China jails top Uyghur scholar for life after secret trial

A prominent Uyghur academic who was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge has been sentenced to life in prison amid China’s crackdown on the ethnic muslim minority.

Rahile Dawut is a world-renowned scholar of Uyghur studies, having appeared at some of the world’s most prestigious universities to discuss Uyghur folklore and cultural traditions.


It’s important to remember that Justin Trudeau rushed to “normalize relations” with the Communist Chinese slave state after our own hostages were freed.

The CSIS leaks were undertaken to derail the sniveling little prick’s goal.

Is it any wonder Trudeau launched his own efforts to criminalize dissent in Canada?

China is his admired dictatoriship for a reason.

When someone tells you who they are believe them.

Trudeau Government Unresponsive to Taiwan’s Offer to Help With Beijing Interference, Committee Hears

The Canadian government has so far not responded to Taiwan’s invitation to share its experience battling Beijing’s information and interference activities, Taiwan’s de facto ambassador to Canada, Ho-Jen Tseng, told a House of Commons committee.

“No, we haven’t got a response from the Canadian side yet,” Mr. Tseng said during his testimony before the House of Commons National Defence Committee on Sept. 21.

Foreign Interference: RCMP investigate death of B.C. man targeted by China

The RCMP is investigating the death of a B.C. man who was a target of Operation Fox Hunt, a Chinese government campaign to pressure expatriates and silence opponents.

Wei Hu, a 57-year-old father of three, lived in a gated $2.8-million property on B.C.’s Harrison Lake. According to a friend, he was a critic of Beijing who left China in 2000.

But even in Canada, he could not escape the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which issued a so-called Red Notice through Interpol seeking his arrest and return to China for supposed financial crimes.


Offed in 2021? The RCMP is only just getting round to this?

No stink will be raised about this of course.

The CSIS leaks happened because Justin wanted to normalize relations with his ChiCom friends.

Trudeau is a danger to our nation’s security.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Trudeau, China have most to gain from India tensions

The House of Commons is back — and with it, a crisis no one saw coming. On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that “Over the past number of weeks, Canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar.” Trudeau then intoned, “Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty.”

It sounds like Trudeau is working for China to me.

China’s Communist Party Infiltrates American K-12 Schools

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has, or has had, ties to 143 school districts in the United States, including 20 near military bases, through its “Confucius Classrooms,” according to a recent report, “Little Red Classrooms: China’s Infiltration of American K-12 Schools” by Parents Defending Education (PDE), a grassroots organization.

Confucius Classrooms, are, purportedly, “centers that teach Chinese language and culture.”

Is That a Spy in Your Car?

America is already beholden to China for antibiotics, lithium batteries, and 5G equipment. Now they are cornering the market on an important technology used in self-driving vehicles.

You know what the Chinese government does really well? Spy.

Last year, a human rights group reported that the Chinese government had set up 100 secret “police stations”—seven of them in the U.S.—to spy on Chinese nationals. At the recently concluded G20 summit in New Delhi, the Chinese delegation refused to put some strangely shaped luggage through the hotel scanner. A hotel employee later reported that he saw “suspicious equipment” in one of the open suitcases. And just a few weeks ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese nationals, posing as tourists, have made some 100 attempts to gain access to U.S. military bases in recent years—including into a missile range in New Mexico. Chinese scuba divers have also been spotted swimming near a rocket launch site in Florida. Military investigators call them “gate-crashers.”

In Risky Hunt for Secrets, U.S. and China Expand Global Spy Operations

As China’s spy balloon drifted across the continental United States in February, American intelligence agencies learned that President Xi Jinping of China had become enraged with senior Chinese military generals.

The spy agencies had been trying to understand what Mr. Xi knew and what actions he would take as the balloon, originally aimed at U.S. military bases in Guam and Hawaii, was blown off course.

