The World Against China – Ontario Legislature Cancels Chinese Flag-raising Event, MP Says Two Canadians Remain Illegally Imprisoned in China
Citing the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic as the reason, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario cancelled its Chinese flag-raising ceremony, originally planned on Wednesday in celebration of China’s National Day. As two Canadian citizens were still detained in Beijing, the flag-raising ceremony has been heavily criticized as inappropriate. Other jurisdictions in Canada adopted different approaches in response to China’s National Day, such as making no arrangements of or cancelling related activities.
The Ontario Legislature originally planned to hold the Chinese flag-raising event at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Following reports on the ceremony, however, the Sergeant-at-Arms in the Ontario Legislature Jackie Gordon said on Tuesday that because of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, the ceremony was cancelled along with all future flag-raising ceremonies, “In light of the rising number of COVID-19 cases and the recommendations by Public Health authorities to be more vigilant than ever, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario has decided to cancel all flag-raising ceremonies until further notice,”
Gordon initially defended the Chinese National Day celebration ceremony, stating that the Chinese flag-raising ceremony did not involve any political considerations, but was simply held in accordance to the request of the Confederation of Toronto Chinese Canadian Organizations. The Consul General of China in Toronto Han Tao was to give a speech at the ceremony.
Earlier on Tuesday, Michael Chong, Conservative Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Member of the Parliament, criticised the decision to raise the Chinese flag, “I don’t think any order of government in Canada should be flying the flag of the People’s Republic of China while two Canadian citizens are wrongfully imprisoned in China. When governments fly a foreign flag it sends a certain signal”

Xi said Chinese people had a "glorious tradition" of opposing separatism. LMAO.
Like the tradition of putting Uyghurs in concentration camps for separatism? Or jailing Hong Kong students for separatism?
Yikes.
Let's not forget how many times China sent military jets in Taiwan's defence zone. smh.
Also, go Taiwan! 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼 Happy national day!
