OTTAWA — Toronto police are investigating a September 22 confrontation outside China’s Toronto consulate in which a man wearing a black jacket with a red People’s Republic of China insignia damaged Falun Gong protest displays and threatened a female practitioner with lethal violence, invoking Chinese law, accusing protesters of making trouble and threatening to have her shot.

Toronto Business Group With United Front Ties Reportedly Sought Chinese EV Tariff Cut Before Carney’s Beijing Deal

OTTAWA — Days before Prime Minister Mark Carney traded lower tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles for relief on Canadian canola, a Toronto-area Chinese business association reportedly urged his office to remove Canada’s 100 percent surtax on those vehicles, citing support for Canadian farm exports.

The big immigration lie: China increasingly dominating Germany’s automobile industry

The big immigration lie: China increasingly dominating Germany’s automobile industry

This is an article about China’s booming automobile industry and Germany’s declining automobile industry, but in reality, it is really an article about how anti-immigration China increasingly dominates the open borders, multicultural West.

That is not the typical way to open an article in our modern Western press, but this framing is entirely accurate, fair, and a reflection of reality.

Huge data centres rise at ‘China speed’ to power its AI ambitions

Huge data centres rise at ‘China speed’ to power its AI ambitions

In the expansive grasslands of Inner Mongolia, farmers are picking plump potatoes alongside new neighbours: huge, rectangular blocks that will fuel China’s AI platforms.

Ulanqab, with its steppes and volcanoes, is an unlikely digital frontier. For years, it has been China’s official “potato capital”. But now its fields have also become construction sites for a slew of data centres, as Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping meet to discuss AI safety among other things.

Hundreds of workers in yellow helmets carry heavy equipment into the building site as welding sparks fly off metal scaffolding. Above them huge cranes move with precision to build rooftops, while men balance on ladders to plaster brickwork.

Full steam ahead or else.

Public Safety Documents Flag Intelligence, Military Base and Supply Chain Risks in BC Ferries’ China Deal

OTTAWA — Mark Carney’s government’s own Public Safety assessment of the controversial BC Ferries contract with a Chinese state-owned shipyard identified potential risks to Canadian supply chains and flagged the proximity of ferry routes to sensitive military and intelligence infrastructure — including a Signals Intelligence facility in Haida Gwaii and the country’s main naval base in Victoria.

China Is Not Our Friend

China Is Not Our Friend

Even if Chinese technological theft is less frequent in Europe than in the United States —there is far less technology to steal from Europe than from the US — it is nevertheless all too present.

The practice follows what the current director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, long ago called the business model of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP): “Rob, Replicate, Replace.” They steal the technology and know-how for a product, copy it, then flood it back into the marketplace at a far lower price, thereby putting the product’s original manufacturers out of business. When the CCP believes its hold on the market share has been consolidated into something resembling a monopoly, the prices go back up.

Watch out! The same will be true for computer chips.

Cooperating With Communist China On AI Regulation Is A Generationally Stupid Idea

Cooperating With Communist China On AI Regulation Is A Generationally Stupid Idea

Amid growing concerns about artificial intelligence, some in the United States are urging the Trump administration to cooperate with China on AI safety for humanity’s benefit.

In a recent interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that Trump and Xi would deserve the Nobel Peace Prize if they agreed that “no one should be taking a certain level of risk with the development process of this [AI].”

China is trying to corner the global economy

China is trying to corner the global economy

The way US prosecutors tell it, Huawei is a bunch of racketeers whose crimes range from stealing technology to evading sanctions against Iran. The company allegedly ran what it called a “competition management group,” whose purpose was to award monthly bonuses to employees who stole the most valuable information from competitors. Staff were invited to submit entries via a special encrypted email box.

“The entire business operated through a pattern of theft, lies and cover-ups,” according to Taylor Stout, a federal prosecutor in the Justice Department, as he laid out the government’s criminal case to jurors. The trial of China’s global technology champion, whose revenue hit $127 billion last year, got underway in a Brooklyn court this month and is expected to last well into the new year, with Huawei potentially facing enormous fines.

Canada’s Intel Agency Again Flags China as ‘Most Active’ Foreign Meddler

Canada’s Intel Agency Again Flags China as ‘Most Active’ Foreign Meddler

Canada’s spy agency says China is the “most active state” conducting foreign interference in Canada, and warns that Beijing is likely to continue targeting Canadian democratic institutions.

In its Sept. 3 report on foreign interference (FI), the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) said Chinese officials and proxies are responsible for planning, organizing, and carrying out interference activities in Canada.

They hacked a TikTok user’s camera, with help from free AI

SAN FRANCISCO — When local cybersecurity start-up DepthFirst sought artificial intelligence software to help hunt computer bugs, it turned to a Chinese company, not the top U.S. AI labs in its hometown.

American AI firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI restrict their chatbots, Claude and ChatGPT, respectively, from helping with cybersecurity tasks for all but certain, vetted users. Their leading Chinese rivals, however, such as DeepSeek and Z.ai, allow anyone to download and modify their AI models for nothing.

Xi ‘illness’ rumours spread before Trump summit

Xi ‘illness’ rumours spread before Trump summit

Rumours that Xi Jinping fell ill at a major summit and had to be rushed home have circulated widely before his meeting with Donald Trump next week.

The unsubstantiated claims, which appear to have come from critics of the communist regime, follow a purge of military officials in China.

Xi, 73, is often the subject of speculation about his health owing to China’s censorship and lack of independent media, but the latest rumours seem to have taken hold.

With new exit ban law in China, should Canadians rethink visiting?

With new exit ban law in China, should Canadians rethink visiting?

New travel restrictions for citizens and foreigners came into effect in China on Tuesday, including potential exit bans for those who run afoul of Chinese regulations.

“The law provides for a host of conditions under which authorities could restrict your ability to leave the country,” Henry Gao, a law professor at Singapore Management University, told CTV’s Your Morning on Tuesday.

“After this law comes into effect, China is becoming ‘Hotel California’ – you can try to check out, but you might never be able to leave.”


I doubt visiting Canada will be safe for Canadians soon given Carney’s ChiCom security MOU.

Chinese Gangsters Turned This California Paradise into a Marijuana Factory

Chinese Gangsters Turned This California Paradise into a Marijuana Factory

Yreka, California—Siskiyou County is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It sits against the towering backdrop of Mount Shasta and is surrounded by more than a million acres of farmland and forest. But in recent years, Chinese nationals have invaded this serene Northern California paradise to build an illegal cannabis empire.

Chinese nationals, including some associated with the Chinese Communist Party, run massive illegal marijuana operations just beneath Mount Shasta. They and the county’s other illegal growers rake in billions of dollars per year, and terrorize the rural community with shootings, gang violence, and trafficking. This massive criminal enterprise operates in the shadows of America’s most populous state.

Foreign Minister Anita Anand approved Canadian Armed Forces personnel training members of China’s People’s Liberation Army while she served as defence minister in 2023, according to newly released Access To Information records.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the documents also show military officials discussed how to publicly characterize the training, with officers warning colleagues against claiming there was no confirmation Canadian personnel would directly train Chinese troops.
