A human rights group has criticized Ottawa for not alerting Chinese diaspora communities to Beijing’s extensive foreign interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 general elections, despite having ample evidence.

The group, known as the Chinese Canadian Concern Group on the Chinese Communist Party’s Human Rights Violations (the Concern Group), made the comment in its submission to the public inquiry into foreign interference on April 15.
