Thank you for the questions.
I think it's extremely worrying that the information of the visa applicants or even people who are in contact with others concerning political suppression will be in the hands of Beijing. We understand that when Beijing wants information from the company registered in China, they could get it. There is no concept of private information for these companies, because in a one-party dictatorship the Chinese Communist Party could get whatever it wants. They have a lot of tools to get the information they want, including blackmailing or colluding with them or just providing financial incentives.
This is a very worrying situation. The Canadian government should take prompt measures to ensure that the information of people who are facing political suppression will not fall into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, resulting in secondary harm to them.
