A Chinese research vessel returns to Arctic waters — and it appears Canada is watching

The Canadian military and possibly the coast guard appear to have been keeping tabs on a Chinese research vessel as it returns to Arctic waters off Alaska for the second year in a row.

Data compiled by an independent researcher and ship tracker, Steffan Watkins, shows a Canadian air force CP-140 surveillance plane was flying in the vicinity of the Xue Long (Snow Dragon) 2 as it exited the Bering Strait on Sunday.

The aircraft, according to Watkins’s research, relocated to Anchorage, Alaska, from its base in Comox, B.C., on July 9. It has conducted four patrols since then, including the most recent one involving the vessel, which is China’s first domestically built polar research ship.

We’re not just outsourcing ships. We’re outsourcing opportunity

On June 10, B.C. Ferries announced it would buy four new vessels from a Chinese shipyard. Unsurprisingly, the decision was met with disappointment and frustration.

And for good reason.

Despite the massive public investment, there is little benefit for B.C. workers, local shipyards and domestic steel producers.

Canada’s shipbuilding industry has been hollowed out by decades of offshoring.

Canada Is the Best Friend America’s Got

We should be working together to counter China, not trapped in a harmful trade war.

When President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership in 2017, I was profoundly disappointed. In 2015, as Canada’s minister of international trade, I helped negotiate the ambitious agreement that set high standards for the global economy and countered China’s influence in the Asia-Pacific region. It was more than a trade deal—it was a strategic blueprint for shared prosperity and security among like-minded nations.

That withdrawal signaled a larger shift. The Trump administration over its two terms has steadily retreated from the multilateral, rules-based order the U.S. had built since World War II. It has refused to appoint judges to the World Trade Organization’s appellate body, effectively paralyzing the system that enforces global trade rules. It has turned to tariffs as a blunt instrument of coercion, wielding them against strategic competitors like China and longtime partners such as Canada.

Canada is riddled with ChiCom interference, not sure the USA would risk its security any further than it has with Canada’s Liberal government.

Salted Ducks, Supercars, and State Access: How FBI Agents Say Beijing Bought Influence in the Heart of New York Government

NEW YORK — The upcoming trial of Linda Sun — also known as Wen Sun — may prove to be the most sophisticated and high-level political infiltration operation in the United States publicly tied to Beijing’s United Front system. A youthful, naturalized immigrant from China, Sun rose through New York State’s bureaucracy to become a senior diversity official. Now, she stands accused of secretly manipulating two Democratic governors — effectively scripting Andrew Cuomo’s praise of Chinese pandemic mask shipments, while blocking Governor Kathy Hochul from meeting Taiwanese officials and ensuring her silence on the Chinese Communist Party’s mass detention of Uyghurs.

‘Heads Should Roll’: Experts Urge Action on Microsoft-China Pentagon Link

A new report claims that Microsoft has used Chinese engineers to maintain U.S. Defense Department computers, which would present a major national security threat. Experts want Microsoft’s borderline “treasonous behavior” investigated, in comments shared with PJ Media.

ProPublica published an investigation July 15 that claimed “Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel.” While it is not certain that the report is true, Microsoft does have operations and connections in China, and the Biden administration did allow far too many loopholes for potential foreign infiltration, which is one reason why the Trump administration has such a major task ahead in cleaning out the federal government.

DEA Busts Canadian Narco Whose Chinese Supplier Promised to Ship 100 Kilos of Fentanyl Precursors per Month From Vancouver to Los Angeles

VANCOUVER — A senior Indo-Canadian gangster from an ultra-violent British Columbia–based fentanyl trafficking gang with ties to Latin cartels, Chinese Triads, and Hezbollah was taken down in a stunning U.S. government sting that saw a thick-accented Chinese narco casually promise an undercover agent at a Vancouver café that he could ship 100 kilograms of fentanyl precursors per month from Vancouver to Los Angeles, using his trucking company fronted by an Indo-Canadian associate.

Will Xi Jinping Attack America to Prevent His Political Demise?

