A newly released document shows that intelligence officials have been tracking China's attempts to meddle in Canadian affairs for more than 35 years.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, right, and Chinese President Xi Jinping are shown at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bangkok in November 2022. The federal government has been embroiled in months of controversy over Chinese interference in Canadian elections.
Much of the document remains secret on the grounds that disclosure could harm the conduct of international affairs, the defence of Canada or the detection, prevention or suppression of subversive or hostile activities. A former RCMP officer has been charged with foreign interference. He allegedly helped the Chinese government unlawfully intimidate someone living in Canada and obtained intelligence or services to benefit China, the RCMP said.
Cheuk Kwan, co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, said he was not surprised by the report.
