🇨🇦 Explainer of Canada’s Lifeboat Scheme —— “Young Talents Policy”
Following China's brutal imposition of the National Security Law and the National People’s Congress’ decision of disqualifying 4 pro-democracy legislators, Canada joined the U.K. and Australia in offering a “Lifeboat Scheme” to Hongkongers.
Canada’s Lifeboat Scheme was split into three major distinctive components, including “Young Talents”, “Asylum” and “Family Reunification”.
Details of "Young Talents" Policy are as follows,
Prioritizing Hong Kong students’ study visa applications.
Providing a three-years work visa for individuals with a Hong Kong passport or BN(O) passport who have graduated from post-secondary institutions in the past five years. Eligible spouses or common-law partners, as well as dependent children, can also apply for a study or work permit.
Providing pathways to citizenship for former Hong Kong residents who have graduated from a post-secondary institution in Canada and individuals who have gained a minimum of 1 year of authorized work experience in Canada and meet other criteria such as minimum language and education levels. In-Canada spouses, partners, and dependent children of applicants will also be included.
For more details, please refer to our website or Canada’s Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Department.

Theatre of the absurd for real (Lee Yee)
Carrie Lam said last week she was not worried about “being included on the sanction list” and had no assets in the U.S., nor did she aspire to America, so without a visa, she might as well exclude America from the list of countries she would travel.
Being the Chief Executive of Hong Kong and asked whether she was concerned about being picked on by a foreign country, she should have answered appropriately that she was worried about the overall Hong Kong issue instead of uttering personal affairs. In fact, her son is doing his doctorate in America. If the sanction against her threatens his resident visa, how could she not be worried? Worse still, if the sanction is stringently put in force, the banks that service the sanctioned will become embroiled, and will thereby revoke the accounts of the latter.
Chip Tsao said on his Facebook page, “Her saying ’I have no assets in the U.S.’, deemed by netizens in the mainland an innuendo against members of the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) moving their assets to America, has unexpectedly made her one-night heroine in the mainland.” Some mainland netizens said they were moved by the firmness and unyieldingness of Carrie Lam, and if all their officials and party members were the same as Carrie Lam, no one would give a damn about the U.S.’s sanctions.
The media disseminated that the U.S. government is considering banning all CCP members and their families from traveling in the U.S. and expelling those currently in the U.S.. When White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was asked about it, she answered that she had nothing to announce regarding that aspect, but with respect to issues about China, they reserved every possible option. It means the abovementioned measure is not obviated.
Global Times Chief Editor Hu Xijin said on his Weibo page: “This has been the most insane envision of U.S.’s diplomatic measure made by Washington, D.C. so far, and leaking the news to the media is also an evil act”. Mainland netizens jeered at him by saying, “What are you jittering at, Hu? Now that you are so contemptuous of American Imperialism, why do you take a U.S. visa to heart? A ban on CCP members and their families from traveling in America is no big deal. We don’t care for it! It has nothing to do with ‘insaneness’ and ‘evilness’. ”
Honestly, “insaneness” and “evilness” are just words of exaggeration. In actuality, the measure pertains to U.S. domestic affairs. The U.S. Immigration Act stipulates that all subordinates to communist party and members of its affiliates cannot enter or immigrate to the U.S., surely with clauses of exemption. If the U.S. wants to do it, it can simply enforce it without unnecessary legislation.
Carrie Lam‘s “not worried” and Hu’s “insaneness” have in fact laid bare their genuine worries at heart. When sanctions befall individuals, it is all about personal interests instead of state’s interests. Carrie Lam’s son is in the U.S.; Xi Jinping’s daughter is said to be in the U.S.; a lot of other officials’ offspring and assets are also in the U.S.. It seems that the sanctions will be extended to the U.K. and other countries.
The National Security Law takes the cake. In less than a month since its promulgation, the U.S. and China have been at daggers drawn with each other. It has also put China in a situation in which it is beleaguered by countries all around the world. All of these amount to the theatre of the absurd. Everything stems from a book about Xi Jinping’s private life to be published. Then, five stakeholders of Causeway Bay Books disappeared. It was suspected that Paul Lee, one of the owners, was carted off to the mainland. Amidst an uproar in the media, the extradition amendment bill was tabled for deliberation early last year upon the question “Why can’t we nab a person in Hong Kong?” put forward by Beijing. “Extradition to China” was to be legalized by communist Hong Kong in collaboration with China so that cross-border law enforcement would be made legitimized. However, the backlash from Hong Kong people against it was unexpectedly ferocious and extensive, even making an impact on the international community. After the withdrawal of the bill, the National Security Law, which is even sterner, was then introduced. To everyone’s surprise, the evil law triggered off backfire from all around the world, followed by countries laying siege to China in tandem on end.
