@moosekansoku@minatokumindesu I completely agree, it's a serious problem and its increasingly evident in daily life. They litter like crazy which pisses me off more than anything.
@moosekansoku@minatokumindesu 100%. China has done lots of unprovoked and unwarranted dirty things to Canada over the years. Only recently have things seemed to be changing
@moosekansoku@minatokumindesu I've seen it with my own eyes to some extent. But I've also met Chinese Canadians that want nothing to do with China anymore and fully embrace their new country.
@moosekansoku@minatokumindesu This sort of thing is tolerated less than intellectual property theft as the protection of the environment is top priority amongst Canadians
@moosekansoku@minatokumindesu Something odd I’ve noticed from keeping a close eye on police releases is that many Chinese people in Canada get caught stealing turtles from the wild.
@minatokumindesu@moosekansoku She seemed quite remorseful after getting caught saying: "I certainly owed my success to Canada, the most peaceful and multicultural country in the world, and I really felt proud as a Canadian," She likely didn’t have much choice but to spy on behalf of the Chinese government
@minatokumindesu@moosekansoku I believe the Chinese government monitors its diaspora and pressures anyone in a position to give beneficial information to Beijing. There was a high profile case in 2021 of a Chinese woman who stole virus samples and sensitive information from Canadas top infectious disease lab
@moosekansoku@minatokumindesu They’re generally good people in terms of upholding public order and contributing economically. Where there have been problems is intellectual property theft and broader espionage. But they’re probably forced to do it to some degree. You’d never see a Chinese Canadian be violent
