The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) 2022 report stated that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is continuing to engage in espionage against Canadian academic institutions, defence contractors, and civil society organizations.
“As a global leader in research and innovation, Canada is a prime target for the PRC’s intangible technology transfer efforts. China targets research through legal, illegal and other unregulated means in order to augment its science and technology sector,” the report states.
