Hong Kong is just another city of mainland China. Canada should require visa to Hong Kong SAR passport holder just like mainland Chinese passport holders. We never know whether China will take advantage of Hong Kong passport to send its agents to Canada bypassing the scrutiny of the visa application process.
Spot on
Hong Kong is part of China. Which successful country dont have domestic national security law? *HK Basic Law: Article 23* _The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall enact laws on its own to prohibit any act of treason, secession, sedition, subversion against the Central People's Government, or theft of state secrets,_ *to prohibit foreign political organizations or bodies from conducting political activities in the Region,* _and to prohibit political organizations or bodies of the Region from establishing ties with foreign political organizations or bodies._
@@LivingLonger Feel free to enact whatever law you wanted. I don’t care. Canada also had sovereignty to impose visa requirement on Hong Kong passport holder who wants to come to Canada. No more visa free access.
@@maplehightech should Chinese care for visa free access? Canadians are missing out on major tourism revenue from Chinese visitors as Beijing leaves Canada off its list of approved travel destinations - a move that it is linking directly to Ottawa's recent focus on alleged foreign interference.
@@LivingLonger China along with Hong Kong’s economy is going down to the drain. Investors are leaving China and Hong Kong. Just look at Chinese and Hong Kong stock market. How many Chinese youth cannot find job and how many Chinese lost their job since pandemic. As a Canadian, I am more worried about illegal immigrants and government agents from China and potentially from Hong Kong in future than those tourism revenue which 90% Chinese don’t have money to come to Canada anyways. Hong Kong will soon become former financial center.
Thank you for covering this story.
it's a totally different hk, and during 1980s, ppl already expected what would happen today. sad but not unexpected.
Lies again? Sin Lust Microsoft Word
One country two systems died in 2020.
I think it might be safest not to travel to Hong Kong.
Yes, specially if you want to stir up trouble.
Still safer in HK than in NYC, LA, Oakland, SF and many western cities for sure.😅
In nations that uphold the principles of freedom and democracy, the liberty of the press is a given. However, in places like Hong Kong, the introduction of a new security law has created a situation where one could face punitive measures, and the criteria for such are not explicitly defined. This means that even a minor verbal misstep could potentially result in a prison sentence. Given these circumstances, it's understandable that one might be hesitant to visit such a place.
@@user-ef3bu2cz1n What is Freedom and Democracy? When modern press reports biasly, is that a given? Unless you have political agenda in mind when visiting other countries. I can assure you the local government will not have time to deal with you even if you run your mouth in the middle of the street. Actually, Singapore has "The Internal Security Act 1960 (ISA) which is a statute that grants the executive power to enforce preventive detention, prevent subversion, suppress organized violence against persons and property, and do other things incidental to the internal security of Singapore." Yet people still flock there for holidays. It's because HK which used to be a British colony and now handed over to China that the Western media is making such a fuss. While most if not all countries in the world have similar laws.
In nations where democracy is well-established, freedom of speech allows for the criticism of presidents and ministers without fear of punishment. However, the introduction of a new national security law in Hong Kong, which has ambiguous criteria and can lead to punishment for even minor verbal missteps, creates a situation that might discourage visits to the region.
Just a lesson for Taiwan to never every Allie with china willingly
It only matter of time for taiwan
Taiwan dosen't have security law?
@@user-zc1xc1yz2j
They don't have one that makes chanting and singing certain words illegal, no. Nice try at misinformation, chive.
Simply put, what's happening to Chinese and Hong Kongnese is like people would be thrown in jail due to an objection to Trudeau's policies or decisions in Canada. Any dissent has been silenced by force.
Dude, you really need to go outside.
Suffice to say... I'm sitting here in Edmonton, and I have yet to see the secret police wandering around and terrorizing protestors like they've done in Hong Kong.
And people say we’re in a dictatorship over menial life adjustments💀
Well online bill they want to pass in canada is pretty similar and worse than this.. cause it includes “ pre” through t and stuff landing people in jail for life no due process.. its insane..
