"I'm in my 30s and don't understand #TikTok."
But I have been writing about Canada-China issues for a while now, so I'm glad for this opportunity to discuss a number of big stories on @TorontoStar's great podcast #ThisMatters thestar.com/podcasts/thism…
With the Dec. 2018 arrest of Meng Wanzhou and China's subsequent "hostage diplomacy" imprisonment of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, this has coloured all interactions between the countries since, I discussed with @rajumudhar: thestar.com/news/canada/20…
Add to that, geopolitical tensions have now been exacerbated by recent developments like the draconian national security law in Hong Kong and Trump's executive orders to ban #WeChat and #TikTok. We review where Canada-China relations now stand. thestar.com/podcasts/thism…
Politics in China having global impact has always been real to me because I grew up in Vancouver as a migrant from Hong Kong.
Now, there is so much going on that everyone wants to understand China. It's hard to keep up with the news, so here's a review: thestar.com/podcasts/thism…
What are the human costs of growing tensions between Canada-China and the US-China?
That's a theme colleagues like @Nuttallreports and I have tried to explore in our years of reporting at @TorontoStar. @rajumudhar raises great questions in this #podcast: thestar.com/podcasts/thism…
We've written articles that provide big-picture information on China's goals in Canada.
If you haven't heard of the United Front Work Department, you're not alone! We tried do demystify this shady-sounding Chinese Communist Party agency. thestar.com/vancouver/2019… @Nuttallreports
After years as a foreign correspondent in Greater China, I was grateful to return to write this front-page story for @TorontoStar on the huge pro-democracy and anti-extradition protests in Hong Kong last summer. So much has happened since. thestar.com/news/canada/20…
Now, what does the new national security law mean for Canadians? How could it be that this law claims to apply to anyone in the world? thestar.com/news/canada/20…
This year, I spent months investigating the ways Beijing tries to extend its influence to local-level politicians in Canada.
I told this story through the experiences of one elected official who found himself repeatedly featuring in pro-CCP propaganda.

I discussed my investigation into China's efforts to influence municipal-level politicians in Canada in this @TorontoStar podcast hosted by @rajumudhar.
It's a quick and concise one, so have a listen anytime and let us know if you have any feedback. thestar.com/podcasts/thism…
.@rajumudhar and I also spoke on the podcast about the impact of Trump's executive order to ban #TikTok and #WeChat.
Here's what experts told me on why bans would be a bad idea, but better regulation is overdue: thestar.com/news/canada/20… @TorontoStar
