China blurs the line between private companies and state-owned enterprises, with China-based corporations assisting in advancing the regime’s strategic objectives, a senior intelligence official told MPs.

Nicole Giles, senior assistant deputy minister at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) made the comments while appearing before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy, and Ethics, which is studying disinformation targeting parliamentarians.
