Major Report finds 575 CCP linked organizations operating in Canada

“My research looks at how the Chinese Communist Party or the CCP built influence in democratic societies through what it calls overseas United Front work. United Front is the party's weapon that it uses to expand control and influence without using force.

The party uses this system to shape political, social, and economic environments in ways that serve the party's goal, which is becoming the dominant global power — the party has created a global network of individuals and organizations inside open societies”

“Canada alone has at least 575 United Front-linked organizations, making it the second largest network in the research, and has the highest per capita among the four countries. Much of the United Front work happens through informal ties, such as personal relationships, invitation to China, honorary titles, and privileged access. So the nearly 600 United Front linked organizations identified in Canada within a limited amount of time and resources are really just a visible layer of a much larger system operating quietly underneath. Canada is important to the Chinese Communist Party because it has strong institutions, vibrant civil society, and the large diaspora communities.

To the party, if it can shape thinking, networks, and decisions in countries like Canada, It doesn't need confrontation. It gets accommodation instead. So Canada, alongside the United States, has become one of the key environments where overseas United Front work is actively developed”
