Once again, this is an area where our interests, preferences and values fly directly in the face of what's being promoted by China. We shouldn't shy away from continuing to express our disagreement in this regard. I doubt that Canada will be able to meaningfully change the situation in Hong Kong unless we go through multilateral channels and create and maintain collaborative relationships with other actors to put some form of group pressure on China.
That said, when it comes to what China considers its own territory, jurisdiction and internal affairs, it's extremely difficult to make our condemnation bring about a positive change of circumstances. I share your concerns about that.
With respect to the second part of your question, I'm aware of the allegations of a possible Chinese police presence in Canada resulting in illicit activities on our territory. Again, I feel it's crucial to get evidence of what's being claimed and to get our facts straight. I'm confident that our law enforcement agencies will be able to shed light on these allegations.
