Comment on “I Will Never Return to Hong Kong in My Life: Agnes Chow from Hong Kong Announces Departure for Canada” [in Japanese]
On December 4, 2023, Professor Maiko Ichihara of the Graduate School of Law published her comment on the Asahi Shimbun article, “I Will Never Return to Hong Kong in My Life: Agnes Chow from Hong Kong Announces Departure for Canada.” This article is about Hong Kong democracy activist Agnes Chow, who was asked by Hong Kong authorities to temporarily return home and turn herself in at the end of December, but has decided to remain in Canada for safety reasons. Professor Ichihara first congratulated Chow on regaining her passport. Meanwhile, as Chow chose Canada over Japan to study, Professor Ichihara pointed out the need to change the Japanese society so that the next generation of young people will be educated in Japan and want to play an active role in the country.
