Canada-China Relations committee Citizens' Press Conference actually did a survey with 370,000 respondents, and 98% do not support the national security law.

Canada-China Relations committee Thank you.

Canada-China Relations committee I think it's something we have to look into more closely.

Canada-China Relations committee Thank you. I think it's important to understand that the deterioration of Hong Kong's one country, two systems concept started the moment that Hong Kong was handed over to China.

Canada-China Relations committee It's been many years since the PLA began to send Chinese scholars to different universities to study. There's been a systematic set-up in these research agreements to export the results back to China. I'll get to the policy recommendations specifically. I think we need to have a

Cherie Wong
Canada-China Relations committee Thank you for the question. I think it's been on every Hong Konger's mind to [Technical difficulty—Editor] East Turkestan.
