Yes. One of the aspects is that the Chinese government united a lot of organizations here in Canada and even some new societies and some organizations. They have created a lot of names like “All Canada” or “Greater Vancouver”, the biggest names to post for these organizations, to make them a total voice from Canada's Chinese community and to create these societies. They then control the leadership of those societies, no matter if they're old societies or new societies.
The second thing is that the Chinese government tries to influence the journalists here, especially the Chinese ethnic ones, to take the line of Beijing policies. The method they use is to send the press release and then gather the news managers to the consular office to have a so-called news briefing, and then they use all their chances to persuade or influence the editors to publish or voice government policy.
The third thing is that they just send out some so-called underground CCP members here to make friends with journalists. They also try to persuade the journalists in Canada, especially the ethnic Chinese ones, to take trips to China, so-called free trips, in order to influence their mindset.
