Canadaland #140 - Is the Canadian-Chinese Press Controlled By Beijing?


Recommended Posts

http://canadalandshow.com/podcast/canadian-chinese-press-controlled-beijing

Fascinating look into the world of Canadian-Chinese journalism. A journalist writing on http://www.51.ca/was threatened and there are questions about how much China is involved in influencing the situation.

Included in the revelations: Kathleen Wynne is said to employ a press agent whose former job was for the Chinese government, questions about Ontario Liberal Minister Michael Chan mentioning the 'Motherland' in a speech made in Mandarin.

Canadaland does not have a comments section, so we provide a thread here for people to comment within our moderated forum.

The Chinese government takes the position that ethnic Chinese are their subjects and are required to do what they wish. They have resorted to abducting foreign nationals in countries like Thailand so it is not a stretch to claim that they pressure Chinese press in Canada to parrot communist party propaganda.

The outspoken Chinese Canadian beauty pageant winner Anastasia_Lin wrote in the G&M that her father was threatened by Chinese officials because she spoke out despite the fact that she is a Canadian citizen.
