Protests around the globe against China’s national security law for Hong Kong
Echoing the protest in Hong Kong, residents in Winnipeg and #Vancouver gathered respectively on Saturday to support their HK counterparts in fighting for #freedom from the clutches of China.
“My roots are still in Hong Kong, every time I saw the Hong Kong news, I feel the same with the Hong Kong people — I still have family back there, friends, a lot of good friends who (are) part of this movement fighting for freedom,” said Brian, the organizer of the demonstration.
“People are protesting and asking for something that’s a basic right, democracy.”
How bad is the situation in Hong Kong?
Out of fear of the reprisals from the Chinese Communist Party and concern for the safety of their families in Hong Kong, some protestors (in #Canada ) were only willing to speak with the media on the condition that their full, real names not to be disclosed.
Both local and oversea Hongkongers want the city to be democratic, and justice must be done for those who have been missing and unjustly abused, or have even sacrificed their lives for the causes. For that, #Hongkongers are united to fight on, for justice, for the city, and for future generations.

Douglas Todd: 5 reasons to question Vancouver's label as the 'anti-Asian hate crime capital of North America'
Some international media outlets this year labelled Vancouver “the anti-Asian hate crime capital of North America.”
They focused on a Vancouver police report that showed hate incidents against East Asians (not “Asians,” as the articles misstate) jumping by a startling 717 per cent in the year that COVID hit, up to 98 from 12.
Bloomberg,The Guardian and other media outlets then rushed to compare the Vancouver hate-crime unit’s data to figures from some large Canadian and U.S. cities and concluded that there had been more incidents in this relatively small West Coast city.
