Right, so it sounds like you are advocating that they stop admitting Chinese international students. You are being intentionally vague by saying "taking measures", what do you actually mean by that? Do you mean not admitting Chinese students? Do you mean deporting them? Do you mean making them take cultural awareness classes as part of their curriculum? What exactly does "taking measures" entail to you?
Bringing up Jordan Peterson is not a whataboutism, its me providing an example of what the rights guaranteed by Canada allow for people to do on Canadian soil. People who are legally on Canadian soil (such as students on Visa) also are guaranteed rights, even if they aren't citizens.
I thought I'd explained what I meant by taking measures- let me clarify that.
*Banning the promotion of the CCP.* That's what I mean. If that means Chinese international students will have to agree to not promote a fascist government before they are admitted into the country, that's fine by me. They may well hold pro-CCP beliefs themselves, but they wouldn't be allowed to, say, (counter)protest against pro-HK protesters for the CCP, is the rough idea I'd have right now. Canada already has laws against certain forms of hate speech, including things that might be regarded as fascism (such as genocide denial), so this is not implausible, I'd hope.
And look, the reason I didn't bring JBP and such people into this is because, quite clearly, the political sphere in pretty much any country allows people to legally support some abhorrent shit right now. I'm just arguing that shouldn't be the case. "Canadian fascists have rights so international student fascists in Canada should also have rights" is just... a weird argument. I'm not saying outlaw international students from doing this and say nothing for native Canadian CCP supporters, outlawing CCP promotion in general would be the only reasonable way to go about this actually.
I'd be offended if I weren't sad that you seemingly expect me to say banning Chinese international students outright would be a serious consideration.
Tolerant of fascism is different from calling 99% of all Chinese international students fascism supporters, or suspecting any Chinese of being fascist sympathizers.
It does strike me as weird that there are people here who apparently think people who grew up under an incredibly repressive regime would not (at least partly) ultimately resent said regime.
(To such people, I'd also add that international students, generally speaking, are more privileged than domestic students socioeconomically, so it's actually quite plausible that the Chinese students who do make it to Canada from China are better connected and better informed about non-CCP living than the average Chinese person.)
I suggest some of you read what you wrote but exchange "Chinese" with some other nationality/racial group and see how it reads.
Banning white fascists from promoting Trump and like figures sounds good to me actually.
edit: Another idea, banning promotion and support of the CCP would also help non-fascist Chinese students, because if nobody's allowed to support fascism, those who don't support fascism wouldn't stand out.
