Yes, I believe I was quoted in the Quebec press with the word “troublant”. It's troubling to me that this is going on.
I agree that it's part of the Chinese regime's overall scheme to use these investments to serve Chinese interests and to cause us to have too much dependency on China, which then could be used as economic coercion in political areas over things like police stations or Chinese espionage.
The Quebec universities have a very serious problem of Chinese money resulting in the transfer of dual-use technologies to China from Quebec. Huawei, for example, is still sponsoring projects in the province of Quebec.