How to make an elephant out of a fly
What is weirdest is Carrie Lam tabled the extradition amendment bill to allegedly remedy a “loophole” in the extradition treaty with Taiwan, yet in the end she prompted those countries including the U.S., Canada, Australia, the UK and Finland that have signed an extradition treaty with Hong Kong to rescind the treaties which were based on the promise that criminals would not be extradited to China. With the National Security Law having taken effect, the basis is gone. More countries are believed to follow suit.
The loophole is not remedied, but keeps on festering. There could be a complete collapse of Hong Kong and China’s diplomatic relations with the world. The calamity stems from just a little book. What else could be more absurd?

澳洲總理莫里森下令徹查中共滲透政界一事,打蛇隨棍上,麻煩大家再推一次,致函澳洲議員促請國會通過人權法International Human Rights and Corruption (Magnitsky Sanctions) Bill制裁中共。今次鬧大的主要原因,是證據指明中共在澳洲殺叛諜:
//根據澳洲世紀報(The Age)報導,中國情報單位透過陳姓墨爾本商人(Brian Chen),給予澳洲自由黨黨員、墨爾本豪車經銷商趙博(音譯,Bo “Nick” Zhao)100萬澳幣,要他投入議會選舉,趙波1年前向「澳洲安全情報組織」(ASIO)坦承此事。然而,趙波今年3月在墨爾本一間旅店內離奇死亡,目前警方仍未查出趙波的死因。//
這個陳春生野心不小,他的任務是替中共入侵澳洲的藥業竊取機密。初創公司Imunexus在深圳的生物技術比賽中獲得亞軍後,陳春生及其香港公司Prospect Time就在2017年6月接觸這間公司,覬覦它正研發抗體,揭示中國所舉辦的創科大賽就是共諜揀蟀的實驗場。
陳春生先擲1000萬澳元收購股份,再答應提供幾億元研究資金,一間初創怎能不心動?但原來中共的目標不是Imunexus,而是看中這間公司在墨爾本Parkville的生物技術中心的CSIRO大樓設有實驗室,計劃借Imunexus的名義租用側翼整層,以便共諜暢行CSIRO的每一間公司予取予竊。
CSIRO在2013年曾被中國黑客竊取大批機密,花費數千萬澳元升級網絡安全系統,大大增加了中共再入侵的難度,因此陳春生的任務可謂「任重道遠」。然而,他一見澳洲的國安審查官員便露了底,英文爛透,要靠兩個翻譯幫手,而且講不出為甚麼要浪費那麼多錢收購,結果計劃告吹。
澳媒亦踢爆他曾在G20和APEC等政治峰會冒充國際媒體記者,傳媒亦是中共的主要滲透基地,新華社香港分部就是中聯辦的前身,而那些國安人員大多都報稱自己是記者和編輯,進行「聯絡」工作。在匪語,聯絡即是諜務。總部位於香港的中華報業集團官網顯示,陳春生是該公司的「14號新聞工作者」。陳春生之後收買澳洲華裔自由黨人李博,慫恿他競選墨爾本Chisholm區的國會議員。哪知李博年初向ASIO告發,踏上了死路,3月離奇倒斃在汽車旅館。
張曉明曾說:「你們能活着,已顯出中央的包容。」
《悉尼晨鋒報》指陳春生利用一帶一路作掩飾進行間諜工作,他的香港公司Prospect Time International Investments(德鴻國際投資有限公司)與中國兵器工業集團有來往,並做極多國際生意:
//2017年5月,陳春生與泰國前總理英祿、泰國前首相頌猜會面,並與多名政商人士討論合作。隨後,他又前往馬爾代夫,與該國副總統Abdulla Jihad討論一帶一路計劃。2017年7月底,陳春生帶領著一支精英團隊訪問了太平洋島國帕勞,商討價值1.5億澳元的酒店開發項目。2018年5月,他也在菲律賓宣傳基建項目。//
Prospect Time的聯席董事王振海,被指與中共統戰部有關聯,還大打高球外交:
//2018年,王振海被拍到在一場活動當中,向維州州長Daniel Andrews的高級顧問Marty Mei,授予中國商人高爾夫球協會會員資格。在那場活動當中,王振海還被墨爾本華商Tommy Jiang任命為澳洲國際高爾夫球協會主席。《悉尼晨鋒報》報導稱,Tommy Jiang被認為有中國共產黨的支持。//
我還查到這間德鴻國際,在去年12月5日新疆開設分部搞招聘,未知是否涉及關押維人的集中營,僅稱發展一帶一路。現在,澳洲政府已加入剿共,民間亦需要大家造勢,還請大家繼續出手,以香港合縱國際。

Dear Sir/Madam
I am a constituent of your electorate. As an Australian and Hong Konger, I am writing to you as I hold grave concerns over the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Hong Kong.
