“Biggest Transnational Crime Group on Earth”: Why Canada Must Break Free From China

A group of top national security experts is sounding the alarm: Canada’s relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has crossed from economic engagement into a full-blown democratic threat.

At a Dec. 6 forum in Toronto, former RCMP proceeds-of-crime director Garry Clement called the CCP “the biggest transnational organized crime group ever seen,” warning that Beijing is actively infiltrating Canada’s political, business, and cultural institutions. Through the United Front Work Department, the CCP co-opts elites, business leaders, community organizations, and media outlets—while intimidating and surveilling dissidents “on a daily basis.”

Clement also linked Beijing to the fentanyl crisis, saying the CCP could shut down precursor shipments to Canada “if they really wanted to,” but instead allows the flow as a form of “disruptive warfare,” echoing the tactics of the Opium Wars.

Dean Baxendale, CEO of the China Democracy Fund, described the CCP’s presence in Canada as “warfare without combat”—hybrid operations involving cyber-espionage, organized crime, financial coercion, port influence, propaganda networks, and targeted manipulation of public opinion. He warned that China’s reach touches everything from universities to housing markets to local elections.

Dr. Maria Cheung emphasized that Canadian intelligence agencies identify the CCP as the most sophisticated and persistent foreign interference actor targeting Canada, weaponizing media, lawfare, and psychological pressure to silence critics and reshape Canadian discourse.

Human rights lawyer David Matas detailed multiple cases of transnational repression on Canadian soil—from Falun Gong practitioners being targeted and expelled from community groups, to consular officials distributing hate material, to foreign events about human rights in China being shut down under CCP pressure.

The experts all delivered the same message: Canada is being manipulated, infiltrated, and coerced by a hostile foreign power—and the relationship is now a liability, not an asset.

Their call to action is blunt: Canadians must push for legislative reforms, stronger law enforcement tools, diaspora protection, digital literacy, and public awareness—and above all, recognize that the CCP’s grip on our institutions is not normal and cannot continue.

Canada must decouple—politically, economically, and institutionally—from the CCP’s influence before the damage becomes irreversible.
