Chinese giant Huawei was able to eavesdrop on ANY conversation on Dutch mobile network and knew which numbers were tapped by police or intelligence agencies

Chinese communications giant Huawei was able to eavesdrop on any conversation taking place on one of the biggest mobile networks in the Netherlands.

Hauwei staff were able to monitor all of KPN’s mobile users and eavesdrop on their private conversations – and even knew which numbers were tapped by police or intelligence agencies, according to Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant.

The newspaper cited a report prepared by consultancy firm Capgemini for KPN, which it said flagged that Huawei could have been accessing users’ calls in 2010 without KPN knowing.

Trudeau government threatens Halifax Security Forum over proposed Taiwan award

HFX wanted to honor Taiwan’s president with the prestigious John McCain award. But Canada feared poking the Chinese bear.

The organizers of one of the world’s most prestigious defense gatherings are in the midst of an uncomfortable international standoff between the Canadian government and China over a major award they had planned to give to the president of Taiwan.

The standstill, which is ongoing and has not been previously reported, has created tension between the Halifax International Security Forum and the Canadian government, which is a major sponsor of the forum.

China Syndrome: Workers at Kingston baby formula plant claim harassment by managers

Employees at the Canada Royal Milk plant in Kingston, Ont., say management treated them like “minions” by denying them safety gear that fit, harassing employees by accusing them of being “overpaid” and less industrious than workers in China and — in one instance — making physical contact with a worker during a heated dispute.

Efforts to organize and certify a union with the United Food and Commercial Workers have been tied up in arbitration for the past year, while employee turnover at the plant in its early months of operations was constant.

Why are we allowing communists to set up shop in Canada?

Trudeau defends his lame effort to ban Chinese goods made with forced labour

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending his government’s record in barring imports of goods from China made with forced labour even though online retailers are still selling Canadians goods from the Asian country’s western Xinjiang region that critics say are almost certainly produced under coercion.

As The Globe and Mail reported this week, Canadians can purchase bath towels, quilts and clothes through online retailers such as Amazon and eBay that are advertised as made with cotton from China’s Xinjiang region, a crop that human-rights activists and academics say should be assumed to be the product of forced labour.

Everything Trudeau does is for show only, rest assured Canada’s China class dictates LPC policy. This is the usual huffing and puffing signifying nothing.

Tam criticized for supporting ‘indefensible’ assessment of COVID-19 risk

An expert who worked on the Auditor-General’s report that criticized Canada’s lack of preparation for COVID-19 says the government’s risk assessments were “an utter failure” and cannot be defended.

Wesley Wark, an adjunct professor at the University of Ottawa who analyzed the risk assessments during the onset of the outbreak, said Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam’s remarks last week that sought to justify those assessments are “defending the indefensible.”

Tam is China’s puppet.

Chinese diplomat cranks up rhetoric with insults against ‘running dog’ ‘boy’ Justin Trudeau

A Chinese diplomat called Justin Trudeau “boy” in a sneering attack on the Canadian prime minister that comes as Beijing sees fresh signs of success in its ongoing shift to confrontational diplomacy — particularly against countries it sees as weaker.

“Boy, your greatest achievement is to have ruined the friendly relations between China and Canada, and have turned Canada into a running dog of the U.S.,” Li Yang, China’s consul general to Rio de Janeiro, wrote this weekend in a Tweet accompanying a picture of Mr. Trudeau.

Personally I suspect most heads of state think of Justin as an airhead.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s condemnation of China a long time coming

It’s good that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is finally moving away from his government’s previous policy of appeasing China’s communist dictators.

But what took him so long?

Canada’s China Class was made rich at our expense through their treachery.

They are well connected and influential within our northern Banana Republic.

They don’t want the spigot turned off. That’s why.

Outraged by Uighur genocide, Europe picks a fight with China. And loses

A desire for business as normal with Beijing is coming up hard against the ugly reality of Xi’s swaggering authoritarianism

… Outraged by tweets from Lu Shaye, China’s “wolf warrior” ambassador in Paris, in which he described a respected French academic as a “crazed hyena” and “small-time hoodlum”, Clément Beaune, France’s Europe minister, summoned the wayward diplomat for a customary dressing-down.

Imagine his horror when Lu, ignoring protocol, said he was too busy to come. The French were aghast. “This is not how things are done,” Beaune spluttered. “Neither France nor Europe is a doormat.”

Yet this increasingly appears to be how Xi Jinping, China’s bullish president, and the Communist party view the EU. Or if not exactly a doormat, then a decidedly second-rate, fractious power bloc whose business and goodwill are dispensable.

