A senior citizen of Canada, going by the alias of Carl Chen, has been denied renewal of his passport in retaliation for exposing the racism of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the true nature of the Hong Kong riots. Chen is now trapped in Hong Kong with no access to social services.
Chen has revealed to The Canada Files that senior politicians in the US government, corporate magnates, and participating US soldiers incited the chaos, using the inevitable poverty resulting from Hong Kong’s capitalist system, and the hysteria over the extradition law as a pretext.
After being denied his passport renewal, Chen is now trapped in Hong Kong with no access to social services, since he lacks Hong Kong residency. In addition, Chen’s Canadian bank account has been attacked financially, and the consulate has denied money from his friends being sent to him through Western Union. Chen has also been repeatedly persecuted after discovering the details behind the 2019-2021 riots in Hong Kong.
Initially the insurrectionists disguised themselves as social democrats trying to address the current housing crisis, and as stewards and champions of human rights. However, as time went on, the objectives of the Hong Kong ‘democracy’ protests became clear. The violent and insurrectionary nature of the year-long coup attempt, led by misguided and foreign military trained student leaders, became clear to the Chinese central government. This realisation forced a decisive crackdown on the NATO led insurrection, with the assent of the National Security Law for Hong Kong.
Canada’s Persecution of Carl Chen
Carl Chen, due in large part to his pacifist and Christian values, has always opposed NATO’s war drive and political justifications for violence. His father was a pro-USSR and pro-China anti-nuclear war activist, and as a result, his outspoken nature is emblematic of his desire to promote peace and charity on a global scale.
After Carl Chen exposed the racism of Justin Trudeau and his father, Pierre Trudeau, Trudeau’s “Blackface” and Pierre Trudeau’s familial and political ties to the Vichy regime, through a detailed biography published in 2018, which won’t be explicitly mentioned to protect his identity, the illegal persecution of Chen began. The Canadian government capitalised on mainland English teachers in Southern China’s tendency to renew their passports in Hong Kong, since the Canadian consulate is far closer than the Canadian embassy in Beijing, which is a much longer journey to the north.
Carl Chen had renewed his passport four times before, but the consulate gave him the ‘runaround’ of carefully tailored excuses, including a shameless lie that the passport was on its way, delayed, and limited to two years, right before Chen had overstayed his Visa in Hong Kong and was temporarily detained.
Carl Chen is currently living in the margins of Hong Kong society, with no official status. He is forced to live on an island in a tent along with a camp of other undocumented individuals in a precarious situation. This is rooted in the fact that his attempt to return home or even to the mainland has been unceremoniously derailed by having no passport or travel document.
Consular services are also refusing to provide social services or financial assistance to Carl Chen while he is in Hong Kong, despite being stranded in Hong Kong by their decisions.
The Consulate General of Canada to Hong Kong and Macao refused to comment, saying to reach out to Global Affairs Canada instead. Global Affairs Canada hasn’t responded to our request of comment as of release. The Canada Files will update this article if they do comment.
Concerning the ongoing persecution, Carl Chen has stated, “I think Canada’s move is if there is someone who opposes Canada politically, particularly on NATO, and they’re abroad, they will let their passports expire and not renew them, so they’re stuck out in the other country as punishment.” There is very little doubt that Chen’s revelations on the ‘democracy’ protests in Hong Kong have encouraged further reprisals from the Canadian government.
The True Nature of the ‘Democracy’ Protests
Carl Chen was inadvertently present at the first protest. He remarked that initially, it spoke on the issues in Hong Kong caused by capitalism, including overwork and cramped accommodations for families due to lack of affordable apartments or housing, and weddings hosted in McDonalds’ restaurants due to low wages. This garnered much initial sympathy from onlookers and early participants, who were unaware of the inner workings of the ‘movement’.
Only a small minority in the NATO residing public found it strange to see American and British flags in the protests. However, the older residents, particularly the ones that remembered the ‘democracy’ of the British colonial occupation of Hong Kong (which rejected the right of the majority indigenous population to participate in the electoral process, or live a life of any kind of dignity), were highly suspicious of its initial character.
Those that resisted the chaos in the latter stages would be seen flying Chinese flags in defiance and opposition to the insurrectionary, pro-colonial movement. Naturally, they were directly threatened and attacked by the 'democracy' protesters.
Incidentally, due to the opium wars that caused the Chinese empire at the time to lose Hong Kong to the British, and the more liberal approach to law enforcement on the part of the capitalist government in Hong Kong, the Triads (Chinese version of the mafia or Yakuza) remained very influential in this part of Asia during the protests (20:45-21:44).
Due to Chen’s advanced age, young students concerned for his safety warned him not to approach certain parts of the protest at particular times. These warnings came because the Triads were split politically on whether to support the current government or support the NATO-funded colour revolution. One faction joined the protests and the other joined the opposition to the protests. There was a high risk of injury to Chen because there were going to be, in the protesters’ words, ‘gangsters on both sides’.
Chen remarked that chaos began around the second protest, during the summer in Tung Chung in 2019, when the ‘democracy’ protesters were hammering the roads and tearing them apart to prevent buses from moving. Anyone who tried to photograph the incident was threatened by youth armed with metal rods and metal bats. Chen also remarked that older people were behind the scenes directing them, and this was also noticed by CGTN (1:11-1:31). Carl also witnessed the infamous attacks on the Mass Transit Railway and Hong Kong International Airport.
