March 31, 2025 For Immediate Release
Toronto, ON - Thirteen Hongkonger-Canadian organizations strongly condemn Liberal MP Paul Chiang, candidate for Markham–Unionville, following his controversial remarks suggesting that Conservative candidate Joe Tay could be taken to the Chinese Consulate in Toronto to claim a HK$1 million bounty placed on him by Hong Kong authorities. The groups do not accept his insincere apology and urge the Liberal Party to revoke Chiang’s candidacy immediately. 85.4% of respondents of a Hongkonger survey are deeply concerned about transnational repression and infiltration issues in Canada.
Chiang’s remarks, made during a January media meeting with Chinese-language outlets, have sparked outrage. He stated, "If you can take him to the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto, you can get the million-dollar reward," referring to Tay, who is wanted under Hong Kong’s National Security Law for his pro-democracy activism. The comments were widely seen as legitimizing foreign interference and potentially threatening Tay’s safety. Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly warned last December, "This attempt by Hong Kong authorities to conduct transnational repression abroad, including by issuing threats, intimidation or coercion against Canadians or those in Canada, will not be tolerated."
The thirteen groups emphasize that Chiang’s statements are intolerable and represent an endorsement of Beijing’s transnational repression. They argue that such remarks undermine Canada’s democratic values and sovereignty, while posing risks to political freedoms and the safety of Canadian citizens within Canada. The incident highlights the growing concerns about Chinese interference in Canada’s political system and its impact on Hong Kong immigrants.
Despite issuing an apology on social media, where Chiang called his comments “deplorable” and expressed regret, the groups dismiss his apology as a tactic to downplay the seriousness of his outrageous comments. They contend that his actions have damaged the integrity of Canada’s democratic elections and may have violated Canadian laws, including the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act and the Canada Elections Act. They further question Chiang’s commitment to supporting Hong Kong immigrants fleeing authoritarian rule. Anyone who is truly sympathetic to the oppressed Hongkongers will not have made such comments.
This controversy aligns with findings from a recent national survey on Hongkongers in Canada, conducted by C^Mind Think & Do Tank and Canada-Hong Kong Link*. The survey revealed that 85.4% of respondents are deeply concerned about cross-border repression and infiltration issues. Additionally, over 60% are concerned about how Canada manages its relations with China, particularly regarding activities of Chinese diplomatic institutions in Canada. These concerns underscore the pervasive fear among Hong Kong immigrants about Beijing's influence on their freedom of speech and political participation.
The survey also found that 40.9% of respondents have reduced their public political engagement due to fears of transnational repression, while over 30% have scaled back their activism since moving to Canada. Chiang’s remarks exemplify how foreign interference continues to cast a shadow over Hong Kong immigrants’ lives in Canada.
The thirteen organizations call on the Liberal Party to send a clear message by removing Chiang as a candidate. They stress that intimidation or threats against political candidates will not be tolerated and reaffirm Canada’s commitment to protecting its democratic processes from foreign interference.