Since the start of June, millions of Hong Konger have marched on the street and conducted largely peaceful demonstrations on many occasions to voice their opposition to the proposed The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 (known simply as the Extradition Bill) by the Hong Kong Government, which would establish an official extradition mechanism between Hong Kong and China for the first time in history.
The bill has been criticized by the Hong Kong Bar Association as “a step backward” and failing to offer sufficient protections for the accused. The majority of Hong Kong people are in uproar as they harbor deep mistrust towards the Chinese judicial system known for its corruption, disregard for procedural justice, and towing of the official party line.
Oblivious to the depth of animosity, Carrie Lam, the Chief Executive, and the Hong Kong Government ignored the protestors’ demands and ordered the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) to violently crackdown on the protestors. This is what led to the stunning and horrifying footages of police brutality — indiscriminate use of tear gas in crowded residential areas, aiming rubber bullets at the protestors’ face, violently shoving journalists who are just doing their jobs, and arresting seemingly innocent bystanders based on the colour of their clothing or age. To date, over 1200 people have been arrested with many denied the right to be accompanied by their lawyer for unreasonable period of time and subjected to questionable negotiation tactics during their detention.
As the legislative and executive arm of the Hong Kong government show its true allegiance to China and its willingness to sacrifice human rights over economic growth, the people of Hong Kong desperately need assistance from the international community.
What is happening in Hong Kong is of critical importance to Australia. There are currently 100,000 Australian dual citizens currently living in the city. Regardless of their political opinion on the ongoing situation, their safety is at risk due to the disproportionately excessive force and indiscriminate arrests that are being deployed by the HKPF to suppress the protest.
Hong Kong’s instability will negatively impact on Australia’s economy. Hong Kong is one of Australia’s most important trading partner and home to many Australian companies’ regional headquarter in Asia. It also acts as the middleman for many transactions between Chinese and Australian businesses.
The relationship between Hong Kong and Australia are intricate and mutually beneficial. Given the dire situation in Hong Kong, I would like you to consider to following measures to protect the people of Hong Kong, which would ultimately benefit Australia:
1.Introduce the International Human Rights and Corruption (Magnitsky Sanctions) Bill to the parliament. The previous attempt lapsed at the dissolution of parliament at April 11, 2019. The bill is based on precedents from the United States and the United Kingdom and it would give powers to relevant ministers to make Australia a safer place that values universal liberal values.
2.Include human rights protection clauses in the final ratified version of the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and Hong Kong.
3.Consider offering special permanent protection for people from Hong Kong who currently resides or studies in Australia. Many Hong Kongers are highly educated and value western liberal values. This group would be a fine addition to Australia.
4.Vet all visa and immigration applications from Hong Kong and China more thoroughly for the necessity of protecting the integrity of Australia’s national security as some applicants could have active contributed or complicit in the violation of human rights as part of the police force, HKSAR Government, or private companies (for example, Cathay Pacific’s management, which is terminating the contract of staffs whom have expressed sympathy or support towards the protest movement). Recent clashes on university campuses over the Hong Kong protests have also demonstrated that some foreign students neither understand nor value some basic rights we Australians cherish.
I appreciate your time and I look forward to hearing back from you about your position on my proposals.
Yours sincerely,
Your name
