The MPs were also cautioned that any member of the committee – or any Canadian – could be charged under the new law, which is worldwide in scope. China has extradition agreements with more than 35 countries.
“Nobody is beyond its reach; not me, an American living on U.S. soil, and not the 300,000 Canadians living and working in Hong Kong itself.” “I cannot speak to my elderly parents in Hong Kong without opening them up, or subjecting them, to investigation and invasive searches by the police,” he said.Michael Davis, a former law professor at the University of Hong Kong, told the MPs Article 38 of the new legislation says the law applies not only in Hong Kong but to offences “committed outside the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ... by a person who is a not a permanent resident of the region.
“If we actually advocate sanctions at this moment, we could be charged under the law regardless of the fact we are exercising our freedom of expression.” “Perhaps less well-known is the case of Sun Qian, a Canadian citizen and businesswoman just sentenced in Beijing to eight years in prison for being a Falun Gong practitioner. It is possible these types of arrests could also occur in Hong Kong,” Ms. Boyajian said.

savagecookie 'Canadians.'
Yes under the CCPSecurityLaw people from all the world may be arrested and even extradited to China because of what they said. CCP_is_terrorist StandWithHongKong
sk76744116 China destroyed Hongkong democracy and freedom. Please stop China dictatorship CCPChina
And Canadian gov't won't do a g-ddamn thing about it.
The two Michaels is the example, things can happen in China before can happen in HongKong
Actually non-HK residents can be prosecuted for things did outside of HK. Samuel Chu is an example.
The CCP’s hostage diplomacy has never been merciful😬
Come home
Please go home! Be safe!
The globe join together to against all totalitarian regime /govt. No one want to live under the dictator.
Yes, please don't presume HK is a free state
2 Canadians already arrested in China for no lawful reason. This may repeat in Hong Kong as the NationalSecurityLaw is so unpredictable.
Stupid speech💩💩💩
China: Beware of what you say. We are watching you. Can you trust this country and the so-called NSL? HongKongProtests
There are an estimate of 300k of Canadian expats in Hong Kong. It will be a logistic nightmare if the Canada government does not prepare for any deterioration relationship with China.
The whole free world must intervene!
HongKong is totally off and become the NewWestBerlin after the NationalSecurityLaw. The CCP destroyed the SINO-BRITISH JOINT DECLARATION already. OneCountryTwoSystemIsDead. HongKongers, even non-HKer not in HK will suffer in that law. StandWithHongKong
HintMan I'm definitely worried for my Cdn fam there
Canada should do more to speak for their citizens overseas.
Standwithhk2022 yes, possible
fktws Canadians could even be kidnapped or face political persecution just like what CCP did in China.
It is correct that citizens of any nationality will also become the hostage targets of the CCP in HongKong. Hong Kong is now even more dangerous than a third country. ccp_is_evil_govrnment CCP_is_terrorist
atlashongkong1 As the hk govt has shown, even US citizens in US are at risk of arrest. National Security Law of HK applies to the whole world. All countries should protect their citizens from being held politically hostage by the CCP.
GoetsuPriory 因為加拿大政府在勾兌中共的原因
Just for what you said on social media
In fact, everyone in HK is at risk, no matter where the person came from. HK is not safe for tourists to visit as HK is as autocratic as China.
Not just Canadians, all the global citizens will have a chance of being arrested. As the nationalsecuritylaw applies to all nationalities.
Not just canadians in HongKong, but also IN CANADA. Infiltration by ccp is much more serious than you thought. NationalSecurityLaw StandWithHongKong Freedom
Just figured this out now? 🙄
Protect Canadian. Only if we all works together, China or HK government cannot work and cooperate secretly as the world is watching them
HKWORLDCITY 'Canadians'
Canadian please stand strong against the evil CCPChina
Meanwhile MobileSyrup advertising Huawei stuff
RobertFife And that is how you steal a whole ally country from the west.
Maybe it's time for HK to gather with their bazillion Chinese brethren and end Communist rule! This is THEIR fight!
Absolutely true as a citizen of the US is being wanted by Hong Kong Police Force. The extraterritorial jurisdiction is worrying and threatening freedom and human rights across the globe.
Absolutely. With China's national security system implated in Hong Kong making the city no difference to other mainland cities, the two Michaels cases can simply repeat in Hong Kong. Indeed this time they may not targeting expats but locals with Canadian citizenship. Alarming.
The risk is imminent - the ‘national security’ law has hijack all the protections provided under current laws in HongKong. With China infamous hostage diplomacy, Canadians and your assets here are under imminent risk in HK.
well according to the cons/libs there's a reciprocity agreement between asian countries, what's the beef?
If you broke the law overseas, you will at risk of arrest no matter where you are! Not just in China or Hong Kong!
There are over 300,000 'Canadians' in HK, almost none have decided to return to Canada in recent years. This tells you how 'bad' things are in Hong Kong - not very. In fact, many will not return to Canada unless they are dragged onto a plane. Life in HK is too good for these ppl.
The claws of CCP are approaching all global citizens, not limited ppl in their terrritories indeed. How disgraceful they are. The free world shouldn’t neglect the threat of this mega bully.
Corona virus event is not what we've been told it is. Watch Glenn Beck video. We've been scammed. This is about central banks and a financial reset.
didn’t it become a risk the moment it returned to the Chinese July 1, 1997...do people actually need to be told the obvious
RobertFife Awesome
No shit sherlock.
