Chong says he remains undaunted by the risk that his testimony ends up making him an even more prominent target for Beijing, particularly in the U.S.
Conservative MP Michael Chong, the target of an alleged Chinese foreign interference campaign that’s become a political migraine for the federal Liberal government, will tell his story Tuesday to lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Other scheduled witnesses include Yana Gorokhovskaia of the pro-democracy D.C. think tank Freedom House; Laura Harth, the campaign director for the human rights group Safeguard Defenders; and Uyghur activist Rushan Abbas. The commission was established in 2000 as an effort to keep tabs on China’s long-decried human rights record, foster development of the rule of law and catalogue the growing list of its political prisoners.
Virtually every domestic policy decision in the U.S. is made within the broader context of ending dependence on Chinese suppliers of raw materials, manufactured goods and high-tech components like computer chips and battery minerals. The Liberal government, Chong said, still hasn’t done enough in the wake of the Huawei saga to properly fortify its foreign policy approach to China, even as the U.S. and other democracies adopt a more hawkish stance.
