Canadian MP Michael Chong testified before Congress Tuesday about his experience as the target of a Chinese political interference campaign.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service determined that a Chinese diplomat named Zhao Wei was plotting to use Chong’s family in Hong Kong as leverage to “make an example” out of him. China’s goal was allegedly to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power, but weakened enough to be even less of an impediment to Beijing’s agenda than he already was.it in February 2023.
“Democracies are often slow to react to the threat of authoritarian states, which can act much more quickly. Since the spring, the Canadian government has been standing up and supporting me,” he said. Chong said China’s global influence network is a “systematic, long-term effort” that includes online platforms like WeChat, state-controlled “news” media, and in-person operations like the bureaus Beijing uses to monitor and influence Chinese students living abroad.
“Although Michael has been harassed, he has not in any way, shape, or form been intimidated,” Smith said.
