Hong Kong business tycoon Li Ka-shing and his son, who both hold Canadian citizenship, have donated a total of over $15 million to the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF), a law enforcement agency that has been instrumental in suppressing the city’s democracy.
Mr. Li contributed HK$40 million (C$6.9 million) to the Hong Kong police through the Li Ka-shing Foundation. His son, Richard Li, separately donated HK$50 million (C$8.6 million) to the Police Welfare Fund, as reported by state-owned media Ta Kung Pao on Aug. 7. These contributions were made amid the 2019 civil protest against the Hong Kong authorities’ proposed amendment to the city’s extradition law.