Rumors say mighty Xi Jinping will lose his Communist Party and Chinese state posts in the next few months. There is, however, also a large group of China watchers and academics who say that little or nothing is out of place and Xi is fine.

Whatever the truth, the U.S. and other countries need to prepare for the regime to lash out without warning. Xi may now have reason to take the world by surprise.

USAID Shipped 11,000 Viral Samples to Wuhan Institute of Virology

You know what the Wuhan Institute of Virology didn’t have enough of?

Viral samples. So the fine folks at USAID collected 11,000 viral samples and shipped them off to the Wuhan Institute of Virology–the very same lab that gifted the world COVID-19, likely through engineering.

Mark Carney should suspend federal loan to BC Ferries for purchase of Chinese ships

Say this for the outrage of BC Ferries preparing to spend an estimated $1 billion to buy four ferries from China, a country doing great injury to Prairie farmers and to fishers in Atlantic Canada and B.C. by imposing tariffs on roughly $4 billion of imported Canadian canola, seafood and pork.

It gives the Carney government a bargaining chip to help negotiate an end to our trade dispute with China by suspending the ferry deal at least for now.

Canada provoked the trade war last year when it put tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum.

Poisoned water and scarred hills

The price of the rare earth metals the world buys from China

When you stand on the edge of Bayan Obo, all you see is an expanse of scarred grey earth carved into the grasslands of Inner Mongolia in northern China.

Dark dust clouds rise from deep craters where the earth’s crust has been sliced away over decades in search of a modern treasure.

You may not have heard of this town – but life as we know it could grind to a halt without Bayan Obo.

The town gets its name from the district it sits in, which is home to half of the world’s supply of a group of metals known as rare earths. They are key components in nearly everything that we switch on: smartphones, bluetooth speakers, computers, TV screens, even electric vehicles.

And one country, above all others, has leapt ahead in mining them and refining them: China.

China currently leads in Rare Earth mining because the west found the cost of the environmental approval process and resulting safeguards too bothersome and so happily sold China more rope.

The Quiet Invasion: A Podcast Investigation into Canada’s Criminal Capture

OTTAWA/LOS ANGELES — Chris Meyer of Widefountain returns to question The Bureau on findings from The Quiet Invasion—a landmark timeline investigation into how Vancouver became a beachhead for transnational organized crime and Chinese hybrid warfare. What began in the late 1980s as low-profile infiltration by Chinese Triads has evolved into a full-spectrum crisis involving encrypted telecoms, fentanyl superlabs, and political access reaching Canada’s highest offices. In this episode, Meyer and Sam Cooper discuss the range of findings, including Canadian vulnerabilities now believed to be of deep concern to the U.S. government.

36,000 Preschools Shut Down in China in Sign of Total Doom

Scores of Chinese have stopped getting married or having kids.

Data released by China’s Ministry of Education last month revealed an astonishing reality: In the past two years alone, 36,000 preschools across China have shuttered their doors.

This is not due to a decline in the popularity of preschool or consolidation on the part of the Chinese government. Rather, these preschools have closed simply because not enough children to attend them were born.

Is China’s EV revolution on the ropes?

Reuters reported early this week that Chinese automakers have been inflating their sales by shipping new cars overseas disguised as used vehicles. The practice, seemingly with the tacit approval of the government — or, at least, the “encouragement” of local governments — sees zero-mile cars head directly from the assembly line to foreign markets allowing automakers, in Reuters’ words, to “to show growth and to dispose of cars that would be difficult to sell domestically.”

Canada orders China’s Hikvision to close Canadian operations over security concerns

The Canadian government has ordered Chinese surveillance camera manufacturer Hikvision to cease operations in Canada over national security concerns, Industry Minister Melanie Joly said late on Friday.

Hikvision, also known as Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., has faced numerous sanctions and restrictions by Canada’s neighbour, the United States, over the past 5½ years for the firm’s dealings and the use of its equipment in China’s Xinjiang region, where rights groups have documented abuses against the Uyghur population and other Muslim communities.
