Joe Biden’s new China tariffs puts Canada in a bind on electric vehicles

Earlier this week, the Biden Administration announced a sweeping set of new tariffs on Chinese imports. The tariffs target strategic sectors from steel and aluminum to green tech. Headline-grabbing among those were the 100-per-cent levies on Chinese electric vehicles. The tariffs are partly political posturing during an election year, as a prior 27.5-per-cent levy and an exclusion from national tax credits have largely kept Chinese EVs off U.S. roads. More important than the tariffs’ immediate impact, though, are the long-term strategic policy considerations underpinning them.

Canadian Intelligence Flags 2 Canada-Based Media as Being Close to the CCP

Two Ontario-based Chinese media outlets that had published information aimed at former Conservative MP Kenny Chiu weeks before the 2021 federal election have been identified in the foreign interference inquiry report as having “close links” to the Beijing regime.

“Canadian intelligence holdings identify both 105.9 Yes My Radio and CGCTV as having close links to the PRC [People’s Republic of China] government or PRC state-media,” stated the interim report published by the foreign interference commission on May 3.

Chinese Communist Party Is Linked to an Organization Responsible for Anti-Israel Protests in America

An organization tied to the Chinese Communist Party has funded, in part, a radical anti-Israel group since its formation in October 2023, a new report finds.

The report from the Network Contagion Research Institute says that the anti-Israel group Shut It Down for Palestine is funded in part by Chinese programs that promote “alternative anti-establishment media organizations promoting anti-American narratives, as well as seemingly grassroots activist movements.”

Toronto banker tied to Trudeau fundraiser slaps Globe and Mail with $250-million libel suit

A Toronto businessman that reportedly attended a private fundraiser with Prime Minister Trudeau in May 2016 before winning approval to launch a bank catering to Chinese-Canadians has slapped the Globe and Mail and myriad government defendants including CSIS director David Vigneault with an extraordinary $250-million libel suit seeking to expunge a series of articles that suggest Ottawa is concerned Beijing is clandestinely pursuing a range of geopolitical and economic strategies “that are a direct threat to our national security and sovereignty.”

The lawsuit, filed May 9 in Toronto Superior Court, alleges Canada’s leading newspaper has defamed the plaintiff and his bank.

Huawei Enlisted Entire Nortel Team for 5G, Team Leader Now a Royal Society of Canada Fellow

When Canada’s Nortel Networks went bankrupt in 2009, China’s Huawei recruited an entire Nortel team to its Canadian arm to advance its 5G networks development. As Canada banned Huawei in its 5G network in 2022 over security concerns, the former Nortel team leader became a Royal Society of Canada fellow that same year.

Wen Tong, the established engineer who brought his Nortel team with him to join Huawei Canada in 2009, currently leads the Chinese telecom giant’s 5G wireless technologies research.

CSIS and Toronto Police believe Canadian politicians exposed to PRC blackmail in underground casino: Sources

YRP allegedly captured digital evidence from casino network tied to “Team Trudeau” fundraising and election interference investigations

During the pandemic Canadians were awed by images of heavily armed tactical officers raiding 5 Decourcy Court, a $10-million, 53-room villa in Markham, Ont. stacked with deadly weapons and over a million in cash, the proceeds of an opulent “palace” offering spa and gambling pleasures to wealthy clients, according to York Regional Police (YRP).

“The money moving through these underground casinos leads to huge profits for criminals that fund other ventures such as prostitution and drug trafficking,” YRP stated in September 2020, adding detectives believed patrons received brothel service inside the 20,000-square-foot, marble-floored mansion.

China forces all high school pupils to do military training

All high school pupils in China will be forced to undergo mandatory military service under a new law on “defence education”.

The law, which will end a nationwide debate over what is already a common practice, also proposes drills for middle school pupils — aged 12 to 15 — and says that defence education should be part of the syllabus even for primary school children.

Israel’s Newest Security Threat – Is the US Next?

