Former ambassador to China David Mulroney says that the bigger threat comes from foreign agents threatening residents’ families back home and meddling in Canadian politics. Mulroney told a House of Commons committee that Canada is enabling Chinese interference by not implementing a registry and getting serious about the issue.
Charles Burton, another former diplomat posted in China, added that the registry should be communicated as being directed at the broad issue of interference, instead of the meddling of just one country.
