Chinese police establish stations in Canada in ‘worrying’ crackdown on citizens abroad

On the evening of Feb. 7, a Chinese woman studying in Canada called a police hotline in a panic.

“Hello, is this the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau? I’ve been scammed,” the woman, surnamed Wang, told the operator. She described how she had been defrauded of about $400 by someone calling themselves a “love-life mentor.”

In Fuzhou, the capital of southeast China’s Fujian province, police tracked the fraudster to the city’s Taijiang district. The man, surnamed Lin, eventually confessed to scamming nine victims out of more than $3,700.

3 in the GTA? Shouldn’t they be shut down? Let’s ask Xi’s lickspittle Trudeau.

Trudeau Commends Event Organized by Group Whose Chinese Affiliate Said Aims to ‘Spread the Voice’ of CCP

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth against China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

A democracy advocate is warning about the Chinese regime’s covert “cultural infiltration” after multiple Canadian politicians lent support to the opening celebration of a new Chinese library that’s part of a China-based project whose founder had said aims to “spread the voice” of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The new B.C. library was unveiled during a Sept. 10 “Night of the Mid-Autumn Festival” event held at a winery in Richmond, just south of Vancouver, which was celebrated by a number of federal, provincial, and municipal politicians and reported on by various Chinese state media.

Adam Zivo: How China’s propagandists bamboozled Canada’s media

Last week, it was widely reported in the Canadian media that dozens of Chinese-Canadian organizations had come together to condemn an upcoming parliamentary trade mission to Taiwan. However, what was missed at the time was that the organizations in question were actually members of China’s “United Front” network, which is tasked with influencing foreign societies to Beijing’s benefit.

Careful, you’ll anger Canada’s 5th Columnist China class. Right Justin?

Dozens of Fifth Columnist Communist Chinese “Canadian” groups side with Beijing’s stance on Taiwan

When a group of Canadian parliamentarians recently announced plans to visit Taiwan, Beijing‘s response was swift, with its Ottawa embassy vowing “resolute and forceful measures” against any country interfering in China’s territorial integrity.

Beijing’s Foreign Ministry had earlier summoned Canadian diplomat Jim Nickel over a G7 statement that called on China to peacefully resolve tensions surrounding U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taiwan, telling Nickel the statement was helping “a villain do evil.”

Chinese Canadian ‘Leaders’ Spread Disinformation about Taiwan on TV

Two prominent Chinese Canadians, including one on a B.C. government Advisory Council, have appeared on a partially China-owned television station telling Chinese viewers that Canada recognizes Taiwan is part of China, a false statement.

The statements also suggest that Canadian government’s actions might lead to war with China if Canada doesn’t tow the Beijing line on the Taiwan issue, an extrapolation of threats of “forceful measures’ by Beijing against Canada if a group of lawmakers visit Taiwan.

Ottawa has continued its mysterious deference to China. What happened to the promised ‘reset’?

As we mark the six-month anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s assault on Ukraine and on world order, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the creation of a special team in Canada to counter the Kremlin’s raging disinformation campaign.

There is a real need to address this threat to the concept of truth, which is the basis of democracy and human rights. But why limit the team’s mandate to the lies of just one offender? This essentially tells China that Ottawa will not be responding to the more richly funded propaganda scheme being run out of Chinese embassies and consulates across Canada.

Becuz LPC Luv Xi Long Time.

Adam Zivo: Justin Trudeau’s reprehensible jab at pro-Taiwanese diplomacy

Last Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during a news conference that his government will ensure that Canadian parliamentarians planning to visit Taiwan as part of an upcoming trade mission “reflect” on the “consequences” of their visit. Trudeau’s euphemistic jab at pro-Taiwanese diplomacy was reprehensible, undermining the independence of Canada’s parliamentary associations and tacitly validating China’s threat this week to punish Canadians should the visit occur.

China Is Weaponizing Chinese Worldwide to Support the CCP

“Promoting the great unity of the Chinese people is the historic responsibility of China’s patriotic united front work in the new era,” said Chinese ruler Xi Jinping at the end of last month to Communist Party cadres in Beijing. “To do the job well, we must… truly unite all Chinese people in different parties, nationalities, classes, groups, and with different beliefs, and those who are living under different social systems.”