My parents would be the first to go to jail for CCP worshipping and criticizing Trudeau every day. 😂 Seriously, I don't know why they are even Canadians.
@@npcimknot958
Uh which one?
They destroyed HK. A very sad moment in history.
If removing foreign interference from outside agents is destroying Hong Kong then that's good news to me.
@@Revenger3rdUnit
It's good news for Singapore and Britain too. 😂
No, they destroyed the west’s intentions to steal the city from China for ever.
Thank you for doing what most media outlets have not fully done with this coverage, which is to really go through the nitty gritty and draw our attention to the definitions used in the bill (at least as much as you could while maintaining audience interest). The emphasis on "disaffection" was particularly interesting (disturbing). Thanks, Andrew and CBC.
Thank you very much for covering and explaining this to the general public.
Everything is illegal in Hong Kong, drugs, marijuana, living on the street, the list go on. I wish I could live in Canada.
So you can be a homeless drug addict? lmao go ahead come to Canada
The fear is that you are making too much propaganda.
It’s amazing how all the comments here supporting this law only ever comment on China/Russia videos.
And anti-Canada stances at every change, what are the odds…
They probably live in USA too. I love these little pinks, so adorable. 😂❤
Some countries you can go anytime, some countries you go at your own risk.
It is now illegal to possess Apple Daily in Hong Kong or sing Glory to HK national anthem
Oh but you see, it's just like any western countries that throws you in jail for 5 years because you said some words or own some books. 😂
*Sarcasm*
hong kong of the old is gone. for those have an inkling of idea it would return is living in a dream world. the law (feelings) in hong kong is only whatever beijing says. foreigners have no right to interfere with china or hong kong business, law or feelings.
Wrong
Like your comments, keep up!
thank you
CIA, bye bye !
Hey cbc, did you read the online harms bill in canada.. it sounds prettttty close to this bill but even worse
Citation needed, little pink.
Good video.
Should ask Beverly McLachlin what she thinks of the new law.
She says she will defend rights while being on the HK government payroll
@@jameschou888She should resign
Morn than 1 mil Hongkongers visited China during Easter holidyas for better food, shopping, travel, medical and etc. All better value for their hardworking money. benefit both Hongkong and China. Every Western countries has national security laws. Tiktok, Chinese Made products, even some Chinese Made food are so controversial according to US's laws.
¿External force? ¿Is the amorphous - transnational NGO, KPOP ONCE, an undesirable external force? ¿Can a member of the Chinese Diaspora who is a publicly declared ONCE be prosecuted under this law without regard to place of residence? ¿Will the Fox hunt/Skynet pursue such a person? This idea is terrifying for this commenter who is a ONCE.
That’s why CIA moved its operation to Taiwan from HK
The government got schooled by a bunch of kids so you blame it on the CIA. 😂
It is because the SE Asian countries screwed up first. They laid down so much cables and forced their own respective governments to NOT.... Stand by their so-called areas. That is why, they call it "digitals".... Those individuals that did those kinds of things don't have UN level legal understandings. And just scraped all sorts of international data without filtering them out. Causing carnages..... And now all SE Asian countries are using militaries and one upmanship etc.....
I can tell a describle like this: when a good computer plug into a virus system, it down(done).
Should interview Daniel Dumbrill-Brian Berletic-Danny Hyphong-Alex from Reporterfy Media-Cyrus Janssen. CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, Einar Tangan-Martin Jacques-Lijinjing-Tian Wei
LOL those guys are well known ccp shill.
Let them have their law。its not like canadians will go to hong kong for business or leisure.
Wonder how many commenting here have actually been to HK, lived there long enough to see for themselves the situation there instead of hearing words of some "experts". 🤔
born and raised there... that's why lots of people leave :)
@@daniellai7712 Yet many came back after finding out life in their foreign "dream country" is not what they expect.. 🤭
It’s no longer the British Hong Kong all Hongkongers grew up in
Are you sure they knew what 1950s / 1960s Hong Kong policies were?
