After CCP Spy Fiasco, US Should Reconsider Sharing Intel With Canada

After CCP Spy Fiasco, US Should Reconsider Sharing Intel With Canada

In late July, a Canadian woman of Chinese descent was arrested in Belgium on serious charges of espionage for China while serving as an intern with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Canadian media have identified the woman as Biwei Zhang, also known professionally as Claire Zhang or Catina Zhang.

Reportedly born in China, she later became a naturalized Canadian citizen. Zhang has a background in systems engineering, computer science, and economics. Before starting her internship at NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Mons, Belgium, in July 2025, Zhang worked at the Canadian Space Agency and Statistics Canada.


It will not get better.

Canada has to purge the nation of incompatible cultures that have been embedded in sensitive positions and that won’t happen without annexation by the US.

Spy charges against Canadian intern at NATO triggers ‘cascade of issues’ for multiple agencies

OTTAWA — A Canadian intern accused of spying at NATO’s strategic headquarters will make her first appearance in a Belgium court Tuesday to seek bail, and while the hearing will be held behind closed doors, the outcome will be released to the public.

The female suspect is accused of working on “behalf of a third country and of being a member of a criminal organization,” according to the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office, adding that the chamber will decide if “pre-trial detention should be maintained.”

… As per protocol, the intern was vetted by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the RCMP before being hired at NATO.

Canada has become America’s northern security threat

Canada has become America’s northern security threat

Canada’s failed policies are doing more than fouling American air. Summer across the Midwest and East Coast has again brought unhealthy and hazardous air-quality warnings from Canadian wildfires. Poor forest management threatens public health and daily life. Canada’s immigration policies pose a deeper and more lasting danger.

Most Americans still regard Canada as a polite northern extension of the United States: familiar, friendly, and strategically harmless. That view belongs to another era. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that “nostalgia is not a strategy.” Neither is complacency.

U.S. flags concerns over Canada’s ties to China as it blocks CUSMA renewal

U.S. flags concerns over Canada’s ties to China as it blocks CUSMA renewal

The United States’ top trade official is pointing to Canada’s deepening economic ties with China as one of the reasons Washington is refusing to renew the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade (CUSMA) in its current form.

Speaking to Global News on Thursday, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the White House is concerned Beijing could use Canada as a back door into the American market.


My suspicion is the Americans are not much concerned with economic matters but worry more at the ChiCom compromised security risk Canada is becoming.

HANNAFORD: Ex-Alberta emergency chief says Ottawa destroying national security agencies – as a matter of policy

HANNAFORD: Ex-Alberta emergency chief says Ottawa destroying national security agencies – as a matter of policy

Retired Lt. Colonel David Redman, former head of Alberta’s emergency management, has accused federal authorities of the intentional erosion of Canada’s national security apparatus over the past 11 years.

“To go from calling China the largest strategic threat to Canada one year ago and now calling it a very significant strategic partner is a completely intentional act. You can’t say it’s not. And so from my point of view, each of the steps in the degradation of Canada’s 10 elements of national security have been thought through and are intentional.”

Ottawa says it won’t allow Chinese EVs to be used for spying on Canadians

The federal government will take steps to ensure that imported Chinese electrical vehicles cannot be used to spy on Canadians, a parliamentary committee heard Thursday.

Testifying before the procedures and House affairs committee, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said Ottawa will put safeguards in place to make sure that Chinese EVs do not have “the capability to transmit information” back home.

He was responding to questions from Bloc Québécois MP Christine Normandin, who raised concerns that Chinese EVs could become “little spies on the road that could record our calls and take pictures of where we are going.”

China says Canada deal not aimed at U.S. after tariff threat

China said on Monday that a preliminary trade deal with Canada “does not target any third parties” after the United States threatened to impose 100-per cent tariffs on Canadian products if the agreement were finalised.

Under the deal, announced this month, Beijing is expected to reduce tariffs on Canadian canola imports and grant Canadians visa-free travel to China.

