OTTAWA — Dennis Lu, the Natural Resources Canada scientist at the center of one of the most consequential foreign-interference prosecutions in the country’s history, co-authored a scholarly book on carbon-capture technology that his publisher released in December 2024 — months after Canada’s national security police had already detained him. The Bureau has confirmed Lu’s co-author was a Chinese professor who is also a Communist Party personnel official: the man who, since 2020, has helped run the recruiting machinery at Southeast University in Nanjing and today directs its Talent Work Office.
