The Conservatives are condemning Ottawa’s funding of a Canada-China scholars exchange program that requires participants to show allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), following an Epoch Times report on the matter.
On April 9, the federal government issued a notice about the 2024–25 Canada-China Scholars’ Exchange Program for Chinese applicants. The notice, posted on a website managed by a division of Global Affairs Canada, provides a link to a corresponding notice on the Chinese regime agency’s website specifying the conditions for applicants.