But over the weekend, the United States — Canada’s traditional ally — threatened to impose 100-per cent tariffs on Canadian products if the deal were to go ahead, saying it would allow China to “dump goods”.

Former Senior Mountie: Carney’s RCMP–Chinese Police Cooperation Deal Is a Counterintelligence Danger That Risks Sovereignty

OTTAWA — After nearly five decades in policing, intelligence, and financial-crime investigations—including professional experience working in Asia—I have learned a simple rule: who you cooperate with matters as much as what you cooperate on.

Last week, the Prime Minister’s Office announced that Canada and the People’s Republic of China will enhance law enforcement cooperation on drug trafficking, transnational and cybercrime, and money laundering. On paper, this sounds reasonable. Fentanyl is devastating communities. Cybercrime drains billions. Organized crime adapts faster than borders.

WAPO: Canada will regret cozying up with China to troll Trump

Canada is cozying up to China. It’s not surprising because of President Donald Trump’s bullying, but it is shortsighted.

Describing a “new world order,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had the gall during a trip to Beijing last week to claim that China is a “more predictable” partner than the United States.

Trump has been a bad neighbor, so maybe Carney is trolling Trump for musing about making Canada the 51st state. After all, he acknowledged last year while campaigning for the premiership that China is the biggest threat to his country’s security. At the same time, the Greenland saber-rattling, which threatens to upend NATO, is deeply unnerving Canada.


Great, now all our Amazon shipments will go missing.

‘Looking like a supplicant is undignified’: Michael Kovrig on Carney’s China trip

Former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig — who was detained by China for more than 1,000 days between 2018 and 2021 — says Prime Minister Mark Carney’s tone and messaging during his trip to China were “worrisome.”

In a bid to reset relations with China and counter trade threats from the United States, Carney became the first Canadian prime minister to travel to the Asian country in eight years this week.


Thread by @andrewmichta on Thread Reader App

The announcement by Canadian PM @MarkJCarney of a reset in Canada-China ties accompanied by a trade deal of dramatic proportions will likely go down in history as a major political blunder. But don’t listen to me: Premier Doug Ford of Ontario already denounced the deal. 1/9

Anger, however justified, should never be the principal driver of policy. This is true both about our Canadian brethren, and true about our European allies. We are living through a rocky transformation of the international system, but the geopolitical realities remain

From surge in patriotism to fewer US trips – Trump’s impact on Canada

In the year since US President Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second term, he has brought with him significant global shifts.

Like many countries, Canada – America’s closest neighbour to the north – has felt the impact and seen a change in the long-standing relationship with its close security ally and trading partner.

Trump has imposed tariffs on several key Canadian sectors and has warned of more to come. He has also referred to Canada as “the 51st state” — a jab that has been met with a mix of anxiety and an uncharactaristically fierce display of patriotism.

Canada’s Strategic Ambiguity With China Is Becoming an Alliance Liability

After the Liberal government defined Canada’s relationship with China as a strategic alliance, the prime minister’s visit to Beijing inevitably carried more weight. This was not simply a matter of timing or protocol. It reflected a decision about how Canada wishes to navigate a more contested international landscape. Choices of this kind extend beyond trade or messaging, and when a NATO member edges closer to an authoritarian system, allies recalibrate while competitors probe for advantage.

This is not a circumstance that can be managed through repeated talking points. It demands a harder look informed by experience, available evidence, and the practical obligations Canada has assumed within its alliance relationships.

The Prescient Warning Behind Ottawa’s China Influence File—and Carney’s Beijing Electric Vehicle Gamble

A Canadian immigration control official who warned of influence from Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s Beijing–Montreal business networks, predicted the types of outcomes unfolding under Carney.

This abridged 2023 Bureau investigation is being reposted in the aftermath of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trade mission to Beijing. It offers a plausible lens on how Ottawa can arrive at policy choices that may ultimately damage the interests of most Canadians—and erode Canada’s standing as a Western middle power.
