“Canada’s China Class”

A government report on Chinese espionage activities in Canada accuses Beijing of engaging in a “systematic campaign of intelligence-gathering, persuasion, influence, and manipulation” against the Chinese community.

In the report obtained by Global News, Canadian officials alleged the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office was tasked with “influencing or manipulating” community members, and using “coercive tactics” against dissidents and minorities.

“This involves intimidation of OC (Overseas Chinese) at every level of society,” the report said.

Liberals ask Conservatives to reconsider stance on Winnipeg lab documents

OTTAWA – Liberal house leader Mark Holland is again asking the Conservatives to agree to a compromise over documents the government wants to keep secret on the firing of two scientists from Canada’s national microbiology lab.

In July 2019, scientist Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were escorted from the National Microbiology Laboratory and then later fired.

Canada’s spy agency for the first time is warning individual MPs and senators from all major parties about influence operations being carried out by China and other adversarial states.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has become increasingly alarmed about efforts by China and its agents of influence to covertly cultivate relations with elected officials to gain sway over parliamentary debates and government decision-making.

John Townsend, a spokesperson for CSIS, told The Globe and Mail agency officials are briefing parliamentarians, telling them to beware of foreign influence and interference operations.

Justin has been talkin semi-tough about China of late. This isn’t a belated awakening to the inherent evil of the ChiCom regime rather I suspect Junior was read the riot act by formerly staunch allies.

I bet ChiCom infiltration of Canada by fellow travelers and useful idiots like Trudeau is in fact far worse than we know and we are now considered a security risk. We see the greed motivated subservience to their ChiCom masters by our Captains of Industry & Academics. You can bet a lot of palms have been greased by Beijing and their proxies in Canada’s China Class.

Two researchers at McGill University say a disinformation campaign against a Conservative Party candidate during the 2021 election race is a disturbing demonstration of how propaganda tactics could be used by hostile foreign actors to interfere with Canada’s political system.

And they suggest a countermeasure to discourage future disinformation efforts would be a public registry to track foreign influence that is similar to the very mechanism that former B.C. MP Kenny Chiu was attacked during the election campaign for proposing.

ChiCom election interference against a Conservative party member, Canada not invited to join AUKUS and Huawei still not barred from 5G network development. Isn’t that interesting.

A week ago, the shareholders of Canada’s Neo Lithium approved the sale of the TSX Venture Exchange-listed company to China’s Zijin Mining for about $960-million. The announcement received little coverage and appears to have bothered almost no one in the federal government. It should have.

While Neo Lithium is hardly a household name, and the company is relatively small, its purchase should have raised a stink not just in Ottawa but in Washington and among North America’s electric-car makers. That’s because lithium is an essential component of the batteries that power electric vehicles (EVs), a suddenly burgeoning market, and vast amounts of the global supply of the light, silvery-white metal are going to Chinese companies.
