China doesnt need to invade america it has canada
Confirmed
In Short: These activities suggest that China may not need to invade America directly, as it has already gained significant influence in Canada.
The Dailywire reported that China's influence in Canada is raising concerns over national security and sovereignty.
According to the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference, led by Justice Marie-Josée Hogue, China interfered in the 2019 and 2021 Canadian federal elections.
Some elected officials in Canada were found to have knowingly aided China, an adversary of the West, in some capacity.
At the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada’s highest-security biological facility, two scientists were removed and later fired for passing information to Chinese entities.
The question before Canada is larger than a trade dispute, as it involves the integrity of its democratic processes and national security.
Meanwhile, the SCO and BRICS summits indicate that Russia retains sufficient value to China, India, and other non-Western powers to pursue its war objectives.
The BRICS group includes countries that are strategic rivals, such as India and China, and states directly at war with one another, such as the UAE and Iran.
Retreating Arctic ice is opening shipping lanes around Greenland that could shorten trade routes between North America, Europe, and Asia.
The U.S. and Denmark have a deal to keep Greenland within North America’s strategic defense area while excluding adversaries such as Russia and China.
The full terms of the Greenland deal have not been made public, but it would leave Greenland under Danish sovereignty while barring China, Russia, and other non-NATO adversaries from establishing military bases or making certain sensitive investments on the island.
In discussions about A.I. research and the U.S.–China relationship, experts noted that China has made significant strides in computational sciences.
Even if China is copying Western A.I. models, limiting such models may not slow down China's development.
What this adds
The Dailywire's report adds to the concern over China's influence in Canada, highlighting the need for stronger measures to protect national security and democratic processes.
The sources have not established the full extent of China's influence in Canada or the specific actions taken by Canadian officials who were found to be aiding China.
The impact of China's A.I. development and its regulation remains unclear, as experts note that China's approach may differ from Western expectations.

What's still developing
- How relativism is leaving Canada’s doors open to Beijing.
- In Toronto, Montreal, and elsewhere, undeclared Chinese police stations were reported to be watching and pressuring members of its diaspora, people who had come to Canada to flee precisely this.
- Whoever holds the side door has little need to break down the front.
- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi tells his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi that China is “deeply distressed” over the war that has lasted more than two months and says a “comprehensive ceasefire” is needed.
- “We believe that a comprehensive ceasefire is urgently needed, that a resumption of hostilities is not acceptable, and that it is particularly important to remain committed to dialogue and negotiations,” Wang says, according to a video of the meeting.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and China President Xi Jinping join hands at the 18th BRICS summit at New Delhi, India, Sept.
- For the past few weeks, I’ve been emailing and calling people who spend a lot of time on either A.I. research or the U.S.–China relationship.
- Thierer made the point that China has made big strides in computational sciences and that its A.I. development can’t possibly be explained solely by intellectual property theft.
- They equate regulation with an American slowdown that would put Chinese A.I.
- The only guardrail we needed was “a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT.” It sounds like we’re all good, then, no regulation or negotiation required.
- “These countries can still hold each other’s hands when it comes to the basics: recognition that there is a common challenge in the excess capacity coming from China,” said one person with knowledge of the preparations.
- In recent talks with the government of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, for example, the U.S. sought to prevent countries using Canada as a back door for cheap steel products to enter the U.S., according to Canada’s top negotiator.
