🇨🇦【加拿大國會議員：訪港擬與黃之鋒會面遭中共施壓】
[China blocks MPs from meeting pro-democracy figures]
早前加拿大國會議員向《環球郵報》（The Globe and Mail）揭發，在他們過去數年的幾次訪港期間，曾遭中共施壓，要脅他們不要跟陳方安生、黎智英和我見面，反映當局避國際社會得悉香港真相，有何等意欲在國際舞台將我們滅聲。
固然在國安法通過以後，我也未有跟任何外國國會議員作會面或出席聽證；不過，諷刺的是，政權「只許州官放火 不准百姓點燈」還是相當明顯，均不見行政會議召集人陳智思，在今年年初經已聯同張國鈞和葉劉淑儀外訪，還趁見官留倩影。
無論如何，跟大家提及這事，其實是想讓各位知悉，每場聽證、每個交流、甚至每張合照，促成之先均經過過五關斬六將的艱辛過程，包括現在身處羅馬外訪的羅冠聰，也是如此。

1. Beijing exerted pressure on Canadian MPs, urging them not to meet Hong Kong democracy figures, including recently arrested media mogul Jimmy Lai and me during their tour to HK in 2017, per Globe and mail.
.
2. The craziest thing was, when one of the MPs, Garnett Genuis, raised human rights issues in China during the meeting, Chinese officials “lectured” him at length for more than 45 minutes, from the end of the meeting and all the way through the dinner.
3. It is horrifying when the then-MP Linda Duncan’s Ottawa office received from the Chinese embassy, who dissuaded her from meeting Dalai Lama, when she travelled to northern India in 2019.
4. Such Beijing interference intensified before national security law. As Amnesty report says, Beijing & its loyalists increasingly use “threats, bullying and harassment” to stamp out voices criticizing China’s human rights violations in Hong Kong and Uyghur.
5. This diplomatic intimidation solely aims at stigmatizing pro-democracy forces & silencing voices supporting HK. But when Beijing loyalists also met foreign MPs/officials in the past, it is clear these exchanges are normal & crucial to guarantee int'l confidence over the city.
