Who Are We?

“Sever the sister cities relationship with China” Global Joint Campaign (Global Detwin with China)

Global Detwin with China was co-launched on 1st July 2022 by 19 Hong Kong diasporic groups across Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania calling for the termination of sister city agreements with China.

Why are we asking for detwinning with China? 

1. China’s human rights violation and threats on world peace, which reflect its totalitarian nature. 

2. China’s ongoing abuse of sister city agreements. 

3. China's continuous overseas infiltration, which poses threats to other states' national security.

Our vision

Global Detwin with China aims to: 

  1. Encourage more groups and individuals to participate in this joint action by raising this petition to local authorities or supporting local groups who are already participating in this campaign.

  2. Terminate sister city agreements with China successfully and cut China’s diplomatic ties.

What we do

Global Detwin with China is a collective campaign represented by different Hong Kong activist groups. Our work includes: 

  1. Negotiating respective local governments to re-evaluate diplomatic relations with China

  2. Providing support to groups or individuals who want to get involved

  3. Researching and documenting evidence of China’s manipulation of sister city agreements

  4. Serving as a platform to publicise the latest update regarding the progress of detwinning
