Refugees From Hong Kong

[Anonymous]

I saw this on Facebook.



During this catastrophic global pandemic, the Chinese Communist Party has been busy revisiting a problem that occupied them before the virus took hold.



Under cover of the disease, the CCP has launched a renewed crackdown on the democracy movement in Hong Kong, making sweeping arrests of a number of prominent pro-democracy activists.



This crackdown is creating a surge in citizens of Hong Kong interested in seeking asylum in Canada. They have seen the brutality Beijing brings down when they want to crush those who stand for freedom, and they are seeking refuge in Canada.



We're all familiar with Justin Trudeau's historical affection for asylum seekers.



But strangely, he's been silent on the Hong Kong asylum seekers. Or maybe not so strangely.



Trudeau's famous "welcome refugees" tweet was sent out the day after the United States had banned refugees and visitors from a list of countries drawn up by the Trump administration.



Extending the same welcome to those fleeing CCP oppression in Hong Kong would certainly draw the ire of the Chinese Communists, and Trudeau wants nothing to do with that. Remember that Trudeau speaks admiringly of the Chinese "dictatorship" and is still scrounging for votes for his ill-advised bid for a spot on the UN Security Council.



Trudeau is still pandering to the Communist Chinese government. Still.



That's why Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland had no comment—either way—a few days ago when asked if the Hong Kong dissidents would be welcome.



That's also why Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, when asked during today's virtual House of Commons session to acknowledge a gift of surgical masks to Canada from Taiwan, could not even bring himself to say the name "Taiwan".



Taiwan has never been recognized by the Chinese Communist Party, and even a mention of the word "Taiwan" seemingly gets the Chinese Communist Party "upset".



That's cowardly. It's craven.



Pro-democracy activists from Hong Kong asking for shelter from Chinese Communist brutality should be welcomed to Canada with open arms.

The coronavirus is a near perfect distraction for China while they purge the pro democracy movement in Hong Kong.

True, coronavirus has sucked all the oxygen out of the room.

Even if it wasn't, I would not expect CTV and certainly not CBC to make Justine uncomfortable.

Why should China allow Hong Kong to be used as a base to destabilize the mainland by Western subversives.

It's the people of Hong Kong themselves who are protesting against the mainland regime..



What's wrong with Hong Kong protesters having supporters from outside the territory.

China to impose sweeping national security law in Hong Kong, bypassing city's legislature



HONG KONG — China's Communist Party will impose a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong by fiat during the annual meeting of its top political body, officials said Thursday, criminalizing "foreign interference" along with secessionist activities and subversion of state power.



The move is the boldest yet from Beijing to undercut Hong Kong's autonomy and bring the global financial hub under its full control, as it works to rewrite the "one country, two systems" framework that has allowed the territory to enjoy a level of autonomy for the past 23 years.



After steadily eroding Hong Kong's political freedoms, Beijing signaled that the national security law will be a new tool that allows it to directly tackle the political dissent that erupted on Hong Kong's streets last year. The months-long and sometimes violent protests began last June and fizzled out only over public health concerns related to the coronavirus outbreak.

China has been undermining Hong Kong's autonomy, rights and rule of law since 1997. Under Xi, they are speeding it up.

Xi Jinping is the most authoritarian leader China has had since Chairman Mao..



He's more authoritarian than Jiang Zemin.

RIP Basic Law for Hong Kong, 1997-2020.

The Chinese Communist Party has a long history of ignoring the rules. The draft "security law" expected to be rubber-stamped by the National People's Congress effectively imposes martial law on the people of Hong Kong, and Canadians and supporters of freedom everywhere should be very concerned.



But we haven't heard a word about it from Justin Trudeau. And this isn't the first time he's been afraid to take a stand.



Our Prime Minister has said he admires China's "basic dictatorship", and he trusted the Chinese Regime when it was clear they were lying to the world. His weak leadership is giving a free pass to the Chinese Communist Party.



While other leaders like the UK's Boris Johnson are charting a new path in their relationship with the Chinese Regime, Trudeau refuses to even criticize them for covering up the initial COVID-19 outbreak. His Foreign Affairs Minister doesn't dare say the word "Taiwan". And we still hear nothing from our government about our two citizens being illegally held without trial in Chinese prisons.