The true nature of the protest became apparent when it was discovered that ‘protesters’ were not only paid to attend in many instances, but were also paid to destroy property. Bounties were paid as a reward, particularly for destroying Starbucks and other stores, despite them being popular venues (page 3). Moreover, when Carl tried to ask someone in confidence about the details of these payments, he was swarmed by protesters accusing him of being a ‘red’ and a ‘communist supporting Beijing’.
NATO’s support for the coup and the Alliance’s key participants
“C. Fire, while some protestors have used Molotovs, I worry about a couple things regarding effectiveness. [The] first [thing] is please practise throwing. Inaccurate or bad throws are very dangerous to yourself and everyone around you. Do not throw Molotov’s poorly! Second is [the] content, real Molotov’s do not contain alcohol. While alcohol can be used, it burns quickly and at a low temperature and therefore will not deny areas and delay police attacks very well. Here are some resources I found on Molotov’s (not a military weapon; I have no experience):
Note: Napalm B can also be stuck to the ground and barricades to deny areas.”

Benjamin Song is currently enlisted in the US Marine Corps, and was enlisted at the time he ‘visited’ Hong Kong from September 2019 to November 2019, abusing the 90-day Visa free entry privilege for US citizens, according to Carl Chen.
Whether he acted on his own or was ordered to do this by the US Marines is inconsequential, because his actions were supported both politically and diplomatically by the United States and the rest of NATO, including Canada.
Canada shamelessly held the NED-sponsored Lipset Lecture Series at their US embassy, with Romanian anti-communist speaker Alinga Mungiu-Pippidi, at the same time the NED was financing the coup attempt, while Benjamin Song was wrapping up his colour revolution training sessions and heading back home.
Documents provided to us by Carl Chen also revealed US Senator Tom Cotton’s loose connection to Benjamin Song and another key player in the militarising of the protests, Chen Wai Wong, who served in Afghanistan both in 2005-2006 and in 2009-2010 as a US Navy Reserve, and is the Uncle-in-law of Benjamin Song (page 2).
The ‘Free China Texas Global Alliance Against Authoritarianism’ Facebook Group where Benjamin Song was providing training instructions to young rioters, has since been wiped. The name has been changed to ‘Human Freedom Movement Texas Global Alliance Against Authoritarianism’.
However, Chen kept records of the notes of what was posted and when, and the primary source of much of the military training can be traced back to the ‘American Patriot’ Benjamin Song. The brazen acts of NATO in a financial hub that they were benefiting from can be explained by this very nihilistic and fantastical statement:
“We have come to terms with a reality in which China has surpassed the West. It is time to unite or die…”

Benjamin Song did not reply to The Canada Files’ request for comment.
The truth about Hong Kong and the persecution of Carl Chen
“They (the protesters) are like ‘Everything about China is wrong, wrong, wrong, everything about China in Hong Kong is wrong, wrong, wrong, everything about America is good, good, good, we need America to come here to save us’ and these people, it really gets on your nerves, many of them are earning a quarter million American a year, they live in China (the mainland) they have Chinese staff, they have Filipino staff and they want violence here…they live like f***ing princes and princesses here, this is not Beirut, Syria, or Lebanon…when they come here they even get Yacht club memberships…people are sick of these people dominating…they’re dominating English media.”
Carl Chen on the class character of the ‘Business’ and ‘student’ leaders of the ‘democracy’ protests
It should be noted that the extradition law that prompted the ‘struggle for democracy’ was targeting members of this class in particular in Hong Kong. The ultimate goal was to hold them accountable for the crimes that they committed on the mainland and Taiwan province, and escaped from using the ‘two systems’ jurisdiction. This jurisdiction, before the new law, ensured that because of the fundamental differences in socialist versus capitalist legal systems, and the ambiguous status of Taiwan province, criminals would escape accountability because the jurisdictions would naturally have to be different.
In order to avoid being held responsible for what they’ve done, they decided to conspire with China’s main enemy (the US-controlled NATO alliance), manipulate and lie to the Chinese youth and general public going through problems caused by Hong Kong capitalism. The conspirators aimed to incite insurrectionary violence with the goal of Hong Kong’s secession and secure the establishment of a US military base that would tighten the encirclement of China. This is the embodiment of criminals in an unholy alliance with opportunists to manipulate the youth into committing sedition, hence the lengthy jail sentences currently being enacted.
The business and student leaders’ claim to care about underlying social issues in Hong Kong has been exposed as a lie with a recent episode of a Golf course controversy, where the Hong Kong Golf Club has taken the John Lee government to court over its decision to annex 32 hectares of the Fanling Golf Course for social housing. This episode ends up confirming why ‘patriots administering Hong Kong’ is a necessary decision from Beijing in the first place – to serve the people instead of financial elites.
Time will tell whether the current John Lee government will be able to overcome the necessary obstacles to deal with the underlying root causes of the insurrection and weed out the secessionist, anti-communist, and anti-China elements of Hong Kong society.
As for what is currently happening to Carl Chen, this author invites the readers to think for themselves: what sort of a ‘great democracy’, decent country, or let alone even decent society, lets an elderly person way past retirement age get stranded out in another country with no social services or financial support? What kind of a society committed to ‘human rights’ and the ‘rule of law’ does such a thing, either inadvertently or intentionally, as punishment for telling the truth about or criticising the country’s leadership?
It will take some courage to even ask yourself these questions, and a lot more to ask them publicly, but you should do it if you truly want to seek the truth and ‘fight for democracy’.’
