Federal security officials have uncovered an online information campaign linked to Beijing targeting Mark Carney. The operation, reportedly managed through a prominent Chinese social media platform, raised concerns among Canadian political and security circles amid an ongoing election period. Officials warned that the fabricated content is designed to influence public opinion. The investigation is focusing on verifying the connection to the Chinese government and assessing the broader impact on Canadian political discourse and international relations.
China is once again interfering in Canada's federal election and once again, looking to help the Liberals.
The Chinese operation meant to "influence Canadian Chinese communities" and "mold perceptions" about Carney, a SITE task force member said
Both posts caught fire at a suspiciously fast pace, garnering an estimated one to three million views
The 'information operation' was launched by Youli-Youmian, WeChat's most popular news account, which has been linked to the Chinese Communist Party, Canadian officials said.
Federal security officials say they’ve found an online information operation linked to the Chinese government that has targeted Liberal Leader Mark Carney.
