How China Threatens the Midterms

A pro-China online network is attempting to undermine voter confidence ahead of the midterms in one of several disinformation campaigns targeting the United States, cybersecurity firm Mandiant said on Wednesday.

Researchers at the Google subsidiary said the campaign by “Dragonbridge,” a known information operation with alleged links to Beijing, may signal China’s official entry into U.S. election interference. However, it hasn’t been very effective.

Dubious online accounts have been pushing narratives including a claim that APT41, a hacking group with alleged ties to China’s Ministry of State Security, is backed by the U.S. government, Mandiant said. Others allege U.S. involvement in the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions.

Hmmm … I am not convinced the US Deep State didn’t destroy the Nord Stream Pipelines. It’s a fact they conspired to bring down a legitimately elected President making them capable of any crime no matter how heinous in my view.

RCMP investigating Chinese ‘police’ stations in Canada

The RCMP says it’s investigating Chinese “police” stations in Canada.

This comes after the Spain-based human rights group Safeguard Defenders reported that more than 50 exist worldwide, including three in the Greater Toronto Area in predominantly Chinese communities.

They include a residential home and single-storey commercial building in Markham and a convenience store in Scarborough.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan is coming

The recent Communist Party congress and other signs show Xi is preparing for war

This October, at the Twentieth National Party Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Xi Jinping was elected to a third term as chairman. “The New Mao” — so has rung the common refrain.
It’s an entirely accurate assessment. The very existence of the two-term-limit precedent that Xi has now broken was set in place by Mao’s successor, Deng Xiaoping, in 1982. The reasoning behind the term limit was to prevent the cult-of-personality chaos that Mao and his sycophants had whipped up during his untrammeled, ruler-for-life tenure at the helm of the Chinese state. Deng wanted to make China rich enough so its citizens wouldn’t care that they were not free. To do that, he needed law and order, not proto-woke Red Guards beating up middle school teachers.

Chinese Officers Used ‘Fake’ Think Tank To Recruit Agents In America, DOJ Alleges

The Department of Justice unveiled allegations against Chinese nationals, including three intelligence officers working for China’s state security agency, of using a fake think tank to recruit espionage agents in the U.S. on Monday.

The indictment accuses Wang Lin and three others of a “wide-ranging and systematic effort” to recruit U.S. citizens, including professors at U.S. universities and a former federal law enforcement and state homeland security official, as well as others, to conduct espionage activities on behalf of the Chinese government’s Ministry of State Security (MSS). For at least a decade, the individuals used the Institute for International Studies (IIS) at the Ocean University of China, which Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco described as a “fake think tank,” as a front for their intelligence operations.

Politburo Standing Committee: Who are the men that rule China now?

The Chinese Communist Party has finally unveiled the men who will rule China for the next five years.

The Politburo Standing Committee is China’s equivalent of the presidential cabinet.

It is considered the elite of the elite within the party, and getting to the top often requires not only a stellar political track record, but also deft manoeuvring of internal rivalries.

It is not unusual to see big reshuffles of the Standing Committee after a term ends, and this time it is no different.

McKinsey still can’t shake Dominic Barton’s reign of error … or Canada’s China Class at work

Justin Trudeau and Dominic Barton – Canada’s China class

…. Mr. Barton, who served as Canada’s ambassador to China until late 2021, does not come off well in the book. Indeed, most of the scandals that have haunted McKinsey in recent years originated during his tenure – from its work advising Purdue Pharma on how to “turbocharge” OxyContin sales (for which it paid US$641-million last year to settle legal claims with several U.S. states) to the laying of criminal charges last month by South African authorities over McKinsey’s work for the country’s state-owned freight-rail operator.

Trudeau and Barton both enjoy the taste of Xi Jinping’s arse.

China, Vatican extend deal on bishop appointments

A 2018 arrangement aims to ease a longstanding divide between an underground flock loyal to the pope and a state-backed official church. Critics say it accommodates Beijing communist government.

China and the Vatican extended a secretive deal regarding the appointment of bishops in the communist country.

Under the agreement, which has never been made public, the Vatican and Beijing agreed jointly to appoint bishops but Pope Francis has the final say.

The deal was signed in September 2018 and is still provisional but has been renewed twice.

“The Vatican Party is committed to continuing a respectful and constructive dialogue with the Chinese Party for a productive implementation of the Accord and further development of bilateral relations, with a view to fostering the mission of the Catholic Church and the good of the Chinese people,” the Holy See Press Office said on Saturday.

Douglas Todd: Chinese travellers to Canada plunge. What does it mean?

They made Justin cry.

Three years ago, 55 jumbo jets from China were touching down at Vancouver International Airport every week.

Now there are only eight flights a week from the world’s most-populous country.

There has been an almost similar plunge in the proportion of Chinese nationals applying for Canada’s 10-year visas. A related decline means fewer people from China are seeking student visas, and showing relatively modest interest in permanent-residence status.

Hu Jintao: The mysterious exit of China’s former leader from party congress

Bad gas?

Footage of China’s former leader, Hu Jintao, being asked to leave the stage at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing during the Communist Party Congress is drawing global attention as people try to work out what has just happened.

There are a lot of questions and no answers so far from the Chinese government.

Mr Hu, 79, appeared reluctant to move. If that is the case, why?

China could invade Taiwan by end of the year, US warns

Military officials have indicated heightened alarm over Beijing’s intentions towards the island

America’s military must be ready to respond to a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan that could come before the end of this year, the head of the US Navy has said.

Admiral Michael Gilday, chief of US naval operations, was the latest senior US military official to indicate heightened alarm over Beijing’s intentions towards the island.

“So when we talk about the 2027 window in my mind, that has to be a 2022 window or potentially a 2023 window. I can’t rule that out. I don’t mean at all to be alarmist by saying that. It’s just that we can’t wish that away.”

Canada Begins Probe After UK Reports of Western Military Pilots Training Chinese Army

The Department of National Defence is looking into whether any former Canadian military pilots are involved in training the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China after the United Kingdom found some ex-pilots had accepted training roles in the Chinese military.

On Oct. 18, Britain’s Defence Ministry said it issued an intelligence alert to former and current military pilots, warning against Chinese headhunting programs aimed at recruiting pilots to train the PLA.

Once they find out Liberal Party members are profitably involved it’ll be swept under the rug.

China’s Surveillance State Pushes Deeper into Citizens’ Lives

SHANGHAI—In many parts of Xi Jinping’s China, state surveillance and Covid-19 controls begin the moment you step out the door in the morning.

The day might start with a government-mandated Covid test from workers in white hazmat suits. Without proof of a negative result, public spaces are off limits, including office buildings, grocery stores and parks.

Surveillance cameras keep watch over the city streets. In a cab on the way to work, the driver requires you to scan a QR code for a government database tracking people’s movements. Scan again when stopping by Starbucks for coffee and then again at the office.

Parliamentary Committee to Invite RCMP, CSIS to Testify on Reports of Chinese Police Stations in Toronto

MPs have voted to invite representatives from security agencies to testify at a House of Commons committee on reports of three unofficial Chinese police stations that are said to be established in Toronto. The vote comes as some countries are investigating reports of similar Chinese police services and their alleged use for coercing Chinese diasporas and overseas dissidents.
