CSIS confirms MP Michael Chong and family targeted by China
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service on Tuesday confirmed to Conservative MP Michael Chong that he and his family were targeted by the Chinese government after he sponsored a parliamentary motion condemning Beijing’s conduct in Xinjiang as genocide, the MP says.The Globe and Mail firstThe briefing provided to Mr. Chong took place Tuesday in Ottawa.
Mr. Chong said the failure to notify him of China’s targeting represents either a breakdown of the machinery of government or a political failure by the Liberal government. This effort, the CSIS report said, “is almost certainly meant to make an example of this MP and deter others from taking anti-PRC positions.”
The report warned that Beijing is the “foremost perpetrator” of foreign interference in Canada. Its agents are unconcerned about repercussions, the report says, because of the lack of obstacles such as a foreign-influence registry.
