‘I feel free to speak up … As a Canadian, I want to focus on people from China, Chinese-speaking residents to (help them) understand what this country is all about’
As the official spokeswoman for the Chinese-Canadian family of a 13-year-old girl murdered in Burnaby, B.C., Meena Wong’s thoughtful comments about the case earlier this month were broadly covered by the province’s English-language media.It was no big surprise. A Beijing native who openly criticizes her mother country’s government, Wong says she’s not exactly a sought-after figure in the Chinese-immigrant establishment.
Huang said most leave China for Canada to escape that system, but realize that if they question the party line, relatives overseas could be threatened, or businesses they own there undermined. Experts, though, say China has funneled unprecedented resources recently into its own campaign to mould opinion in foreign countries, targeting both the Chinese diaspora and business and political elites.