13個港裔加人團體強烈譴責蔣振宇最近的言論，不接受其虛偽道歉，並敦促自由黨立即撤銷其候選人提名。加拿大自由黨國會議員、萬錦—於人村選區候選人蔣振宇 (Paul Chiang)最近在與媒體會面時公然表示，只要把保守黨候選人鄭敬基 (Joe Tay) 帶到中國領事館，就可以領取香港警方國安處對他的一百萬港元懸賞。
13個港裔團體嚴正聲明，蔣振宇的言論極為不當，令人難以接受。作為自由黨候選人，我們認為他的言論等於認同中共及港共對加拿大的干涉和跨國壓力，並可能對一名加拿大公民的人身安全構成潛在威脅，影響其參與政治活動的自由。此事進一步反映了中共及港共對海外港人、乃至加拿大民主制度和主權所帶來的影響及潛在風險。更令人遺憾的是，此番言論竟出自一名加拿大民選議員，這不禁引發外界對其立場及對加拿大民主價值觀的承諾產生質疑。加拿大外交部長喬美蘭早於上年12月警告「不會容忍香港當局在外地進行跨國鎮壓，包括對加拿大人或在加拿大境內的人進行威脅、恐嚇或脅迫。」
蔣振宇在今年1月一場媒體會面時公然表示：「如果在座諸位能把他帶去中國駐多倫多總領館，就能拿到這百萬元的獎賞。」此話針對的對象是鄭敬基，一名被香港國安處懸賞，並可能與他於同區競爭的政治人物。鄭最近確定將代表保守黨出選多倫多當河谷北區（Don Valley North） 選區的候選人。
13個港裔團體絕不接受蔣振宇事後的虛偽道歉聲明。作為前加國警務人員及國會議員，蔣振宇的言論嚴重損害加拿大民主選舉的公正性，威脅其他候選人的人身安全，更可能涉及違反加拿大法律，包括《外國干預與信息安全法》（Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act）及《加拿大選舉法》（Canada Elections Act）等。若蔣振宇當真同情逃離暴政的港人移民，豈會說出配合中國打壓異見者的言論？
此事與港加聯近期聯合智庫C^Mind進行的全國性港人意見調查*結果相呼應。這份於2024年12月至2025年1月期間進行的調查顯示，有85.4%受訪港人對滲透及跨境打壓問題深感憂慮，是在加港人最關注的議題。另外，超過6成受訪者對加拿大政府如何處理與中國的關係表示關注，特別是中國駐加拿大機構的活動及影響力。這表明，香港移民社群已將這些問題視為影響其社會及政治生活的關鍵因素。
調查亦顯示，即使身處民主社會，40.9%的受訪者仍選擇減少公開發表政治意見，主要原因就是擔憂跨境打壓。超過3成原本積極參與政治活動的港人，在移居加拿大後減少或停止相關行動，反映中國和香港政權的威脅和陰影，依然影響在加港人的言論自由。蔣振宇的言論正是在加拿大助長中國跨境打壓的典型案例，顯示港人的擔憂絕非杞人憂天。
13個港裔團體強烈譴責蔣振宇的言論，並敦促自由黨立即撤銷其候選人提名，向社會傳遞清晰訊息：任何形式的恐嚇、威嚇的行為都不會被容忍，加拿大的民主選舉制度亦不容外國挑戰及干預。

Repost for Canada Friends of Hong King:
Launching of DOTTING THE MAP, a Visual Guide for Canadian Voters on canfriendshk.ca
April 7, 2025 (Vancouver) – Canadian Friends of Hong Kong (CFHK) and Found in Translation (FiT) have teamed up to launch DOTTING THE MAP, a visual guide in nine maps providing a cross-sectional view into the complex picture of CCP infiltration and united front (UF) networks in Canada.
The two NGOs, formed by Canadians of both Hong Kong and mainland Chinese origin, have been outspoken about foreign political interference especially that of the PRC.
DOTTING THE MAP will be carried on the CFHK website: canfriendshk.ca and via Substack of FiT at https://foundintran.substack.com/
Map 1 “Follow the Money, Follow our PMs” in PDF format is attached for your preview. Please visit canfriendshk.ca to review all nine maps.
DOTTING THE MAP, which focuses on how to identify and counter agents of Beijing’s political warfare, also includes:
• A list of sample questions that voters can ask of candidates during an election, and of politicians after they are elected
• The four identifiable toxic traits (4Cs) of united front strategy
• Distinguishing between the PRC and the Canadian Chinese community, and
• What We as Voters Can Do
The CFHK-FiT team hopes that DOTTING THE MAP will serve as a tool to enhance understanding about the PRC strategy and approaches in Canada. It is further hoped that voters would be able to share observations, exchange information and brainstorm ideas, fostering a national conversation about issues that are crucial to Canada’s security and interests.
Quotes:
“This highly impressive guide gives a detailed schematic of the tangled relations between agencies of the Chinese Communist Party, Chinese business, Beijing supported astro-turf social organizations in the guise of Chinese diaspora civil society, their Chinese-Canadian leaders (many selected and vetted by Beijing) and Canada’s political and economic elite.” Dr. Charles Burton, Senior Fellow, Sinopsis, who writes the Foreword
“The visual guide contains fascinating pictorial charts showing the flow of business deals or other favours to Canadian business and political leaders. … In particular, the nine graphics of Beijing’s network of links with the upper echelons in Canadian business and political life is far more potent than a simple verbal description.”
Jonathan Manthorpe, best-selling author and veteran journalist, who writes the Endorsement
