Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Ms. Hui.
On November 19, we witnessed something very difficult for many Hong Kongers, as well as for the Hong Kong diaspora: the High Court of Hong Kong sentenced 45 pro-democracy leaders for their participation in the 2020 democratic primaries. Under the notorious national security law, sentences ranged from four to 10 years.
Does this kind of show of force by a totalitarian regime like the one in Hong Kong demotivate or scare the diaspora even more? Are people more afraid to speak out or publicly oppose the regime when they see such measures being taken?
