Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you very much. It's a great honour and privilege to have the opportunity to testify at this important and very timely hearing. I thank the committee very much for inviting me. I have conducted research on Hong Kong for almost 20 years now. In recent years, I have research

Dr. Malte Philipp Kaeding

Canada-China Relations committee  Yes, I agree with you that we can't go back to what is now called this new cold war and completely shut ourselves out, but I think it's very, very important to speak out, and to do it, as many of my colleagues mentioned, in alliance with others so that there is collaboration and

Canada-China Relations committee  Just very briefly, I completely agree with Professor Hom that individual, targeted, wide-reaching...so the more people, the better. I disagree with Professor Ong that this will be detrimental to Hong Kong's economy.

Among young people, over 80% now completely identify as Hong Kongers, not Chinese at all. They even try to ethnically distance themselves. There is

Dr. Malte Philipp Kaeding

Canada-China Relations committee  I agree with Professor Hom that it's very difficult to predict. What I have tried to say is that because China is driven by all these fears, it could be very likely a miscalculation on one level in the Chinese regime, where they're saying, okay, maybe we have to please Xi Jinpi

Dr. Malte Philipp Kaeding

Canada-China Relations committee  Of course you're right that we don't know how they will apply this, but I think we can see that what Carrie Lam said at the beginning, that it would be only a very small number of people, is not true. It is broader than we had all feared. Without a reaction from Canada and like-m
