A Vancouver property developer who contributed to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s campaign is wanted for corruption by the Chinese regime.
On April 27, the regime’s anti-corruption agency released the names, identification details, and alleged addresses of 22 former officials who are economic fugitives, including one Cheng Muyang.
Cheng had business interests in Beijing and Hong Kong, and is accused of embezzlement and “concealment of illegal gains,” according to state mouthpiece China Daily. He is listed as having fled China for New Zealand in 2000 and is now supposedly residing in Vancouver. China and Interpol have been calling for the arrest of Cheng since 2015.
Cheng was found in recent years to be involved in Canadian federal politics, having donated to Canada’s Conservative Party and Liberal Party.
He is also the son of Cheng Weigao, a disgraced provincial leader. The elder Cheng is a good friend of Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese Communist Party leader who allowed malfeasance to flourish during his nearly two decade-long grip on power.
Political Donor
Cheng Muyang, 47, owns a real estate company in Canada under the name Michael Ching Mo Yeung, according to a 2015 exposé of the connections between Cheng and the Liberal Party of Canada by South China Morning Post, a daily newspaper in Hong Kong.
