With McCallum gone, a new “steady hand at the tiller” in Beijing as anger erupts in China

Still, observers questioned how much difference an individual ambassador can make in a country whose leadership regularly repulses foreign interventions by telling others not to interfere in its internal business. Even when Mr. McCallum last week echoed arguments from China about the politicization of the case against Ms. Meng, Beijing responded only by reiterating its demand for her release.

“With or without McCallum, I don’t think it makes a difference as I don’t think he had any effect on the situation,” said Michael Yen, a Canadian business consultant who has lived in China for three years.

For Mr. Yen, watching the events of recent weeks has been a dispiriting experience.

“The public threats from the Chinese government regarding Huawei and these arbitrary arrests have shown me that China isn’t an option for long-term business, nor for settling down,” he said.

Claws of the Panda: Beijing's Campaign of Influence and Intimidation in Canada 

Claws of the Panda tells the story of Canada’s failure to construct a workable policy towards the People’s Republic of China. In particular the book tells of Ottawa’s failure to recognize and confront the efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate and influence Canadian politics, academia, and media, and to exert control over Canadians of Chinese heritage. Claws of the Panda gives a detailed description of the CCP’s campaign to embed agents of influence in Canadian business, politics, media and academia. The party’s aims are to be able to turn Canadian public policy to China’s advantage, to acquire useful technology and intellectual property, to influence Canada’s international diplomacy, and, most important, to be able to monitor and intimidate Chinese Canadians and others it considers dissidents. The book traces the evolution of the Canada-China relationship over nearly 150 years. It shows how Canadian leaders have constantly misjudged the reality and potential of the relationship while the CCP and its agents have benefited from Canadian naivete. (2018-08-01)

Detained writer Yang Hengjun left letter calling for a more democratic China

Australian-Chinese activist held on espionage charges implores supporters to push for freedom

​

 A letter written by Yang Hengjun, who is in home detention in China, has been given to the media.

An Australian-Chinese writer detained on espionage charges left a letter calling for a more democratic China, with instructions to release it if he was arrested.

Yang Hengjun, who was detained on 19 January, is being held in Beijing on suspicion of endangering China’s national security.

The letter, written in 2011, has been given to the media by a friend, the Sydney academic Dr Feng Chongyi, after it became apparent that Yang would not be released anytime soon.

In the letter, Yang urges activists to “maintain belief in China’s democratic future, and, when it doesn’t put yourself or your family at risk, to use all your means to push China’s democratic development to happen sooner”.

He implores his supporters to push for “freedom, human rights, the rule of law, and justice to occur sooner” in China.

“If I can come out, I will continue my work,” he wrote. “If I cannot come out or disappear again, remember my articles and let your children read them.”

He apologised for not being honest about his earlier arrest in China in 2011, explaining that it was not due to a “misunderstanding”. In fact, he said, he had been abducted by government agents.

“If I came out and said ‘the truth’, the authorities concerned would have been intolerable for a while, however, I can no longer return to China anyway, and can no longer continue to spread … freedom and democracy – which I was already doing with some scope,” he wrote.

“I really believe that in China, spreading the philosophy [of democracy] is a vital task. I will definitely continue to use my methods to contribute to China’s democracy.”

Yang has been an Australian citizen since 2002. The 53-year-old had been living in New York as a visiting scholar at Columbia University, before leaving for Guangzhou on 18 January.

He was prevented from boarding his connecting flight to Shanghai with his wife and daughter and is said to be under residential surveillance in Beijing, which is similar to home detention.
