How Beijing targets Chinese Canadians through foreign influence operations, March 3, 2023

Alliance Canada Hong Kong executive director Cherie Wong joined Power & Politics Friday to discuss how Beijing targets Chinese Canadians. Akshay Singh and Dennis Molinaro, two experts in foreign influence operations in Canada, also weigh in on the scale and goals of foreign interference activities in Canada.

There is an important distinction being made here that the foreign interference from China seeks to be pervasive by co-opting individuals, institutions, and community groups. The interest and influence is party agnostic and sees us in the Chinese diaspora as an entry point: whether in support of certain electoral and policy outcomes, controlling what information gets propagated into the communities, appropriating issues like discrimination and increasing distrust in our own systems and institutions, or directly and indirectly targeting people of interest.

***

It has been strongly implied in the recent reporting about Chinese interference in Canada that it has been a failing (if not to the benefit) of the Liberal government and Trudeau, rather than systematic attempts to influence Canadian politics and economics for decades coupled with our country’s complete underestimation of China and the United Front.

In my own experience the Chinese-Canadian media and political consumption has undergone an extreme shift into partisanship with clear pro-China and anti-China camps rather than aligning into our political parties.

The faltering of Hong Kong-based press, media, political freedom, and  ties with Taiwan and the greater diaspora community has seriously depleted any sort of moderate and critical voices in English or Chinese coming directly from the region, with writers and journalists re-immigrating or retreating from public view. 

Cold War rhetoric and posturing over Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, as well as exposed espionage and foreign interference operations is opening new fault lines within and directed at diaspora while deepening the isolation of the domestic Chinese population. 

The pop cultural center has moved with the economic affluence into the Mainland, catered to and directly influenced by a network of state-run broadcasters and private corporations ultimately answerable to the Chinese government. It can be difficult to engage with any of it as entertainment let alone to keep up with news without expending a lot of energy consuming it critically.

Tangentially but also related, many of Hong Kong’s pro-democratic political figures (the Hong Kong 47) that interacted with the outside and independent press or engaged other countries in the aftermath of the 2019-2020 protests and subsequent political organizing have been effectively silenced, charged, and/or jailed. They are only now being formally sentenced under the highly controversial Hong Kong national security law.

The political reverberations led to a postponed and then uncontested election for their legislative and executive body without any substantive opposition, the closure of multiple news organizations, civic rights groups and unions, the local polling institute, and the effective silencing of editorial independence at their public broadcaster.

Self-censorship and the chilling affect is extremely strong by those regions directly affected as well as the diaspora communities, out of fear or apathetic hopelessness it is eroding our ability to speak, associate, or engage with these issues freely no matter where we are.

As a follow up to my favorite books of the first quarter of the year, here are some of my favorites from April, May, June! In no particular order, just in the order I read them.

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty is a fun, pirate fantasy adventure featuring one of my recently realized favorite tropes: getting the band back together. A retired female pirate just wants to live a quiet life raising her young daughter, when she is recruited to rescue the child of a former crewmate. She must reunite with her old crew and save the day. Killer cover, fun story.

Chlorine by Jade Song is a coming of age body horror novel about a teenaged girl who will do anything to become a mermaid. Slow burn- you know what will happen from the beginning, but it's a deep dive into the mind of this queer young swimmer to watch her get there.

Malice by Keigo Higashino is a Japanese novel translated by Alexander O. Smith about a detective determined to uncover the motive behind the murder of a famous novelist. Loved this why-done-it.

We See Each Other: A Black, Trans Journey Through TV and Film by Tre'vell Anderson is a nonfiction exploration of Black trans representation in pop culture and history, as well as moments from the author's own life. Looks at everything To Wong Foo to Pose to Survivor.

Don't Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones is the second book in the Indian Lake Trilogy. SGJ is my favorite horror author but his work and ESPECIALLY these books are not for everyone. People either love or hate this series and what can I say? I get it. Graphic here.

VenCo by Cherie Dimaline is about a young Indigenous woman who has to go on an adventure with her unusual and elderly grandmother after she discovers that she's one of seven witches to usher in a new era of power.

Madame Restell by Jennifer Wright is a nonfiction book about a famous abortionist in pre-Gilded Age New York. I found it fascinating, if not incredibly depressing, with how much we recycle the same arguments over and over again. Great read. Trigger warnings for this one, from childbirth to abortion to racism to misogyny.

Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati is a Greek mythology retelling on the titular murderer. As a Clytemnestra apologist, I really liked this. I kind of think so many of Greek retellings these days are all very similar, in writing style & theme so I feel like if you've read one of these recent retellings you've read them all, but I liked it!

Hamra & the Jungle of Memories by Hanna Alkaf is a Little Red Riding Hood retelling set in modern Malaysia, where a girl in a red hijab must help a tiger return to his human form. Really a beautiful story about humanity, grief, and what it means to make mistakes. Also just a fun adventure. Loved it. Graphic here.

You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron is another final girl horror novel. Look, I'm gonna read all of them and I'm gonna love all of them! You give me a final girl and I'm gonna eat it up. You give me a queer Black final girl trying to survive the night at her camp recreating a famous (fictional) horror movie while trying to protect her girlfriend? Yum, yum, yum.

