Thank you for your question.
You mentioned the fact that the line between private and public doesn't exist in the Chinese system. In fact, a lot of companies are owned by the government. Chinese companies are also trying to hide their holdings in front companies.
When our department receives export control requests, it analyzes the entire chain of the company to try to trace the source and see where all the parts and components fit in. There is always a risk of diversion, and we are looking at it closely.
Are we fully effective? I don't know. There are always doubts that a component could potentially end up in parts of Chinese military technologies. Our focus is really very much on the fact that we don't want Canadian components to end up in Chinese companies.
