Thank you.
I'll start with Mr. Gamache.
Benjamin Fung, on behalf of Alliance Canada Hong Kong, appeared before the committee on September 20, 2023, and he described China's recruitment strategy as “feed, trap and kill”. It involves attracting targets by making lucrative offers and then making unreasonable requests, such as “transferring IP rights, getting sensitive data or asking the professor to say something that may not be true.”
Mr. Gamache, can you speak about how familiar you are with this strategy and maybe about how we can combat these types of recruitment strategies? If not, are researchers sufficiently aware of this type of threat? How could we increase their awareness?
