We Don't Have to Trade With China

And yet, we do:

University teachers seek an exemption from a new federal law that unmasks friends of foreign agents, claiming a “chilling effect.” The appeal follows evidence documenting the reach of Chinese agents on campus: “This recruitment strategy is called ‘feed, trap and kill.'”

 

Name the b@$#@rds or lose your funding.

A real country would have turfed these people:

Canada has done a detailed mapping of what it says are covert Chinese police operations within its borders and wants to explore a response with Group of Seven allies to a challenge faced by several nations.

The issue of Beijing allegedly setting up unofficial “police stations” in Western democracies — to monitor and intimidate members of the Chinese diaspora — has become a growing concern. Canada, the US, Italy, Germany and the UK have all grappled with the problem.

Ottawa is expected to share its findings with the G-7 in the coming weeks and wants to explore a coordinated response, two people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters not yet public.

RCMP investigations into foreign interference have grown sixfold, says a briefing note for Commissioner Michael Duheme. Suspicious activity included alleged criminality by Chinese Communist Party agents targeting MPs: “The RCMP experienced an increase of 468 percent in its foreign actor interference related occurrences.”
