Thank you for that very thorough answer. It will certainly help our analysts.
There may be another way to engage in transnational repression. You mentioned Jenny Kwan, who is the member for Vancouver East. I have the good fortune to work with her on the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. As part of a study conducted by this committee on pension funds, we discussed the case of Hong Kongers who decided to leave Hong Kong for good, mainly out of fear of the regime, and ended up in the U.K. and Canada, among other places, but who were unfortunately unable to access their pension funds. Because the Hong Kong government has changed the parameters, insurance companies like Sun Life or Manulife, for example, can't adapt to the new parameters and allow these people to access their own retirement funds. It's their money. Meanwhile, Canada and the U.K. can't adjust their criteria to allow these people to access their pension funds.
Don't you see a form of transnational repression in using insurance companies that have head offices in Europe and North America? It's unintentional on their part, but these insurance companies are being used for transnational repression, because it's the Hong Kong government that's preventing people from accessing their pension funds.
Doesn't this illustrate the fact that insurance companies are unfortunately being used for transnational repression?