Mr. Xi was not opposed to risky spying operations against the United States, but American intelligence agencies concluded that the People’s Liberation Army had kept Mr. Xi in the dark until the balloon was over the United States.

China’s ‘CEO Whisperers’: Chinese Communist Party Takes Over Canada

 

“When I look… at the subtle but intense influence of China on Canadian institutions — parliaments, provincial governments, local governments, universities, the intellectual community, the policy community — it makes me deadly worried,” said Australian professor Clive Hamilton, author of Hidden Hand: Exposing How the Chinese Communist Party is Reshaping the World (co-authored by Mareike Ohlberg), speaking to Canada’s National Post in 2019. “I’ve met some very well-informed Canadians who aren’t sure Canada will be able to extricate itself from this situation.”

Missing Chinese defense chief signals turmoil in Xi’s government

The United States believes Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu has been placed under investigation and relieved of his command, reports said Friday, in what could be the latest sign of turmoil in Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s government, just over six months after he installed a collection of loyalist leaders in his Cabinet.

Three U.S. officials and two people briefed on intelligence surrounding Li told the Financial Times that Washington has concluded that the defense chief, who took up his post in March, had been stripped of his responsibilities. They did not offer further insights into the probe.

LETTER TO U.S. CONGRESS REGARDING CANADA, 9/14/23.

… As Americans we have a duty and obligation to provide our lawmakers with information that may reveal emerging threats and any unlawful activities, both domestic and foreign, against the U.S. government.

Our overall concern is that it appears the Canadian government is enacting policies that are slowing chipping away at the freedoms, liberties, and individual rights of its citizens and therefore can have profound negative impact on our relations with that government.

It is no secret that the Chinese Communist party is making its mark both here in the United States and Canada. But, more-so in Canada because the people of that nation do not have the Constitutional protections, we in America have.

China Taking Over While Europe Sleeps

Europe is in “complete denial” as China proceeds to spread its influence on the continent. At least that is the urgent, unequivocal view of Ivana Karásková, a Czech foreign influence specialist and a special adviser to European Commission Vice President Věra Jourová.

“In some countries, awareness of [Chinese influence operations] is high because they have a history of Russian-backed action. Elsewhere, it’s complete denial,” she told Politico. “It’s very uneven in terms of awareness. There are some countries where the discussion isn’t happening at all.”

Terry Glavin: Chong lauded by U.S. lawmakers while a scolded Trudeau has wings clipped

It made for quite the study in contrasts.

Conservative MP Michael Chong was applauded by a bipartisan committee of U.S. lawmakers in Washington, D.C., this week for standing up for China’s persecuted Uyghurs and for shining a light on Beijing’s concerted strategy of harassment, intimidation, influence-peddling and political interference in Canada.

Michael Taube: After the Latest Michael Chong Revelations, Will Ottawa Take Action Against Beijing?

There’s a new revelation in Conservative MP Michael Chong’s ongoing saga with China. Maybe it will finally lead the federal government to take action against this communist regime.

In early May, Globe and Mail investigative journalists Robert Fife and Steven Chase published contents of an eyebrow-raising July 20, 2021, Canadian Security Intelligence Service report. It revealed that Canada was regarded as a “high-priority target” by China, which had used “incentives and punishment” to gain an advantage that was “expected to continue and increase over time.” CSIS also mentioned that a Ministry of State Security officer had attempted to obtain information about an MP’s relatives “who may be located in the PRC, for further potential sanctions.” This strategy was “almost certainly meant to make an example of this MP and deter others from taking anti-PRC positions.”

Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong, a repeated target of Chinese government intimidation, told U.S. congressional hearings Tuesday that Ottawa and Washington need a co-ordinated response to Beijing’s concerted efforts to interfere in Western democracies and bullying of diaspora communities.

Mr. Chong received a rare invitation to speak to the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, an 18-member panel of Senators and House of Representatives that monitors human abuses in China and is examining Beijing’s global repression campaign.
