As I've said before, and I want to be respectful of committee, I am limited in what I can say in a public setting. However, I think there is a fundamental difference between the PRC Communist Party activities and Russia. The most fundamental one is the fact that, since the arrival of Xi Jinping as the president of China and the leader of the Communist Party, we have seen a growth in the ability and the budgets of the United Front Work Department.
The UFWD is a tool that was created at the inception of the Communist Party in the 1940s and has existed in Canada for a long, long time. Xi Jinping has described it as one of his magic weapons. The UFWD's main goal is to interfere in other countries' affairs. I would say that this is one of the most significant differences between the PRC and other countries.