The Iranian-orchestrated Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 — which resulted in mass rapes, the murders of 1,200 men, women, children and infants; taking more than 250 hostages and firing thousands of rockets at Israeli towns and cities — has shown that China, which Israel might have thought was an ally, turned out to be, sadly, more of an enemy.

China refused to condemn Hamas and its terrorist invasion of Israel, choosing instead to condemn Israel just a week after the massacre and before Israel had even launched its ground operation in the Gaza Strip.

CSIS warns that Chinese-backed interference isn’t going anywhere in latest report

As the dust settles on the landmark findings of the foreign interference inquiry, Canada’s intelligence agency is warning that China likely will back more meddling campaigns and expand its online pressure tactics over the coming year.

In its latest annual report, released Tuesday, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says the People’s Republic of China (PRC) remains “an enduring threat” to Canadian technology, democracy and diaspora communities.

“The PRC’s negative perceptions of select Canadian domestic and foreign policy initiatives may also drive more foreign interference, disinformation efforts and cyber activity in 2024,” said the report.

Will China Soon Control Both Elon Musk and SpaceX?

At the end of April, Elon Musk at the last moment cancelled a trip to India, instead showed up in Beijing, and snagged a deal to rescue Tesla. The results were immediate: The shares of the electric-vehicle maker, which had been out-of-favor on Wall Street, soared on the news.

Now Washington has to be worried that China will control Musk’s other company, SpaceX, which is critical to America’s ambitions in space.

Former B.C. MP has ‘lost faith’ after inquiry finds foreign interference may have cost him his seat

Former B.C. Conservative MP Kenny Chiu feels vindicated by preliminary findings from a federal inquiry that found foreign interference may have cost him his seat in the 2021 election.

Chui, who ran in the riding of Steveston — Richmond East, is calling on the Liberal government to follow through with its promise of a foreign agent registry like the ones established in the U.S. and Australia.

No one will go to jail. The only ones who won’t lose faith are the Liberals.

From solar to EVs: How China is overproducing green tech

United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned China last weekend against overproducing clean-energy products such as solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles (EVs) in the race to slow climate change.

During a trip to China, Yellen said the country’s unfair trade practices — dumping artificially cheap products on global markets — were a threat to US businesses and jobs. Washington is considering imposing higher tariffs and closing trade loopholes if Beijing maintains its existing policy.

Chinese firms can often undercut their Western counterparts for many reasons, including cheaper labor and economies of scale. But they also benefit from very generous state incentives, which help to make foreign rivals uncompetitive.

Foreign interference: Who knew what when? You’ll have to wait until the inquiry’s final report

Given an impossibly short deadline to complete the initial report of the public inquiry on foreign interference in federal elections – just two weeks from the close of hearings to publication – Justice Marie-Josée Hogue has elected to punt on some of the key questions she was expected to address until her final report at the end of the year.

That, at least, must be the hope. This first instalment is, perhaps understandably, largely a “what we heard” exercise, summarizing the evidence while for the most part withholding judgment on what it all means.

Some 2019 candidates ‘appeared willing’ to engage with foreign interference: Hogue inquiry

A handful of candidates in Canada’s 2019 federal election “appeared willing” to go along with foreign interference schemes, a federal public inquiry has found.

Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue’s preliminary report, released Friday, concluded that while hostile states attempted to covertly influence the 2019 and 2021 general elections, those efforts did not change which party took power.

Foreign interference a ‘stain’ on Canada’s electoral system, Hogue inquiry concludes

Foreign interference in 2019 and 2021 undermined the right of Canadian voters to have an electoral system “free from coercion or covert influence” and may have affected results in a small number of ridings, a public inquiry has concluded in the first of two reports.

While foreign meddling did not alter the overall outcome of those elections, Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue, a justice of the Quebec Court of Appeal, issued a call to action Friday for the government to vigorously enact measures to tackle this “malign” threat to Canadian democracy.
