The Canadian woman recently arrested by Belgian authorities on suspicion of spying appears to have worked for multiple government agencies before her NATO internship.

A CBC News investigation has identified the woman as Biwei Zhang, a systems engineer with a background in economics whose online resume suggests she previously worked for the Canadian Space Agency and Statistics Canada.

"The Public Service Commission determined that was fraud, a decision upheld by a 2024 judicial review" ...

After the fall of Hong Kong in 1999, there was a mass migration of Chinese into Canada ... if they could afford the fee.

Canada is the soft snowcap of America.  Canada is a great vector for infiltration of the US.
