Eleven parliamentarians from different parties have united in calling on cabinet ministers to investigate why visa waivers were issued to nearly 300 Hong Kong police to attend a sporting event in Winnipeg.
Members of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) attended the World Police and Fire Games (WPFG) in Winnipeg that ran from July 28 to Aug. 6, despite protests from local Hong Kong communities.
Many local authors are currently producing hard-hitting books about China’s sway on Canada and the world.
As Ottawa finally debates launching an inquiry into China’s interference in Canadian elections, three Vancouver-based journalists have been at the forefront of getting Canadians and others up to speed on the global impact of China’s increasingly authoritarian leaders.
An organization representing retired Canadian spies says a public inquiry into Beijing foreign-interference operations must be given access to all cabinet documents and transcripts of discussions to determine whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was ever informed of China’s attempts to meddle in the 2019 and 2021 elections.
The Pillar Society, which represents retired Canadian Security Intelligence Service officers and former members of the RCMP Security Service, has joined calls for a public inquiry and expressed concern that further delay could end up scuttling one.
Even as the Trudeau government had its “special rapporteur,” David Johnston, supposedly investigating foreing interference in Canada’s electoral process, China was harassing MP Michael Chong.
This is incredible and demonstrates how little China cares about any repercussions of its surveillance, interference, spying, and intimidation of Canadians who dare to question Beijing’s dictatorial and genocidal policies.
A China-born US Navy sailor accused of selling sensitive ship information to the Chinese government was denied bail on Tuesday after prosecutors said his mother encouraged him to participate in the scheme.
Jinchao Wei, 22, faces four charges in San Diego federal court related to his alleged deal with an unnamed Chinese military intelligence officer to provide “documents, sketches, plans, notes and information” in exchange for cold, hard cash.
Global Affairs Canada (GAC) says it has detected an “information operation” targeting Conservative MP Michael Chong and it is “highly probable” — but not conclusive — that came from China.
I bet it came from the PMO.
Multiple candidates to oversee foreign interference inquiry have rejected the job: sources
OTTAWA — The Liberal government is having trouble finding a potential commissioner to oversee a possible public inquiry into foreign interference, with at least half a dozen current or retired judges having declined the offer, multiple sources have confirmed to the National Post.
China is behind many money-laundering transactions and other fraudulent financial activity in Canada, according to a July report from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).
The report identified students, homemakers, lawyers, and business owners as some of the occupations involved in receiving funds from China.
Threats of legal action have recently been made targeting journalists who are focused on exposing foreign interference by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Canada
In June, Sen. Victor Oh proposed to create a national Chinese foundation to collect donations for launching lawsuits “against those unreasonable journalists, news outlets, and politicians who slander and defame Chinese people.”
The 12 apartments above a sporting goods shop in Vancouver appear unremarkable, blending in with thousands of others in the beachfront Kitsilano neighbourhood.
But the building’s bland, beige exterior hides a dark secret.
Authorities say the apartments are a key part of a money laundering operation run by Paul King Jin, an alleged member of a Chinese organized crime group, and a self-described loan shark.
In the fall of 2020, the National Security Agency made an alarming discovery: Chinese military hackers had compromised classified defense networks of the United States’ most important strategic ally in East Asia. Cyberspies from the People’s Liberation Army had wormed their way into Japan’s most sensitive computer systems.
The hackers had deep, persistent access and appeared to be after anything they could get their hands on — plans, capabilities, assessments of military shortcomings, according to three former senior U.S. officials, who were among a dozen current and former U.S. and Japanese officials interviewed, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
For all four years of Trump’s presidency, the Democrat establishment never let up: “Russia! Russia! Russia!”—as if a corrupt country with a dying population and a minimal industrial base was a threat to us. (The Dems never minded the very powerful Soviet Union.) Donald Trump tried very hard to get America to focus on the real risk, which is China. All the Chinese stories in the news of late show he was correct…and a new one has just been added to the list, which involves Chinese citizens (foot soldiers?) being smuggled into America.
Will the next race riots be Made in China?
Remember how Russia supposedly elected Trump using only the television ad budget of a failed congressional race in Amish country?
The Senate intelligence report actually found that “most of the videos” put up by Moscow “pertained to police brutality and the activist efforts of the Black Lives Matter organization”.
America has fewer icebreakers than China or Russia. Does that leave us vulnerable?
As melting ice opens up trade routes in the Arctic Ocean, the Far North is becoming another geopolitical battlefield between the United States and its adversaries. The U.S. Coast Guard has fewer ships able to puncture through the frozen sea than China or Russia, and some writers fear that America’s Arctic interests are becoming vulnerable to authoritarian expansion. Washington might end up like a nervous boy on a first date — unable to break the ice.
“Both Putin and Xi have made clear,” Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said, “that the High North is key to their strategic interests.” Indeed, Wall Street Journal reporters William Mauldin and Alan Cullison have highlighted the authoritarians’ Arctic activity, including Russia’s increased presence in the region and Beijing’s use of its intelligence network to back Moscow’s activities in the area.
Interesting that these articles from the Spectator & the WSJ mention Canada only in passing.
Another day, another revelation that the People’s Republic of China is engaged in political warfare against the West.
Last week, Canada arrested and charged a former officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, William Majcher, for aiding “the Chinese government’s efforts to identify and intimidate an individual outside the scope of Canadian law.” Worse, it appears that Mr. Majcher did not act alone, as he was granted bail “on conditions that include not communicating with another former Mountie with whom he is alleged to have conspired.”
