That’s very nice but Lee's actions speak louder than a campaign soundbite.

The library is now open.

Also a new kind of politician for the New Era of CCP political warfare against Canada, Mr. Lee had no trouble flitting from one political camp to another when the opportunity arose. We often see him at United Front events standing next to political adversaries from the BC NDP.

From careful study of Mr. Lee’s involvement with CCP United Front groups over the past decade, we can conclude that he seeks legitimacy not necessarily from an ethnic voting bloc, but more from a CCP United Front voting bloc that exists in Metro Vancouver.

In 2008, for instance, we saw Mr. Lee join the PRC consulate, local CCP United Front groups, and other fealty-seeking BC politicians in entertaining a CCP United Front delegation from China. chinaqw.com/zgqj/cfjl/2008…

In 2010, we again see Mr. Lee hosting CCP United Front officials, this time from Zhuhai, Guangdong.

A party was thrown for 600 people, the consulate’s United Front attache was there along with other politicians and United Front organisers, and the Zhuhai Friendship Society of Vancouver was formed. chinanews.com/zgqj/2010/11-3…

In late 2010, Mr. Lee was there when Johnny Fong was made chairman of United Front group Canadian Alliance of Chinese Associations (CACA)

and the following year Mr. Lee attended the ten year anniversary of the infamous Canada Wenzhou Friendship Society.

Seen standing next to equally infamous Pan Miaofei, we saw Messrs. Lee and Pan again in 2013 at the opening of the new Canada Wenzhou Friendship Society building.

Back in 2012, we also saw Messrs. Lee and Fong at the 27th anniversary of CCP United Front group Chinese Universities Alumni Association of Vancouver Canada. cuaa1984.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/%E4…

In May 2014, Mr. Lee joined PRC consular officials and CCP United Front workers at the pro-CCP Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver

for the launch of History of Chinese Migration to Canada (1858-1966) (加拿大华侨移民史), a book published by the CCP’s People’s Publishing House and part of the larger long-term project to ‘tell the China story well’. xinhuanet.com//world/2014-05…

In September, Mr. Lee was back at the Canada Wenzhou Friendship Society, seated next to Pan Miaofei at a mid-Autumn party attended by over 200 people. wenzhouren.ca/?p=1246

In July that year, Mr. Lee sat alongside local CCP United Front workers at a press conference for the 18th Convention of the Teochew International Federation in Vancouver, which the following month was attended by 3,000 people from 80 countries.
