Panel Discussion - Silent Invasion: China's Influence Operations in the West

China’s influence operations have become a growing concern among liberal-democratic countries around the world. Australia has been at the forefront of such efforts, with reports of China’s massive cash donations to political parties, mobilization of student associations on campuses, monitoring of Chinese nationals, including students, and efforts to control the national discussion through media partnerships, Confucius Institutes, and funding of academic centres. Yet Australia is not alone. Other countries have also found themselves targeted by the Chinese government – from New Zealand to the United States to Canada. To shed light on the dangers posed by Chinese influence operations, MLI hosted a panel discussion moderated by the Globe and Mail's Ottawa Bureau Chief, Robert Fife. This panel brought together a range of experts on security, diplomacy and business to help us understand what China’s strategies and tactics are, and how we must understand issues such as investment by China in Canadian firms. Panelists: Clive Hamilton, author of Silent Invasion: China's influence in Australia Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former CSIS Officer and Manager Richard Owens, Munk Senior Fellow, MLI Duanjie Chen, Munk Senior Fellow, MLI (NOTE: Ms. Chen's face has been deliberately blurred for security reasons)
