Now I know this plan is foolproof. Check this out. First of all, you and me start studying in Canada. Doesn't matter the university, okay, just so long as we get in there, all right? Then we just go there every day, do the work, study, gain their trust until we get them in the palm of our hand.

All right. So how we get the intel?

That's the beauty of it, bro. They deposit the intel into our brains, week after week, month after month. They're not even gonna know they're being spied on. And then 4 or 6 years later, we graduate like nothing even happened.

go back to your own country and make it better instead of coming here and taking our jobs

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

The officer cited an article titled "Why is China Becoming a Microfluidics Superpower?" — which says microfluidic devices are important for new medical research — in support of his decision to reject Li.

Hate when spies want to advance medical science.

"As hostile state actors increasingly make use of non-traditional methods to obtain sensitive information in Canada or abroad, contrary to Canada's interests, the court's appreciation of what constitutes 'espionage' must evolve," he wrote in his December 22 decision, made public this week.

"The officer further noted that Mr. Li has a strong interest in microfluidics [...] and that he indicated in his study plans that he wanted to dedicate his career to improving China's underdevelopment of the application of advances to point-of-care technology in the field of public health," says the Federal Court decision.

The irony is that Canada's only chance of not having its entire lunch eaten by the US as their rapacious interests pull back from elsewhere in the world is to encourage Chinese interest in the country. Canada is a gnat in either relationship, but they'll make out better if they can negotiate between two powers instead of one.

Mainland Chinese would be better off not glamorizing universities in the Five Eyes countries that hate them even more than most Western countries do.

Canada with it's zero MEMS fabs is not a world leader in microfluidics.

I'm just kind of blown away.

Learning something in a foreign country and then taking it back to use in your country's domestic industry is what almost all foreign university students are doing, no?

Do they expect him to pay for four years of not learning and go back to China empty handed? How is this espionage? Fucking racist pricks,

So did they find any proof of electoral interference or secret police station yet? Or we are cooking the next china bad lore?

Not a single dissenting voice. Not even an activist or mention of rising anti-asian hate and rhetoric within Canada.

kkklanada

A Chinese person and a university freely entered into an agreement that the Chinese person would pay to learn freely available information. This is totally ridiculous. China is moving the world ahead on a rate that rivaled the early Soviet Union's space program. The west has their head in the sand, because it won't be more than another generation before China leaves them behind. Once students STOP coming here for an education, it will be too late.

Canada ensuring the century of humiliation is going to come for them lol

There's no way this isn't in retaliation for China justifiably detaining the Michaels for espionage

I didn't see the link and reported this in error. Apologies to the mods.

Fucking Canada I swear to god

The only way for Canada to remain internationally relevant is to brain drain from the Global South faster than the US can.
