Former spy reveals how China hunts down targets in Canada and abroad

Hua Yong, a Chinese artist and prominent critic of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), died while kayaking in the coast of Northern B.C. back in November 2022. Despite it being over three years since Yong’s body was recovered, a coroner’s investigation into his cause of death remains ongoing.

Radio-Canada reporters, in conjunction with the fifth estate, and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, spoke with a former Chinese spy tasked with monitoring Yong to learn how the CCP uses its secret police force to suppress dissent by silencing critics abroad.
