#Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Liberal Party) linked to #China influence operations, billionaires, and a crime network in Canada, including one that engages in illegal gambling and prostitution. globalnews.ca/news/7416772/m…
"In 2016 and 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau participated in at least a handful of fundraising events in the Toronto and Vancouver regions that featured wealthy entrepreneurs such as Wei."
"A media report in the National Post also revealed that Trudeau met twice with Wei, including at a Toronto-area Liberal fundraiser in 2016."
"Also with Wei at these meetings was a Chinese billionaire and member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Bin Zhang, who later made a $1-million donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, the Globe and Mail previously reported."
"A former CSIS intelligence officer told Global News that he was concerned about donations to the Trudeau foundation from a Chinese tycoon."
"...in Richmond, Trudeau received donations in 2016 from a Chinese national named Rongxiang ‘Tiger’ Yuan."
"Election financing records indicate that Yuan donated at least two times to the Liberal Party in 2016 at events in Richmond, including $1,500 to Trudeau’s Papineau Federal Liberal Association, and $1,414 to the Liberal Party of Canada."
"Another of Yuan’s registered donations of $1,384 to the Liberal Party of Canada, could have been the result of a clerical error, a Liberal Party spokesman said."
"Photographs documenting one 2017 gala meeting where Yuan and suspects identified in RCMP documents obtained by Global News met with CACA leaders show a large framed photograph with Yuan and Trudeau shaking hands in front of a Canadian flag."
"The photograph, which is not part of RCMP files reviewed by Global News, appears to document a personal meeting in 2016 between Yuan and Trudeau."
"The crackdown followed media reports in late 2017 of the RCMP’s E-Pirate investigation, which targeted the network of the survivor of the recent shooting, Paul King Jin. The E-Pirate investigation focused on ..."
"... an alleged underground bank in Richmond that RCMP believed was linked to more than 600 bank accounts in China and Hong Kong, in an operation that laundered at least $1-billion annually for drug cartels based in China, Latin America, and the Middle East."
"RCMP sources say the Richmond underground bank enabled some so-called whale gamblers from China — men that allegedly used bags of drug cash provided by Paul Jin’s network to bet up to $1-million per night in B.C. Lottery casinos — ..."
"...to move money between China and Vancouver, some of which is suspected to fund fentanyl imports into B.C."
"Yongtao Chen and Rongxiang Yuan and Paul Jin have also appeared side-by-side with Chinese consulate officials, Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido and various Richmond politicians at a private CACA event in Vancouver in 2018, photos show."
"More recently under Yongtao Chen’s leadership, dozens of CACA groups have denounced pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, while Chen and CACA leaders also lobbied on Parliament Hill for Chinese 'Nanjing massacre' war memorials in Canada."

The signing of the BECA defense pact yesterday by the US and #India is a truly historic agreement as India has been a leader of the non-aligned movement (NAM) that arose at the Bandung Conference of 1955 in Indonesia... tribuneindia.com/news/nation/in…
... and was formalized at the Cairo Conference of 1961. During the entire Cold War with the #SovietUnion, India was non-aligned with the western world despite the fact that it was a democracy.
The year after Cairo, in 1962, China launched a war against India for the Aksai Chin, taking 14,700 square miles of Indian territory and causing 1,300 Indian deaths and 1,000 wounded.
