Kwan said Monday that she’s a target for foreign interference by the Chinese government. | Don MacKinnon/Getty ImagesOTTAWA — A Hong Kong-born lawmaker says Canada’s top spy agency warned her that Beijing has her marked as an “evergreen” political target due to her activism.
Kwan’s disclosure is the latest development in a thorny foreign interference controversy that’s been fueled by months of intelligence leaks.” in how security agencies and government handle sensitive intelligence. The Vancouver MP declined to provide additional details about the nature of the threat, citing national security concerns.
Kwan pushed for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to call a national inquiry into foreign meddling by the Chinese government, despite an independent investigator’s recent advice that one would not be possible given the sensitivity of tradecraft. Political fireworks are expected as opposition parties continue to cast the independent investigation, led by former governor general David Johnston, as evidence of cronyism given his ties with the Trudeau family.
