Canada, and the world, must stand up to China’s latest attack on Hong Kong GlobeDebate
The summer of protests prompted by the extradition legislation, which would have allowed China to arrest pro-democracy Hong Kongers and transfer them to the mainland, appears to have convinced Beijing that it can no longer honour the “one country, two systems” principle it agreed to in 1997.
How is it even possible for Beijing to pretend, as it is doing in the hallucinatory manner in which it so often sells its version of the truth, that these new measures are about preserving “one country, two systems”? As well, the manner of its introduction erases the territory’s right to self government. China’s resolution gives Hong Kong’s government two choices: put Beijing’s new measures into place, or pass a local version of the law that matches what the party is calling for.The Chinese Communist Party is not fooling anyone. Its intention is plain: to fatally erode “one country, two systems." That has long been a goal of China’s leader, Xi Jinping.
