Okay. Very good.
We know that CSIS, NSICOP and Madam Justice Hogue, who of course was the commissioner of the inquiry into foreign interference, identified the Beijing-based Communist regime as the biggest foreign interference actor in Canada. Indeed, the Prime Minister only a year ago quite appropriately characterized Beijing as Canada's biggest security threat.
A major component of Beijing's interference activities in Canada involves transnational repression involving efforts to surveil, harass, coerce and intimidate members of diaspora and other targeted communities. To be specific, prioritized target groups by Beijing include Uyghurs, Tibetans, Falun Gong practitioners, pro-democracy activists and Hong Kong and Taiwan independence advocates, which President Xi has characterized as the “five poisons”.
Is this a fair summation?
