    Now I know this plan is foolproof. Check this out. First of all, you and me start studying in Canada. Doesn't matter the university, okay, just so long as we get in there, all right? Then we just go there every day, do the work, study, gain their trust until we get them in the palm of our hand.

    All right. So how we get the intel?

    That's the beauty of it, bro. They deposit the intel into our brains, week after week, month after month. They're not even gonna know they're being spied on. And then 4 or 6 years later, we graduate like nothing even happened.

    The officer cited an article titled "Why is China Becoming a Microfluidics Superpower?" — which says microfluidic devices are important for new medical research — in support of his decision to reject Li.

    Hate when spies want to advance medical science.

      Rejecting Doctor Zhang because I read an article that says “More Chinese Medical Students Specializing in Cancer Research to Help Elderly”

        Asking my Chinese physician if they're just using my physical as a means of advanced their knowledge, and therefor China's knowledge, in the medical field

    "As hostile state actors increasingly make use of non-traditional methods to obtain sensitive information in Canada or abroad, contrary to Canada's interests, the court's appreciation of what constitutes 'espionage' must evolve," he wrote in his December 22 decision, made public this week.

    "The officer further noted that Mr. Li has a strong interest in microfluidics [...] and that he indicated in his study plans that he wanted to dedicate his career to improving China's underdevelopment of the application of advances to point-of-care technology in the field of public health," says the Federal Court decision.

      Only the most scrupulous asiatic agents have interests in microfluidics. Not even our own Canadian students care about it! Deport him!

    The irony is that Canada's only chance of not having its entire lunch eaten by the US as their rapacious interests pull back from elsewhere in the world is to encourage Chinese interest in the country. Canada is a gnat in either relationship, but they'll make out better if they can negotiate between two powers instead of one.

    Mainland Chinese would be better off not glamorizing universities in the Five Eyes countries that hate them even more than most Western countries do.

      I think it’s usually rich students that go. But China has been recruiting Chinese Americans who have been wrongfully accused of working for China to actually work for China for real lol

      Speaking as a canuck, I second this. Our racist state, with its own low-key apartheid system that harms the First Nations, is basically irredeemable.

      Also, I'm willing to collaborate with the Chinese government in exchange for having input into nuclear strike locations. First, Red Deer needs to go, followed by Cochrane, Airdrie, and Okotoks.

    I'm just kind of blown away.

    Learning something in a foreign country and then taking it back to use in your country's domestic industry is what almost all foreign university students are doing, no?

    Do they expect him to pay for four years of not learning and go back to China empty handed? How is this espionage? Fucking racist pricks, kkkanada

      They probably expect him to stay in canada, for the benefit of canada. There is a brain drain problem from global south to global north (ironically, all of this paranoia over espionage is going to damage this brain drain strategy of theirs)

    So did they find any proof of electoral interference or secret police station yet? Or we are cooking the next china bad lore?

      I think a UK police report said that none of the “secret police” buildings investigated had anything to do with Chinese government operations lol

          Hopefully they succeed. The canucks have so many crimes that go unnoticed and they spend all their resources on racist bullshit. It’s the point of course, but frustrating as hell that the assholes get to move on with their lives while communities are in pieces over legal fees and threats and reputations damaged.

      Every time Canada does something like this, China should respond tit for tat by banning one Michael.
