State-owned Chinese mining company Shandong Gold’s proposed takeover of a fledgling gold mine perched at the fringe of the North American continent poses risks for Canada on economic and national security fronts, says a former contractor for the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS).
“I share the grave concern of a growing number of Canadians galvanized by the continuing and extensive involvement of the Chinese dictatorship in our economic lives, particularly in the post-COVID world,” says David Harris, director of the intelligence program at INSIGNIS Strategic Research in Ottawa.