Do the math: 2024-1997=27! People old enough the be in the US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES did not grow up in British Hong Kong.
Good the HK people are now truly free from the colonizers
@@Revenger3rdUnit Now colonized by a dictatorship …
@@Revenger3rdUnit
HK is colonized by the CCP. The people never asked for it. 🤦
HK moved from one coloniser to another, a worse one now
What about the problem on 'TIKTOK'?
Laws are meant to be broken. Bro
7:14 imprisonment for "14 years"🤐very intentional.... unlucky number
I think Canadians are one the last to talk about freedom and human rights when they can’t condemn the genocide in Israel. Hypocrites! Hypocrites! Hypocrites!
social is like americans banning tiktok
Double standard
Goodbye HK.
我的思緒理不開
說過的一切已不再...😢
This marked the real return of HK to China. Article could have avoided the riots in HK in 2019. The legislation is 26 years overdue since 2003.
Yes it cleans up all outside foreign interference now. It is now a pro-China Hong Kong
Could have avoided the riots by giving the people democracy. 🖕
He is so cute
Comment section already filled with whatabouism and gaslighting. Instead of tackling the points made in the video, let's just make false equivalence about other countries instead.
Relating the national security legislation with other countries isn't "whataboutism", it's "context". The South China Morning Post interviewed many business leaders in Hong Kong and they replied that Article 23 is similar to most other countries, so there are no issues.
Do you ever see Chinese government or Chinese citizens comment on Canadian politics and tell Canadians how to run their lives? Why is it always westerners that think they have the moral high ground or civilizing mission to critique other countries?
@@jasonjean2901 You mean the business leaders remained as opposed to the ones who joined the mass exodus? You mean the business leaders who need to be on China's good side to continue doing business in HK? Yeah who are the impartial voices we need to hear right now.
@@freddytang2128 In case you've been asleep, there is currently a giant foreign interference scandal going on in Canada.
And good job guys for continuing to not address the points made in the video
Last I checked, it wasn't 2047 yet
never believe a word from communists. in the sino british joint declaration, 50 years unchanged after the handover mean more like 25
I feel the same. Honestly, it is not a matter of "if" but "when".
They just did a few decades ahead of schedule. The legal loophole is a perceived fear that undermine stability of the whole country.
Too much propaganda.
Yan kasi nasakop ng british masmataas pa ihi nila sa British issue ng HK sakanila lang nag serculate walang pake south east asia south asia sobra iba sa issue ng Taiwanese na handa ang japan at philippines ipagtangol 😂
Omg
Joshua Wong for president of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's already forgotten about that extremist.
c63
Article 23, 港版國安法, Pooh
This cbc reporter is so cute I wanna kiss him
...
this CIA propaganda shame
Not as shameless as little pinks, chives, and human mines. 😂
1 country 2 systems means Pro-China system not anti-China system. Therefore Hong Kong needed to be corrected free from outside foreign interference aka America's destabilization efforts.
What destabilization efforts? You've been brainwashed.
It sounds very reasonable compared to C63.
Type of comment that is either being said by someone whose extremely ignorant... or is typing from Beijing.
@@johnkonrad5040 Written like someone who didn't read the bill. Seriously, read it! If you think china is bad, you should take a peek at who you're defending and square that dissonance.
if it were true, you'd already be in jail. 😂
@@bananian It's been tabled. funny you mention that. The I'm not a violent person, I wonder how many would respond with violence towards dystopian actions meant to prevent it. in that way, the bill itself is guilty of itself.
Security laws from 1858 to 1997 under great Britain was far more oppressive...why complain now ???
Yeah that's why a bunch of people left HK after the handover because life was so much better under the CCP....
@@bananianIt actually is. Zero crime. No drugs. No homeless.
Treason is illegal in Canada and so is hate crimes.
Except treason in Canada doesn't mean chanting certain words or singing certain songs or owning certain books or subscribing to a political activist channel...
