Secret documents reveal Trudeau government virologists had “clandestine relationship” with Chinese agents
Counter Signal ^ | February 28, 2024 | KEEAN BEXTE

Documents authored by Canada’s top intelligence service reveal the long awaited explanation behind the abrupt departure of two virologists from Canada’s top biolaboratory.

...

The documents, which have been viewed by The Counter Signal and published here for our readers expose the Trudeau government for hiding the true reason for the departure of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu Canada’s Public Health agency.

...

Despite the Liberals citing the departure as a private “personnel issue,” the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) accuses Dr. Qiu of a long history of clandestine actions that put Canadians’ heath and security at risk, along with directly assisting military research in China.

Alongside selling deadly pathogens to Chinese authorities at the Wuhan Institute of Virology for just $75, Qui was also found to have hidden a Chinese bank account from CSIS.

“Further to our security assessment […], the Service assesses that Ms. Qiu developed deep, cooperative relationships with a variety of People’s Republic of China (PRC) institutions and has intentionally transferred scientific knowledge and materials to China in order to benefit the PRC Government, and herself, without regard for the implications to her employer or to Canada’s interests.”

...

“It is clear that Ms. Qiu […] made efforts to conceal her projects with PRC institutions. The Service further assesses that because of her extensive knowledge of the harmful effects of dangerous pathogens on human health, Ms. Qiu should have been aware of the possibility that her efforts to engage clandestinely with the PRC in these research areas could harm Canadian interests or international security.”

“Ms. Qiu repeatedly lied in her security screening interviews about the extent of her work with institutions of the PRC Government and refused to admit to any involvement in various PRC programs, even when documents [REDACTED] were put before her.”

“The Service also assesses that Ms. Qiu was reckless in her dealings with various PRC entities, particularly in her lack of respect for proper scientific protocols regarding the transfer of pathogens and in working with institutions whose goals have potentially lethal military applications that are manifestly not in the interests of Canada or its citizens.”

...

Qiu was shown to have given China agents direct access to Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory, a Biosafety Level 4 facility which houses Canada’s most secret and secure pathogenic diseases. These pathogens can be used in weaponry.

“Ms. Qiu also gave access to the [National Microbiology Laboratory] to at least two employees of a PRC institution whose work is not aligned with Canadian interests,” they stated.

Secretly working for Wuhan Lab...

CSIS also found that Qui was actively working with the Chinese Wuhan Virology Lab on a project that CSIS redacted and called “Project 1.” This project started January 1, 2019, just three months before she sent a shipment of materials to the Wuhan lab, and the project involved the study of mRNA vaccines.

Project 2 was cited by CSIS as being a “cross-species infection” program that could have been used for Gain-of-Function research into bat viruses.

...

CSIS reported that “at least five virus strains from that March 31, 2019 BSL-4 pathogen shipment from [Winnipeg] to [Wuhan] were referenced in the Wuhan Institute of Virology Project 1.”

Reaction from the Conservative Party

Opposition Leader Pierre Poilieve issued a scathing statement just prior to the publication of this story.

“Under Justin Trudeau’s watch, the PRC and its entities, including the People’s Liberation Army, were allowed to infiltrate Canada’s top level lab. They were able to transfer sensitive intellectual property and dangerous pathogens to the PRC.

“This is a massive national security failure by Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government, which he fought tooth and nail to cover up, including defying four parliamentary orders and taking the House of Commons Speaker to court. He cannot be trusted to keep our people and our country safe.

The Trudeau government did indeed sue the Speaker of the House of Commons to prevent the release of this information.

By ZI-ANN LUM, 09/16/2021
OTTAWA — Former U.S. President Barack Obama has tweeted his endorsement for Justin Trudeau in the closing days of a tight election campaign.
“Wishing my friend @JustinTrudeau the best in Canada’s upcoming election,” Obama shared on Thursday afternoon. “Justin has been an effective leader and strong voice for democratic values, and I’m proud of the work we did together.”
Trudeau responded by thanking his friend and added, “Progress is on the ballot — and we’re going to keep fighting for it.”
The former president’s tweet was immediately met with charges of election interference — a rebuke Obama also faced when he endorsed Trudeau in the final stretch of the 2019 federal election campaign. Canada’s chief electoral officer at the time said the endorsement was not considered foreign interference under current law “so long as it was not paid for or the person making it did not receive any form of payment.”

Little known fact. If you’re Chinese, then by Chinese law you MUST work as an agent for Chinese intelligence if they want you to. It doesn’t matter if you’ve gotten citizenship someplace else. They will make you cooperate. Their students will get jobs in labs and copy records and data all while using funding from the hosts.

No, his exact words are:

“There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say, ‘We need to go green … we need to start investing in solar.’”

And that’s why any country governed by sane, intelligent, and patriot leaders would ban any and all Chinese from working in any labs.
