Information & Ethics committee  Yes. This is an ethnic language problem, so mainstream society has no idea what has happened in our Chinese community in the past.

Information & Ethics committee  The basic principle for the CCP is to intimidate the so-called “hostile voices” in our Chinese community. On the other hand, they manipulate information and misinformation—even fake news—on social media like WeChat and TikTok, to spread official propaganda to sidetrack from the c

Information & Ethics committee  As a retired journalist who worked for a Chinese-Canadian media organization for 25 years, I observed that the most efficient way for the CCP to control Chinese-language media is to co-opt the top management of the targeted company. The editorial policy of that medium will then a

Canada-China Relations committee  Yes. One of the aspects is that the Chinese government united a lot of organizations here in Canada and even some new societies and some organizations. They have created a lot of names like “All Canada” or “Greater Vancouver”, the biggest names to post for these organizations, to

Canada-China Relations committee  It was my pleasure. Thank you very much.

Canada-China Relations committee  What I recommend is mainly with regard to the Chinese media and the political interference by foreign governments. My main concern is with our Canadian values and whether these Chinese media uphold our universal values. My concern is with media professionals in Canada in terms of

Canada-China Relations committee  The answer is yes. This was a long-time change since 1997. My ex-boss is Sing Tao Daily's president. The Hong Kong Sing Tao Daily chairman is a very important political consultative member in China. They changed the boss. They changed the news manager of the editorial departmen

Canada-China Relations committee  Yes. You are totally right. This is a kind misinformation war that's happening and has happened for a few years in Canada, like WeChat and like the Chinese newspapers and the Chinese media here. They are propagating a lot of Chinese messages, but Canada's government does nothing

Canada-China Relations committee  The answer is that it absolutely has changed. It changed to the opposite side of what was promised by the Sino-British joint declaration. Hong Kong is now essentially one country and one system, but the government, the Beijing regime, still calls it one country and two systems,

Canada-China Relations committee  The limitation is so obvious. You cannot publish work or news reports contrary to the new SL. Take journalists like Ms. Choy at Radio Television Hong Kong. She was just arrested a few days ago because she made a documentary on the police where, again, the police were against us i

Canada-China Relations committee  What I said is about the party politics by Chinese consulates or Chinese ambassadors here in Canada. They use so-called “Chineseness” to lobby or to persuade the local Chinese Canadians to take sides on the real politics of China, to support their policies. The best example invol

Canada-China Relations committee  It works very effectively, because the people in Canada, especially the non-Chinese society, do not have enough knowledge to separate the Chinese nationals and the real citizens of Canada.

Canada-China Relations committee  I think Canada should consider introducing some kind of foreign missions act similar to that created in the United States in 1982. This could help to control the political infiltration by foreign countries. The main purpose includes, but is not limited to, the regulation of the a

Canada-China Relations committee  First of all, we should recognize that there is a freedom of assembly for the social organizations here in the Chinese community. The focus should be on the foreign government interference and not on our Chinese society. The point is that we have no adequate policy or suitable me

Canada-China Relations committee  I think the people here in the Chinese community are wondering which channels we could report through. Would it be CSIS? We don't have any FBI reporting line, and CSIS is not a kind of active government agency to tackle this problem. They are gathering information about some acti