If Meng were not held Justin would be lecturing us on the need to respect China.

Even now he refuses to say the word “genocide.”

Our political, corporate and academic classes have done well in the thrall of Beijing.

A return to business as usual with China’s tyrannical regime is the goal of the West’s China class.

China announces sanctions on Canadians, including MP Michael Chong

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

China on Saturday announced sanctions on individuals and entities in Canada and the United States in response to sanctions imposed on Chinese citizens and groups over conditions in Xinjiang.

China sanctioned MP Michael Chong, who is also the Conservative Party’s foreign affairs critic. Sanctions were also placed on the House of Commons subcommittee on international human rights, which concluded in October that China’s treatment of its Uyghur population amounts to genocide.

“The individuals concerned are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao of China, and Chinese citizens and institutions are prohibited from doing business with the relevant individuals and having exchanges with the relevant entity,” the ministry wrote.

Public Health Agency of Canada President Refused to Explain to MPs of Committee on Canada-China Relations Why Scientists Were Fired From Winnipeg Lab

The head of the Public Health Agency of Canada refused to explain to a House of Commons committee the specific reasons why a prominent Chinese Canadian scientist and her husband were fired by the country’s top laboratory after a police investigation.

PHAC president Iain Stewart was grilled by the Committee on Canada-China Relations on March 22 about the termination of the two biologists from their employment at the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, Canada’s highest-security Level 4 laboratory, back in 2019.

PHAC president given until Friday to explain why two scientists let go

The president of the Public Health Agency of Canada has been given until the end of the week to explain why two Canadian government scientists were let go 18 months after being escorted from Canada’s only Level 4 laboratory.

Iain Stewart came under fire Monday from opposition MPs after he repeatedly refused to explain why PHAC terminated the employment of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, in January.

Stewart told the special committee on Canada-China relations that he could not provide details due to privacy issues and “security with respect to the investigation” still being conducted by the RCMP.

The Price China Never Paid for its ‘Hostage Diplomacy’

After Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition request on Dec. 1, 2018, Beijing warned Canada of “serious consequences” if she wasn’t freed. It carried through with its threat a few days later, when it detained Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. After that, the regime blocked Canadian agricultural imports to China.

Ottawa has adopted stronger language of late over the arrest of the two Canadians, in contrast to its earlier, noticeably softer tone, which typically praised China for the economic benefit it presents before calling out the regime’s hostilities.

Canada’s China Class At Work: Trudeau bet on China over Canada at height of pandemic

I’d like to call myself an optimist, but maybe I’m actually a fool for believing that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government will ever change when it comes to dealing with China.

They’ve made some steps over the past week or so rallying international support to condemn the mock trials of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, but I still have lingering doubts that they’re truly going to change.

We were betrayed by Canada’s China class. It is my hope that they one day be regarded in the same light as those who collaborated with Hitler.

Canadian Michael Kovrig awaits verdict after trial in China

Closed-door hearing takes place days after trial of another Canadian, with diplomats barred from attending

The trial of a Canadian man detained for more than two years in China on espionage charges has taken place, with relations between Ottawa and Beijing in freefall.

The hearing in the case of Michael Kovrig came days after the closed-door trial of another Canadian man, with both detained in apparent retaliation for Canada’s arrest of the Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou under a US extradition warrant.

Kovrig, a former diplomat, was detained in 2018 and formally charged last June with allegedly spying at the same time as his compatriot, the businessman Michael Spavor.

Our China class will write this off as an unfortunate incident. So long as the money flows from Beijing all is well.

Kovrig, Spavor Scheduled to Stand Trial in China in Coming Days

Canada’s embassy in Beijing has been notified that court hearings for Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig have been scheduled for March 19 and 22 respectively, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau said in a statement on March 17.

Garneau said that Canadian officials are “seeking continued consular access” to the two Canadians and that no further information can be provided due to privacy concerns.

So far President 10% hasn’t been much help to his BFF Justin, our China class must be getting antsy.

Trudeau Government Funds Toronto Based Communist China Mouthpiece

Canadian group echoes China’s party line on Uyghurs after getting $160,000 in public funds

A Toronto-based community group that has received more than $160,000 in federal funding has again issued a statement echoing China’s official line on a contentious issue, this time condemning Parliament’s recent Uyghur-genocide motion.

A prominent Canadian advocate for the Uyghur people noted that his own group has sought for years to obtain Ottawa’s financial help, with no success.

Canada’s China class at work.
