While Canada and Australia have received similar intelligence that China is interfering at all levels of government, a new study says Canberra took action while Canadian political leaders “did not act” and allowed the interference to flourish.
“In Ottawa, intelligence agencies reportedly found in 2017 that the CCP was interfering at ‘all levels of government’. In contrast with Australia, however, Canada’s political leaders did not act, and the problem of CCP interference continued to grow,” says a report compiled by China analysts John Garnaut, Matthew Johnson, Prudence Luttrell, and an anonymized researcher.
