Personnel from China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) were reportedly given permission to attend an international “military sciences” conference in October 2021 hosted by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) at Canada’s largest military college in Kingston, Ont.

The Chinese military sent a request to the Royal Military College (RMC) in late September 2021 asking if some of its personnel could virtually attend the meeting, according to the National Post.
