A human rights group is raising concerns about the Canadian government-funded Chinese Canadian Museum as it opens to the public this month, citing anomalies during the opening ceremony and some board members’ outspoken support of the Chinese communist regime.
The opening ceremony was held at the museum, housed in the historic Wing Sang Building in Vancouver’s Chinatown, on July 1. Dozens of politicians from all three levels of government were invited, including British Columbia Premier David Eby, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, and Mary Ng, the federal minister of international trade, export promotion, small business, and economic development.