“Different social systems” is Party lingo for “other countries.”

China has encroached on Canada’s critical minerals industry, with almost no obstruction from Ottawa

For the past two decades, China has built up a powerful position in Canada’s critical minerals and mining sector, with little oversight from Ottawa

Three years ago, Sinomine Resource Group Co., a Chinese company, quietly bought the Tanco mine in Manitoba. At the time, Tanco was one of the world’s few sources of the critical mineral cesium, a key input in atomic clocks and radiation detectors. The mine had previously produced lithium, a battery metal used in electric cars.

Even though Tanco was owned by an American chemicals company, Cabot Corp., Canada’s federal government had the authority to block the acquisition on national security grounds. But far from blocking the deal, Ottawa appears not to have given it a second glance.

Earlier this year, under its new Chinese ownership, the Tanco mine started producing lithium and shipping it back to China, where it is fed into the country’s massive domestic electric car industry. Tanco is now the only operating lithium mine in Canada, and Sinomine has plans to expand production over the next few years.

Canada Sent Nipah Virus to Wuhan; Lab Conducts ‘Most Dangerous Research’ on Nipah, Scientist Testifies to US Senate

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

An American scientist recently testified at a U.S. Senate hearing that his research provides evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology has conducted synthetic biology research of the deadly Nipah virus.

“The Nipah virus is a smaller virus than SARS2 [virus causing COVID-19] and is much less transmissible. But it is one of the deadliest viruses, with a greater-than-60 percent lethality. This is 60-times deadlier than SARS2,” Dr. Steven Quay, a Seattle-based physician-scientist, told a Senate subcommittee at a hearing on Aug. 3

Douglas Todd: Why China’s woes matter to Canada

Opinion: China’s economic problems and tough COVID measures have more Chinese people longing for Canada

China is in turmoil. The once-roaring housing market of the world’s second-largest economy is collapsing.

The regime’s harsh zero-COVID restrictions are causing bitterness and anger.

Beijing’s stepped-up quest for “common prosperity” has many worried their savings and assets aren’t being treated as actually theirs — and could be confiscated by Communist party rulers in the name of equality.

More people, especially the rich, want to escape.

And this is a good thing why?

Federally funded Canadian group used by China to spread propaganda on Uyghurs: report

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

Two Canadian community organizations — one of which has received thousands of dollars in federal funding — are prime examples of how the Chinese government has tried to covertly shape opinions worldwide about human rights abuses in Xinjiang province, says a new report by Australian academics.

NBA player calls out Trudeau for Canada’s inaction on Uighur ‘genocide’

NBA star and human rights campaigner Enes Kanter Freedom says he is frustrated with what he calls a lacklustre response from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to his calls for more action to help Uighur Muslims in China.

The basketball player, who is currently a free agent after being cut by the Houston Rockets earlier year, said he wrote to Trudeau last month to encourage the Liberal government to take a harder line on China at a time when the country is allegedly committing a genocide against a Turkic minority in the country’s Xinjiang province.

Unclear whether Canada will participate in G7 plan to counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative

OTTAWA – It remains unclear whether Canada will participate in a new US$600-billion project from the G7 being set up as a western counterbalance China’s massive Belt and Road Initiative economic power play.

U.S. President Joe Biden and other G7 leaders officially launched the newly renamed Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment at their annual gathering over the weekend in Germany, pledging US$600 billion in investment for the plan. It is being positioned as an alternative to China’s sprawling Belt and Road Initiative, which has used Beijing’s economic might to extend its influence around Africa, Asia and Europe.

China may have tried to discourage Canadians from voting Conservative: federal unit

 

OTTAWA – A federal research unit detected what might be a Chinese Communist Party information operation that aimed to discourage Canadians of Chinese heritage from voting for the Conservatives in the last federal election.

The Sept. 13, 2021, analysis by Rapid Response Mechanism Canada, which tracks foreign interference, says researchers observed Communist Party media accounts on Chinese social media platform Douyin widely sharing a narrative that the Conservatives would all but sever diplomatic relations with Beijing.

The report, obtained by The Canadian Press through the Access to Information Act, was prepared just a week before Canadians went to the polls.