The difference is, we are allowed to criticize politicians and we can elect new leaders.
@@allanc5743 It is a different culture in Canada. I was born in Canada. If you see how it is so manipulated in a silent and polite manner, you realize that it is different. Look at the sick people. They were designed to be sick.
@@bananian I am the one that told them of war of the world strategy. I told them of triangulation. And the rioters go caught at 4am when Singapore's press captured the video faster than Jimmy Lai's organization. There were fundamental reasons why the movement lost at the onset, but the rioters could not see it. They had a lot of the star aligned but they missed a lot of critical things.
@@allanc5743 There are elections in China too. The west does not recognize. There is also an internal fight like the US. A lot of the Hongkies are stuck like those of the 90s outside of China/HK; look at those seniors. I was young enough to watch uncles fight between China and Kuomingdong sides; kind of funny. Big still wins.
Imagine Chinese media did a video analyzing Canadas laws word by word.
I did saw an individual conservative media post a video against Online Harms Act in a social media. However, it did not read an act like this.
Feel free to analyze Canada’s law to Chinese people. Maybe Chinese media should explain what is Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms to Chinese people and compare that to how China protected it citizens rights and freedom in China.
They have.
Most of the comments here are Chinese-bots.
@@johnkonrad5040 most of them are paid 50 cents.
That would literally be in violation of the act you just heard about.
The media outlet associates would be arrested for sedition.
Trudeau did the same thing with CBC
You're literally watching a CBC report about Chinese tyranny.
What is the west doing about it besides using their highlighter? Nothing
And what is it that you want the west to do?
Doing nothing is better than whatever it is the CCP and the useless HK government are doing. 😂
海外猿聲啼不住,輕舟已過萬重山。
everywhere has their national security law. they sound like they have and we don't? hahahahaha ours is even MORE strict. USA and UK have VERY strict laws too...
These laws are as much about national security as China is a democratic country.
If you're interested in a context-based discussion about Article 23, rather than simply hearing a news reporter and a democracy activist being confused by how legal systems work, then there is a good discussion in the Singaporian news outlet CNA: th-cam.com/video/2NYTe0HEZz0/w-d-xo.html
The comment we needed. You’re a genius. Tell us more about what you know please
Simple answer, "My house my rules", just leave if you don't like living under that type of ruling
Then please give all Hong kongers tickets to the west please. 🙏
🇨🇳🇨🇳👍China 👍🇨🇳🇨🇳

It doesn't matter what the west lies about Article 23 law.
It won't work ok.
This Hong Kong theirown law.
Every countries also have theirown all kinda different laws.
So what's the problem that Hong Kong can't able to has theirown Article 23 law.
Just hope this guy know well about this Article 23 law before talking about ok.
The difference is “other country’s laws” are determined by *those* country’s people.
A dictatorship pushing an unpopular law restricting the freedoms of another supposedly autonomous government is beyond apples-and-oranges.
BUT THIS LAW WITHOUT CONSULT THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG, GO ASK HONG KONG PEOPLE WHAT THEY THINK.
You will be defunded soon CBC
How, you little pinks going to boycott CBC? You already can't watch it with the firewall. 😂
Mind ur own business 😂 cbc lol u take care ur Canadian b-c11 law first lol😂
You should mind your own business by not climbing over the firewall. 😂 Pooh is going to be really mad.
Totally misleading informations report.
Nothing misleading. HK is now controlled by communists.
Define treason under article 23
This is none of your business, why don’t you make comments on Africa countries? Canada is dying, why don’t you criticize the government? Why paying taxes can fix the climate change?
Why was it China's business when the UN was taking over North Korea? 😂
Every countries have their own laws as long as people happy about it.We just keep the mouth shut.so do CBC.
Literally no one is happy about it except for Pooh and you. 😂
hard for western spies now.
NGOs........they're volunteers, just happen to be all former military and diplomats
What technology are they going to steal from China? Their exploding cars? 😂
Too much propaganda.
From China, I agree. 😂
