Some 50 Canadian universities have been working in partnership with a Chinese military scientific institution to conduct academic research on high-end and sensitive technologies, such as those related to guided missiles and eavesdropping, according to a U.S.-based data security company.
Researchers from Canadian universities—including the University of Waterloo, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, and McGill University—have conducted and published hundreds of scientific papers with Chinese military scientists at the National University of Defence Technology (NUDT) between 2005 to 2022, reported The Globe and Mail, based on a study by U.S. strategic intelligence company Strider Technologies Inc.