Honorable mentions: Ayoade on Top is Richard Ayoade's definitive tome on the Gwenyth Paltrow film View From the Top. Get the audiobook for this one for sure! The Three Dahlias is a fun cozy mystery, and Saint Juniper's Folly is a fun queer modern fantasy adventure.

Chow Yun-fat and Cherie Chung in An Autumn's Tale (Mabel Cheung, 1987)

Cast: Chow Yun-fat, Cherie Chung, Danny Chan, Arthur Fulbright, Gigi Wong, Joyce Houseknecht. Screenplay: Alex Law, Low Chi-Yeuh. Cinematography: David Chung, James Hayman. Production design: Christy Addis. Film editing: Chu Sun-Kit. Music: Lowell Lo. 

The chemistry between Chow Yun-fat and Cherie Chung animates the somewhat rough-edged romance of Samuel Pang (Chow) , a thirtysomething slacker, and Jennifer Lee (Chung), a twentysomething woman who arrives in New York expecting to meet her boyfriend, Vincent (Danny Chan), only to find he has a new girlfriend and is moving to Boston. Samuel, known as Figgy (short for Figurehead, a reference to his years as a sailor), takes her under his wing, though she's put off by his slacker ways -- he survives mainly by gambling and carousing with his pals. As in any good romance, she loosens up and he straightens up, though not without the usual backsliding. The film gives some fresh twists to the usual romcom tropes.

The Hong Kong New Wave

For today’s blog post, I wanted to switch it up, and focus on a generalized overview of an important movement within Hong Kong cinema. This particular movement I wanted to ensure did not only impact Hong Kong action films, but a plethora of others as well. The movement that I chose to focus on is the Hong Kong New Wave. This period took place in the late 1970’s and continued into the late 90’s. This new era of film was encouraged by Westernized ideas. Many notable filmmakers were now producing films and content that were competing quite well against Hollywood films. Furthermore, this new era was quite different from Chinese cinema. One of the many acclaimed directors from this time, Wong Kar-Wai, boldly stated, “This is what the difference is between Hong Kong and Chinese cinema - Chinese cinema was made for their own communities. It was for propaganda. But Hong Kong made films to entertain, and they know how to communicate with international audiences.” (Movements in Film). It is very interesting to note how different these two types of cinema are. Furthermore, it is important to recognize how much more Hong Kong cinema progressed during and leaving this era. The two videos demonstrate a little more about the history of the Hong Kong New Wave.  

While researching this topic, I wanted to see what other directors that I would come across. The two that come up first, as assumed by anyone who dabbles in Hong Kong cinema, were Tsui Hark and John Woo. Both directors pushed the limits of action cinema, often pushing past any boundaries and trying new things. Specifically, Tsui was known to do this. According to other film sources, “Set in the years just before the Japanese invasion, Peking Opera Blues follows a trio of women (Brigitte Lin, Cherie Chung and Sally Yeh) who get mixed up in a scheme to steal an important something from a local warlord. With deft action and comic sequences and a shockingly progressive (certainly for Hong Kong in the ’80s) feminist approach (led by Lin’s gender-nonconforming heroine), Peking Opera Blues is as close to perfect as the popular cinema gets.” (Gilman, 2017). It is quite fascinating to think about these concepts being explored this early on, considering that a lot of films in the 80’s particularly was more conservative (traditional) with the concepts that they explored. Consequently, it is clear that the Hong Kong New Wave provided this sense of security for creative freedom.  

As I continued my research, I found that John Woo faced many other obstacles when navigating his work. Woo was struggling to manage his career while having depression and substance abuse issues, Tsui took him in to collaborate on projects together. Thus, creating a further emphasis of their power over this movement.  

Sadly, this New Wave concluded by the late 90’s due to lack of funding, which then had a domino effect that impacted the ability of filmmakers to be able to have as much creative freedom as they had before.

My parents were so poor they got married for the rice. 

I've got more legs than a bucket of chicken!

Why do I feel like I'm in the Tournament of Roses Parade?

Do you like my nails?

Internal combustion, the ultimate accessory.

What in gay hell?

We are three young career girls...

Now she's going to get herself kidnapped by some mountain man and we will have to go rescue her!

I want you to believe in yourself, imagine good things, and moisturize.

If we're going to be friends, there really is something I should tell you...

Your approval is not needed.

Approval neither desired nor required. 

It's the age-old dilemma- style... or substance.

I've waited my whole life to hear those words said to that name. 

After all we've done to include you, you would leave us so quickly?

Hun, do you like, ever, not cry in this room?

I think of you as an angel.

Does everything have to be a joke with you?

This is not a masquerade! This is real life!

Patience mon cheri. 

You have the potential of a lifetime and you are squandering it.

No. There are times when you help people, and there are times when if you help people you might get killed, so you don't help people.

No one say anything frivolous for the next few moments. I am having a significant experience.

I've had enough of this conversation, I'm hungry.

You know, I used to know a lawyer guy who had a car just like this, and I said right then and there I was gonna have one for myself. 

I mean, now I realize that... you gotta take chances. 

I mean, what the hell! I'm not gonna worry about if people accept me or not. 

Why she always gotta have the last word, huh?

It's like living in a Tex Avery cartoon.

Ready or not, here comes mama!

Maps are for cheating.

Don't do that! Don't do that! What are you doing?

I'm a loser, I hate myself, I hate my life, I hate everything!

Oh no! No You're a winner, why you look like! You are a winner!

And where is the body?
