吳溫溫:海外要幫港出聲 Winnie Ng: Overseas Hong Kongers should voice out for Hong Kong

今年七月一日是中共建黨一百週年,各族聯合為中共「贈慶」,由加蘭公園遊行至中國領事館。本報專訪聯合主辦活動的吳溫溫,講講對加國港僑民主運動的看法。

On July 1 this year is the 100 year anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party. Various communities, including Hong Kongers, Tibetans, Vietnamese, Chinese, Uyghurs, Burmese and Taiwanese, joined to protest against CCP, in an event titled “100 Years of Oppression”. We interviewed co host Winnie Ng to talk about her views on Canadian Hong Kongers’ democratic movement.

加蘭公園是起點

多倫多支持中國民運會主席吳溫溫表示,當年八九六四屠殺之後,也是由今日的集合地點加蘭公園遊行至中國領事館,多年來堅持尋找六四真相。由去年7月1日開始,香港已變成police state,不再是大家熟悉的地方。尤其是蘋果日報被封,不少支持民主的戰友坐監,醒覺到不能對特權政府有任何幻想。

TADC (Toronto Alliance for Democracy in China) chairperson Winnie Ng said, just after Tiananmen massacre in 1989, they started a rally from Grange park to Chinese Consulate, the same as today. Their inner fire of seeking truth of Tiananmen Massacre has always been the same. Since July 1 of 2020 Hong Kong became a police state, which is no longer the place HongKongers used to be. Apple Daily has been taken down by the government, many democracy fighters have been jailed; everyone should no longer look forward to anything from this dictatorship government.

受害各族應組成正義聯盟

今年出來有幾重意義,第一是香港已不能七一遊行,海外更加要出聲。在香港可以出聲的空間越來越窄,身在海外的港人更加要做多些。第二是今日是中共建黨100週年,不同血腥事件歷歷在目,被中共欺壓各族包括台灣、西藏、東突厥等更加要聯合起來。中共要搞統戰,民運人士在這邊也搞自己的統戰。她希望推動加拿大政府杯葛2022北京冬季運動會,代表體育精神及國際友好的活動不應有此極權政府參與。

“There are several meanings for the rally in July 1 this year. First, people in Hong Kong can no longer rally, overseas Hong Kongers need to walk out for them. The room of freedom of speech has been narrowed down in Hong Kong, we the people who live in the Free World should do more for them. Secondary, today (July 1) is the 100th anniversary of the birth of CCP. The bloody history is still in our mind: those who being suppressed, including Taiwan, Tibet and East Turkestan should stand up to China. CCP uses ‘United Front’ as their strategy, we should also have our coalition against them.” She said. She anticipated to push the Canadian government to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022. The Olympic Games represents sportsmanship and international friendship; the involvement of dictatorship governments is no match with such an immaculate event.

加拿大即將開關,吳溫溫表示到時將有不少來自香港的手足及市民來加,希望推動加拿大有更完善安排讓新來加港人在此立足。中國在加拿大有很大影響力,有大量滲透,加國華人不同媒體、手上的票及聲音都有影響力。加國港人可以透過投票使候選人照顧加國港人心聲。遊行及不同活動除抗議外,也可使本地人看見在國慶日也有人出來抗議。她表示,該會出來遊行之外,也有進行遊說工作。她自己是工運的,在工運也有做自己應該做的工作,和職工盟有密切聯繫。 https://www.pornjk.com/tags/xcxx/

Regarding Canada to be reopening soon, Winnie Ng expected that many Hong Kongers (including frontline activists) to be coming to Canada. She hoped to advocate Canada to have a better arrangement for the new comers to settle down. Influence from China is deep in Canada and the impact is in great degree. Different media owned by Canadian Chinese and their vote also impact much. She suggested that Canadian HongKongers can cast their vote to make candidates to listen to their voices and work for them. The presence of rallies and protests at weekends, and even on the National Day, can raise the awareness of the local communities on the importance and the severity of issues. Winnie said that apart from organising rallies and protests, TADC has also been involved in lobbying. She has been organising worker movements, and has been working close with Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions.

港僑忌各自為戰

她認為,本地港人不應各家自掃門前雪,大家應積極參與。2019年,香港將參與精神帶到來加拿大。加拿大有高度自由,容許公民有機會批評違反自由、人權及民主,大家都可以出聲。出聲不是不愛國,而是盡了加拿大公民應盡的責任。投票不是每四年出來投一票,而是身為公民的監督作用,發揮唐人在加拿大聲音。加拿大不是完美,對黑人及少數民族也有不公,大家也有責任出聲。馬丁路德金表示,當有任一地方不公,即所有地方不公。我們不單要保護香港有的價值,更要保護及支持與其他人共享的普世價值。

Winnie thinks that Canadian HongKongers shall never be indifferent to the injustice and sufferings in Hong Kong, just concentrating on their own good; Hong Kong matters is an issue for all and they should all actively participate for all’s sake. Fellow Canadian HongKongers did resemble the spirit of active participation in Toronto, and even all over Canada, in 2019. She stated that Canada has a high degree of freedom; citizens are free to criticise any violation on freedom, liberty, human rights or democracy. Voicing out on such issues shall never be considered unpatriotic; it is the obligation of Canadian citizens. Casting votes quadrennially should never be considered as a routine work to be done, but our powerful weapon as citizens to monitor the government, and empower ourselves as Canadian HongKongers. Canada is never a flawless country; there has been injustice towards the Blacks, as well as the First Nations people. As Canadians, we are to voice out for any of these injustice. She quoted Martin Luther King Jr.: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere”, and emphasise that HongKongers should not only protect their own values, but also stand up and defend the universal values with all the others.
