"U.S. State Department Raises Alarm Over India-Linked Disinformation Threats in Canada"

The U.S. State Department has warned that Canada's ongoing dispute with India could be exploited by foreign players, including China, to spread disinformation. James Rubin, the co-ordinator of the Global Engagement Center, stated that Canada is "ripe" for manipulation, not just from within India. A new report highlights China's efforts to dominate the information space globally, including in Canada. The report also mentions how Chinese operatives used the WeChat messaging platform to discredit Ontario MP Michael Chong earlier this year.
