The Chinese regime could be using China’s ethnic community in Canada to further exert influence and advance its agenda, warns a report that was recently sent to several top federal officials.
The report, which was acquired by the Canadian Press through access-to-information law and described as “secret,” cautioned about the possibility of China working to control Chinese-Canadian communities. Dubbed “hostile-state activity,” such interference could include cyberattacks, spreading of misinformation, swaying of Canadian elections, and targeted actions toward Canada’s economy—all of which might be done through using the Chinese ethnic community.
