NATO Espionage Case Once Again Reveals Canada’s Hybrid-Warfare Blind Spot

NATO Espionage Case Once Again Reveals Canada’s Hybrid-Warfare Blind Spot

The arrest of a Canadian intern accused of spying inside NATO’s senior military headquarters in Belgium reaches beyond one person or one failed security check. It shows how hostile states can combine espionage, criminal networks, technology, and trusted access to weaken an alliance without firing a shot.

Belgian prosecutors allege that the intern, who is of Chinese origin, conducted espionage for an unidentified third country while interning at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, known as SHAPE, in Mons, Belgium. They also accuse her of belonging to a criminal organization.

VANCOUVER — Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West called on British Columbia Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay Wednesday night to take an unverified allegation about one of her own caucus members to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and expel her from caucus, or else apologize to her — the first significant public intervention by an elected official into a purported leak that has moved through British Columbia political circles at speed since Tuesday evening.

Canadian Security Agencies Cleared China-linked NATO Suspect Vetting Despite a Court Finding of Fraud in Her CBSA Job Application

OTTAWA — The Canadian woman of Chinese origin held in Belgium on suspicion of spying inside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) military command for a third country, and of membership in a criminal organization, was vetted by CSIS and the RCMP and cleared for the posting — despite a finding by Canada’s public service watchdog that she committed fraud in a hiring competition run by the CBSA, CSIS’s sister agency inside the Public Safety Canada portfolio.

The Federal Court upheld that finding in a published judgment 11 months before she took up her post at allied command.

So called “Canadian” woman accused of spying at NATO on behalf of Carney’s security partner China worked for multiple Liberal government agencies

So called “Canadian” woman accused of spying at NATO on behalf of Carney’s security partner China worked for multiple Liberal government agencies

The Canadian woman recently arrested by Belgian authorities on suspicion of spying appears to have worked for multiple government agencies before her NATO internship.

A CBC News investigation has identified the woman as Biwei Zhang, a systems engineer with a background in economics whose online resume suggests she previously worked for the Canadian Space Agency and Statistics Canada.

Zhang’s public and professional profiles match the information Belgian prosecutors provided, which described the suspect as a “Canadian national of Chinese origin” who was an intern at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), the military headquarters of NATO in Mons, Belgium.


Carney will welcome her home and allow her to return to China.

The Spy Island Next Door

The Spy Island Next Door

The Cold War did not end in Cuba so much as change patrons, technologies, and uniforms. The enormous Soviet listening station at Lourdes was closed more than two decades ago, but the infrastructure, trained personnel, intelligence culture, and geographic advantages that made the island valuable to Moscow survived under the control of a communist dictatorship that has now placed Cuban territory and technical capabilities at the service of the People’s Republic of China.

Canada’s Chinese EV Quota Is 38% Full — And Tesla Took Most of It

Canada’s Chinese EV Quota Is 38% Full — And Tesla Took Most of It

Ottawa’s quota for Chinese-built electric vehicles has passed a milestone nobody in Ottawa was aiming for. Global Affairs Canada’s utilization report now shows 9,235 vehicles cleared into the country under the 24,500-unit first window that runs March 1 to August 31 — about 37.7% of the allocation, with 15,265 permits still on the table and roughly six weeks left on the clock.

Two months ago the number was 2,910. The acceleration is real. What’s more interesting is what’s inside it.

Here’s why China wanted Biden to win

The Communist leaders of China took a side in the elections of 2018 and 2020: They wanted Democrats to win.

A recently published intelligence assessment reported that during President Donald Trump’s first term, “The Chinese Communist Party’s policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the U.S. President [Trump] in an effort to reduce the U.S. President’s votes and make him resign or prevent his re-election.”

Socialist Spain Now ‘Gateway‘ for Chinese Vehicles Flooding Europe

Existing Chinese vehicle manufacturing plants in Spain have turned the country into a “gateway” for Chinese vehicles into Europe, local outlets stated.

The growing arrival and continued penetration of Chinese automakers in European Union markets is a now years-long phenomenon across the regional bloc. It is reportedly estimated Chinese brands represent a majority of the 27 new vehicle brands on sale in Spain and in other European countries, with Chinese vehicles accounting for nearly ten percent of all sales in Europe.

‘Forced labour’ rationale for Trump tariffs met with bewilderment

‘Forced labour’ rationale for Trump tariffs met with bewilderment

Donald Trump has once again inspired anger and confusion in US allies and trading partners as he imposed a wave of tariffs on more than 80 countries, replacing an expiring global duty introduced earlier this year.

The new measures effectively replace blanket 10% tariffs that Trump imposed in February. The US supreme court ruled many of those were illegal. The new levies come in at between 10% and 12.5% on countries including the UK, Mexico, Canada, Australia, India, China and the 27 countries that make up the EU.

Chinese EVs are a bundle of security risks in a metal box. Do we really want them?

Chinese EVs are a bundle of security risks in a metal box. Do we really want them?

A $25,000 electric vehicle sounds like exactly what Canadian consumers have been waiting for. But when that bargain comes from China, the real cost may have little to do with the sticker price.

Earlier this year, as part of the strategic partnership with China, Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed to allow up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) into the Canadian market at a favourable tariff rate. These EVs have just begun to arrive with prices between $25,000 to $35,000 – approximately half the current average cost for an EV in Canada. But before Canadian consumers get too excited or seek to jump behind the wheel of a freshly imported BYD or Dongfeng, they should understand why Canada had a prohibitive tariff rate on Chinese EVs prior to this year and what security risks the high-tech automobiles pose to both drivers and the country as a whole.

China’s Long Arm Is Reaching into Canada, And Ottawa Isn’t Ready

OTTAWA — China’s new Ethnic Unity Law should not be viewed in isolation, nor should it be dismissed as inapplicable to foreign nationals or Canadians. It is the latest addition to an increasingly sophisticated legal architecture through which Beijing seeks to extend its political authority beyond its borders. Officially titled the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress, the legislation was adopted by the National People’s Congress in March 2026 and entered into force on July 1, 2026.

Are Taxpayers Being Asked to Launder Canada’s ‘Vancouver Model’ Housing Bubble?

In this episode with Jason James, we revisit the Vancouver Model — the Chinese transnational money-laundering system that helped make Vancouver infamous around the world — and we connect that history to a live political question in Canada today.

Because this is not just a story about casinos, luxury homes, or offshore capital. It is a story about how dirty money, political weakness, and a captured real estate economy can combine to distort an entire country.

Government tip-off prompted spy agency to look into federal scientist, CSIS says

Government tip-off prompted spy agency to look into federal scientist, CSIS says

The country’s top spy agency says Natural Resources Canada approached it with concerns about former federal scientist Dennis Lu more than two decades ago, not the other way around — and has made a rare disclosure of one of its documents in court to set the record straight, CBC News has learned.

There are also new details about part of the reason for a 23-month delay between the last Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) briefing about Lu to his employer in February 2021 and the start of Natural Resources’ internal investigation into Lu in January 2023.
