Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think it's important that we show strong opposition to the genocidal acts that Beijing has been committing. Boycotting the Winter Olympics 2022 is a very important gesture. I think first we need to consult with athletes to find a solution to balance it. We could ask for a rel

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm fully on board with abolishing the contract, because it's very important that we understand the nature of the Chinese Communist Party. They will abuse every source of information and every power that they have to get access to this information, because it means they could spe

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question. I'm an asylum seeker. I'm seeking asylum in London. I understand how lost you will be in the system. I think it's important for now, for us, that we provide certain gateways for people in Hong Kong that they could apply for, or at least have a prelimi

Citizenship and Immigration committee  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 com

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair and other members of the committee, bonjour. I'm Nathan Law, a Hong Kong activist who was forced into exile under Beijing's tightening [Technical difficulty—Editor]. Thank you for having me today to give my testimony on the ongoing deterioration in Hong Kong. As a

Canada-China Relations committee  The simple answer is that I cannot go back to Hong Kong and I'm living a life of exile. From now on my life is committed to international advocacy work for the democratic movement of Hong Kong.

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you so much for the questions. I always say that I'm completely safe. We understand how far-reaching the influence of the Chinese Communist Party could be, so I try to—

Canada-China Relations committee  I'm sorry about that. I then also say that I'm completely safe, and we all understand how extensive China's reach can be. For the past couple of months since I left Hong Kong, I have been living a discrete life and trying to keep a low profile, so I didn't really appear at event

Canada-China Relations committee  After a series of disqualifications of the Cantonese running for the council and parliamentarians over the past number of years, I believe that the Hong Kong people already view the legislative council as merely a puppet council of the Chinese government because the Hong Kong peo

Canada-China Relations committee  I think for now at least it isn't likely to happen in the foreseeable future because Beijing still does not target massive numbers of people. But other than an exit plan, concrete help for those individuals in Hong Kong, Canadian Hong Kongers, is crucial so we should develop plan

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you once again for your question. I think the foreign minister has also talked about it, and they have considered it, and they have not said that it is impossible. For me, a continual dialogue with them is crucial, and I hope this could be done in the future for the second

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you. Yes, definitely; I think it's especially for activists like me. I have been engaging in political activism for around six years, and I've been avoiding going to places where their relationship with China is quite friendly. Thailand is one of the places. For me, it's c

Canada-China Relations committee  Yes, indeed under the Magnitsky act, we are all hoping that these sanctions do apply to the Chinese officials. For now it isn't the case. We're trying to put forward that enactment in order to really hold these Chinese officials accountable. I believe a similar sanctions mechanis

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you so much for your question. I think, first of all, that we need to deal with consensus. Consensus-building is the most important way to push for political changes. I studied at Yale last year, and it was a period of time when Hong Kong was having a massive movement.

Canada-China Relations committee  I'm sorry about that. Last year we saw the consensus-building process in the U.S. across political aisles, which made the Hong Kong issue one of the very few topics that both parties could agree on and then process in a traumatic space. I've been doing international advocacy wo
