The recent passage of the National People’s Congress’s draft decision to impose a new national security law for Hong Kong raised anger among Hong Kongers and people that care about Hong Kong around the world. Following the nearly unanimous passage of the bill, 13 Canadian organizations responded with a joint statement to condemn this utterly vicious attack to further silence dissent within the city of Hong Kong. The joint statement raised severe concerns about the constitutionality of the law and the ambiguous term of setting up a national security bureau, which has been interpreted as a Chinese version of the KGB in Hong Kong.
As the world looks at Hong Kong and determines what should be the next step to take, President Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the Chinese-led World Health Organization and remove Hong Kong’s special trading status with the United States. Although some may not like Trump’s style of governance, his actions towards China are undoubtedly correct. China has now become the primary aggression in the world. If the world continues to appease him, it will just want more and more, until it becomes too powerful for the allies to take him.
