\u201cWe are concerned with the situation in Hong Kong. We have 300,000 Canadians who live in Hong Kong and that\u2019s one of the reasons why we want to ensure that the one country, two systems approach continues for Hong Kong,\u201d Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in his daily news conference. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have long called for a de-escalation of tensions and genuine dialogue between Hong Kong citizens and Beijing, and we continue to call for that, and we will keep monitoring the situation closely.\u201d <\/p>\n
