Transnational cartels, the Chinese Communist Party and Canadian politicians in spotlight after Richmond shooting — ‘Intelligence sources say Paul King Jin, attended meetings organized in Canada by the Chinese Communist Party’ | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/7352842/i…
2. There is more intelligence starting to emerge among sources looking at a dense knot of connections between suspects in RCMP investigations of transnational crime, Chinese consulate officials, tycoon businesspeople, and how they all interact with Canadian politicians.
3. This shooting shocking to sources for all kinds of reasons; the targets, the potential to harm families dining with children at the scene, the people in this dinner party aside from the believed targets, and how this spotlights the political activity of Jin and his associates.
4. Remember, @CullenInquiryBC is mandated to examine whether corruption could factor into BC's dirty money problem. Findings of this story raise questions about whether corruption could be much broader than casino and real estate administration. Could it include the United Front?
5. "Intelligence sources say one of the victims, Paul King Jin, attended meetings organized in Canada by the Chinese Communist Party to allegedly interfere in Canadian politics and disrupt the country’s institutions."
6. There are some meetings in Toronto and Vancouver that sources indicate are especially notable for United Front Work Department leaders meeting with Canadian pols, Chinese state representatives, and this should raise national security concerns, but Ottawa isn't paying attention
7. A bit on the open source network mapping I've been doing since 2017. Some people are linked by sources to the United Front Work Department, and they constantly appear with Chinese officials, VIP gamblers, and convicted criminals such as Mr. Jin, at United Front dinners.

12. There is no allegation of wrongdoing against any of the politicians or businesspersons at these meetings. Sources say some politicians could be completely unaware they are meeting with alleged transnational crime suspects. But some politicians appear to have more awareness.
13. @BradWestPoCo is one politician that thinks there is enough information for some Canadian politicians to know better. "There is a well documented and co-ordinated effort by the Chinese government to expand their power in our government’s decision-making" ...
14. “In the face of this knowledge, it is appalling that there are elected officials who seem intent on making the United Front’s job as easy as possible by meeting with them regularly, allowing them into their inner circle and paving their way to gain influence ...
15. “There are indications that criminal networks in Canada are linked to events where individuals believed to be United Front Work Department have been present, and these associations should be considered as having the potential to impact national security," @5eyes_Scott
16. “And we know there is information that shows criminal networks are meeting often with Chinese consular officials in Canadian cities.” McGregor specialized in collection from various sources including open source record exploitation, and making intelligence assessments. He
looks at transnational crime networks and convergences with state actors, in the Five Eyes intelligence sharing world.
