This China:
The owner of a multi-million dollar mansion seized by police this summer for running an illegal gambling operation and for illegal possession of weapons was a guest at one of the cash-for-access fundraisers attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2016.
Police have charged Wei Wei, 52, with a number of crimes, including running an illegal gambling operation at his property in Markham, north of Toronto, illegal possession of weapons, and possessing proceeds of crime. York Regional Police made the details of the arrest public last week. The raid on the alleged operation in July was part of a larger crackdown on illegal gaming operations in the Greater Toronto Area, dubbed Project Endgame.

The two victims are allegedly elite suspects in an international gang involved in money laundering at B.C. casinos. The attack was also on the eve of upcoming hearings, slated to run from October 2020 to April 2021, as part of the Cullen Commission, a provincial inquiry into money laundering.
While it’s not clear where that inquiry will lead, criminal intelligence sources say the nature of the shooting should serve as a warning about threats to national security and risks for Canadian politicians who have been observed meeting with dangerous people.
Intelligence sources say one of the victims, Paul King Jin, attended meetings organized in Canada by the Chinese Communist Party to allegedly interfere in Canadian politics and disrupt the country’s institutions.

More than 5,000 small animals have been found dead inside shipping boxes in China, in what authorities suspect was a botched pet-delivery operation.
The animal welfare group Utopia found thousands of dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs inside the boxes at a shipping hub in Luohe City, in the central province of Henan, on Sept. 22.
They say the vast majority of the animals were found dead, but they did manage to save a relatively small number. The animals had been left at the shipping depot inside cardboard boxes with holes in them.
