Recent news that a Chinese diplomat had threatened a Canadian MP’s family in Hong Kong highlights the potential for more severe actions against the general Chinese Canadian population and dissidents by the Chinese Communist Party, warns the leader of a rights advocacy group.

Conservative MP Michael Chong said on Twitter on May 1 that he was “profoundly disappointed” to have learned about threats against his relatives in Hong Kong from the media and not from the Canadian government or Canadian security agencies.
