Mega-Thread 🧵below in light of today's news that Canadian intelligence services have identified Chinese state support for Mark Carney in the Liberal Leadership race.
Very few people in public life have longer or deeper relationships with Chinese Communist Party Leadershio than Mark Carney @markjcarney
Have you EVER heard Mark Carney say anything critical of the People's Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party?
Have you every heard Mark Carney make a comment on the security and defence challenges Canada and the West have with China?
Why doesn't the Canadian media report on Mark Carney's frequent meetings in the People's Republic of China and with CCP Leaders abroad? Note that UK and Chinese media do.
A long and growing thread to raise awareness of Carney's relationships with the CCP is set out below.
Carney refuses to comment on China and the Uyghur Genocide
Odd for someone who claims to be so focused on "Values"
Mark Carney is the Chair of the Advisory Board at Canada 2020 Think Tank - which is part of the Global Progress initiative of the "Center for American Progress" - part-funded by the Chinese Communist Party.
You can tell a lot about Mark Carney by seeing who he spends his time with.
Carney was selected to serve on the Board of "Special Rapporteur" David Johnston's Rideau Hall Foundation in 2021. They have since scrubbed Carney's name from their website. rhf-frh.ca/the-rideau-hal…
The Rideau Hall Foundation Board is filled with a Who's Who of the Chinese Communist Party's Best Friends in Canada: "Special Rapporteur" David Jonhston, Dominic Barton, John Manley, Jean Charest & Paul Desmarais III - just to name a few.

Mark Carney met with Chinese Communist Party Leadership in Beijing in October 2024 - just prior to the Liberal Leadership race:
“On the afternoon of October 20, [2024] Yin Yong, Mayor of Beijing, held separate meetings with Mark Carney, Chair of Brookfield Asset Management and Former Governor of the Bank of England, and Philipp Hildebrand, Vice Chairman of BlackRock and Former Chairman of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank. Both guests came to Beijing for the Annual Conference of Financial Street Forum 2024.”
“Carney highlighted Brookfield Asset Management’s keen interest in seizing development opportunities in China, further expanding its business in Beijing, and deepening cooperation with relevant partners in areas such as green finance, fund management, and infrastructure investment.”

Even during Covid shutdowns, Carney maintained high level meetings with Chinese Communist Party leadership:
Carney went to China with the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer (i.e. Finance Minister) in 2017 seeking investment from China.
Carney was the head of the supposedly independent central Bank of England.
Why would the Chancellor take the head of the central bank Carney to China? It is not the role of a central banker to go abroad to go abroad to negotiate foreign investment. Very clearly Carney went because Carney has deep relationships with the Chinese Communist Party - right up to Xi Jinping (who Carney met privately with at Davos a few months before).

Carney was due to be the Guest Speaker at a dinner hosted by the City of London for senior Chinese officials in 2019. He withdrew from the event when questions were raised about speaking at the dinner during riots in Hong Kong.
Why would they select Carney as the Guest Speaker at a dinner for senior Chinese officials?

Mark Carney accompanied Canada’s Finance Minister to meetings with senior Chinese Communist Party Officials in 2009.
Why would the head of a central bank attend meetings to promote trade and investment? He is supposed to be independent of Government.
Was Carney there because of his deep relationships with senior Chinese Communist Party officials?

Why would an independent Central Bank Governor be promoting investment in China?
I think we can see Carney was already turned by 2012.
