Activists, experts and policy makers speak out on Chinese state influence in Canada
Activists, experts and policy makers are speaking out on what they describe as an ever-growing “influence” of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Canadian business, academic and political circles.
There has been mounting scrutiny on the CCP’s increased flexing of its intelligence muscles since the ascension of President Xi Jinping in 2013.
Canada’s intelligence agencies have taken the rare step of naming China as a significant threat to the country’s sovereignty, with CSIS director David Vigneault publicly saying in a February 2021 speech that Canadians are being “aggressively” targeted by foreign interests – and Beijing was engaged in “activities that are a direct threat to our national security and sovereignty.”

The most famous Chinese cyberattacks
Cyberattacks have become a well-polished weapon in China’s armoury over the past decade.
Used as methods of espionage, state-sponsored data breaches and server hacks pose a significant threat to global security and public safety. And far-reaching attacks have established China as “one of the world’s pre-eminent cyber players”, says cybersecurity firm IronNet.
Cybercrime worldwide has risen by 600% during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to research published by business insurance company Embroker.

US urges WHO assembly to include Taiwan
The United States on Friday renewed calls for the World Health Organization's decision-making body to include Taiwan over China's objections, pointing to the island's strong record on fighting Covid.
The World Health Assembly will gather in Geneva starting on May 24, its latest annual meeting in the midst of the global pandemic that has killed more than three million people.
"Taiwan's outstanding control of Covid-19 and its donations of PPE demonstrate its strong contribution to global health," State Department spokesman Ned Price said, referring to personal protective equipment.
