In a recent episode of “American Thought Leaders,” host Jan Jekielek sits down with Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former Asia-Pacific bureau chief of Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Over two decades ago, Mr. Juneau-Katsuya authored a classified report, Sidewinder, which uncovered for the first time the depths of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) infiltration in the West and the workings of an “unholy trinity” of Chinese intelligence services, tycoons, and criminal triads. His discoveries form the basis of the book “The Mosaic Effect: How the Chinese Communist Party Started a Hybrid War in America’s Backyard.”
Jan Jekielek: Way before most people, you were aware of the Chinese Communist Party infiltration of North America. Before we go there, let’s talk about who you are and where you came from.
