OTTAWA — Canada’s digital spy agency responded to more than 2,000 attacks on the federal government and its critical infrastructure partners last year, according to a new report, amid heightened concerns over the use of cyber warfare tactics by foreign actors.
“China – Communist Slave State”
Huawei lawyers claim emails prove US has no grounds to extradite CFO from Canada
US justice department’s battle to extradite Meng Wanzhou from Canada has taken a fresh turn as lawyers for Huawei’s chief financial officer claimed that internal emails and bank documents prove there is no grounds to extradite her to the US.
Meng, 48, was arrested on a US warrant at Vancouver airport in late 2018, and has been battling extradition to the US. Her detention infuriated the Chinese government and has helped drag relations between Beijing and Ottawa to their lowest point in years.
Cut Off the Blood Supply to China’s Communist Party: End Trade
“I want to be clear on this, our goal is not to hold China back,” said U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a June 25 interview with Anne Claire Coudray of TF1. “It is not to establish a policy against China.”
Really? The Chinese regime spread a disease that has at last count killed 604,000 Americans; last year it urged the violent overthrow of the American government; it is killing tens of thousands of Americans annually with fentanyl and related opioids; and it steals half a trillion dollars of American intellectual property every 12 months. It has even declared a “people’s war” on America.
Invoking residential schools, Trudeau appointed senator and Communist Chinese asset Yuen Pau Woo says Canada should be careful about criticizing China
In a provocative speech in the upper house on Monday, Independent Senators Group (ISG) Leader Sen. Yuen Pau Woo said Canada should avoid criticizing China for its human rights abuses against Uyghur Muslims because our country has mistreated Indigenous peoples.
Echoing an argument made by Chinese officials at the UN last week, Woo said China’s policy toward the Muslim minority in Xinjiang province is similar to the colonialism directed at Indigenous peoples in this country, and that condemning the Asian country in harsh terms would be hypocritical and “simply an exercise in labelling.”
Bill Maher WHACKS Google, Facebook For Banning All Lab-Leak Questioning
On his Real Time show on HBO on Friday night, Bill Maher lashed out at Google and Facebook for suppressing anyone merely asking the question if the coronavirus leaked out of a lab in Wuhan. Science is supposed to be about testing a hypothesis, but some of those had to be crushed…for politics.
The China class wants access to the Xi’s market, they’ll do anything.
The Chinese Communist party: 100 years that shook the world
1921: The first meeting
Anyone visiting First Meeting Hall in Shanghai, the museum recreating the site of the first conclave of the Chinese Communist party (CCP) in 1921, will also find themselves in one of the city’s fanciest districts.
The precise time of the meeting is murky, and 1 July was chosen by Mao Zedong years later for commemoration when he couldn’t remember the exact date on which the dozen or so comrades had held their conclave.
In addition to the Chinese at the meeting in the city’s French Concession, including Mao, there was one representative of the Comintern, or the Communist International. For a period, some attendees were airbrushed out of official accounts, as they were later accused of collaborating with the Imperial army in the treacherous civil war and Japanese occupation in the 1930s.
Worth a read, even if it is from the Guardian.
Vatican Foreign Minister to Epoch Times: Church Has No Positive Contribution to Make in Hong Kong
… Since the renewal of the Sino-Vatican Deal last October, Pope Francis—who has been extremely outspoken on other human rights and ecological crises—has been silent on China and Hong Kong. The Chinese Communist Party’s brutality and human rights violations, both in mainland China and in Hong Kong, have caused world leaders—such as former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo—to call for the Vatican to end its “preliminary” deal with China.
TikTok, tick-tock
Chinese-owned TikTok recently updated its privacy policy in the United States. The immensely popular social video-sharing app, known in China as Douyin, blithely gave itself permission to collect biometric data of U.S. users, including faceprints and voiceprints. The networking service is owned by Bytedance, a Chinese company headquartered in Beijing and founded in 2012.
Nike Exec Assures China: ‘Nike Is a Brand That Is of China and for China‘
Nike CEO John Donahoe rushed to reassure China’s communist rulers that his sportswear company is all about working with them, saying that, “Nike is a brand that is of China and for China.”
Donahoe made his comments during a phone conference with Wall Street analysts about Nike’s fourth-quarter earnings report.
Rex Murphy: Trudeau Liberals taking House speaker to court another arrogant attack on Parliament
A prime minister does not take the Speaker of the House of Commons to Court!
Those words ought to be yelled from any and all rooftops.
Diane Francis: Canadian Forces have right to know if they got COVID at the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan
This week, lawmakers in the United States called for an investigation into whether the October 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan, China was a COVID-19 super-spreader event and whether officials should have known something was amiss, given that the city seemed unusually empty and was described by some participants as a “ghost town.”
Speaker wants information on fired scientists released, prepares to challenge Liberal government in court
Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Rota intends to take on the Liberal government in a court fight over the disclosure of documents related to the firing of two scientists at Canada’s highest-security laboratory.
The Speaker’s office says the Speaker’s legal counsel has advised the attorney general that Rota — who is named as the respondent on behalf of the House of Commons in the Liberal government’s court application — will challenge the court’s jurisdiction on the basis of parliamentary privilege, unless the government drops its application to block the disclosure of the documents.
I wonder what our Quisling China Class has to hide?
How China Sees It
It seems that the European Union and the United States are now calling for a renewed investigation into the origins of the coronavirus. They are “urging” China to cooperate fully and provide “complete access.” Them’s fightin’ words! The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be quaking in its boots — especially after President Joe Biden’s national security advisor stated that the consequences of not cooperating would be international “isolation.” This half-hearted approach will not get the job done. It’s long past the time to get serious with China, and we all know it.
Why will this “powerful” unified initiative by the U.S. and its allies fail?
Canada’s China Class At Work: Agency head on hot seat over lab scientists’ firing has history with China ties and controversies
It’s been a tough few weeks for Iain Stewart.
As the federal government’s point man in a heated political fight, he faces parliamentary sanction for refusing to tell MPs exactly why two scientists with links to China were fired from the National Microbiology Laboratory.
This is the stuff Eisenhower warned about.
Did a Chinese Spymaster Defect to the US?
Circumstantial evidence mounts that a top Chinese official may have switched his allegiance.
The head of counterintelligence for the Chinese Ministry of State Security may have taken a treasure trove of secrets and defected to America.
The facts sound like they come straight out of a John le Carré novel, but growing rumors suggest Dong Jingwei, who is China’s vice minister of state security, may have quietly switched sides back in February. Dong reportedly escaped China on a secret flight out of Hong Kong, along with his daughter, Dong Yang, and a cache of confidential documents.
