As Canada dithers on Chinese interference, U.S. attacks it head-on<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. prosecutors bust an alleged ‘secret police station’ in New York, as similar stations in Canada remain open<\/p>\n

Canada is now in Month Three of a scandal holding that the Trudeau government has shown indifference to overt attempts by the People\u2019s Republic of China to subvert Canadian affairs. <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s notable that when similar allegations of Chinese meddling turned up in the United States, it was met with a particularly hardline response by U.S. intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, the FBI has been sounding the alarm about the threat posed by the Chinese government,\u201d reads a Monday statement by Christopher Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cthe Chinese government will stop at nothing to lie, steal, and cheat its way to wealth and power, to silence those who oppose it, and to project its authoritarian view around the world \u2014 and within our own borders.\u201d <\/p>\n

Wray\u2019s statement was in response to charges made in New York City alleging that the Chinese Ministry of Public Security contracted two U.S. nationals to establish a \u201csecret police station\u201d in a commercial space in Manhattan\u2019s Chinatown. While ostensibly set up to assist Chinese expats in renewing driver\u2019s licenses and other documents, U.S. authorities alleged the stations had a more \u201csinister\u201d role in tracking and intimidating dissidents.<\/p>\n

The New York City case is not all that different from similar allegations of \u201csecret police stations\u201d operating on Canadian soil. In September, a report by the Spanish-based human rights group Safeguard Defenders identified three such stations in the Toronto area, saying that they were part of the Chinese policy of \u201cinvoluntary return\u201d \u2013 a program of coercing PRC expats to return home if authorities deemed them to be in violation of Chinese law. <\/p>\n

A Global Affairs representative told a House of Commons committee in October that such stations would be \u201centirely illegal\u201d if they existed. And while the RCMP did begin investigating the alleged stations last year, they\u2019ve said little about the case other than the fact that they made a point of having uniformed Mounties visit them in person. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t heard very many new complaints on those three stations in Toronto and the one in Vancouver as a result of the disruption we have done,\u201d RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, who has since resigned, said in February.<\/p>\n

One of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u2019s few statements on the stations came last month, when he said that they \u201cconcerned us enormously.\u201d He then urged intelligence services to \u201ctake it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, it\u2019s those very intelligence services that have been accusing Trudeau of refusing to take Chinese interference seriously.<\/p>\n

In a series of leaks beginning in February, CSIS released briefing notes alleging that Trudeau was kept up to speed on the agency\u2019s finding that Beijing was actively attempting to influence the results of the 2021 election.<\/p>\n

Regardless, CSIS sources allege, Trudeau largely seems to have ignored the warnings.<\/p>\n

In a March op-ed for The Globe and Mail, one of the leakers said they went public only after years of Ottawa ignoring the \u201curgent\u201d issue of Chinese interference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt had become increasingly clear that no serious action was being considered. Worse still, evidence of senior public officials ignoring interference was beginning to mount,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n

The New York arrests are not the first time that the U.S. justice system has confronted the issue of alleged Chinese government interference on foreign soil.<\/p>\n

In October, U.S. District Attorneys in New York and New Jersey charged 13 individuals with allegedly conspiring to orchestrate the forced repatriation of a Chinese national living in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Any number of Chinese-Canadians have for years reported similarly being targeted and harassed by agents acting on behalf of the People\u2019s Republic of China, only to have their complaints ignored by Canadian authorities.<\/p>\n

Cherie Wong, executive director of the group Alliance Canada Hong Kong, said in testimony last month before a House of Commons Committee that many fellow Chinese-Canadians were afraid to speak up against Beijing \u201cbecause they have seen extreme cases of where activists and dissidents are threatened.\u201d <\/p>\n
