A Toronto Chinese-Canadian group that recently received over $160,000 in federal funding has been working as communist China’s mouthpiece, denouncing a parliamentary motion against Beijing’s abuse of Uyghur minorities in Xinjiang.

The National Post first reported the statement released last week by the Council of Newcomer Organizations (CONCO), which condemned a House of Commons motion passed unanimously last month that designates the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) treatment of Uyghurs and other ethnic Muslims as a genocide.
