China spying on us: CSIS

[CHIMO]

Visiting students, scientists steal Canadian technology

OTTAWA - China's intelligence services have systematically targeted Canada's science and technology sectors and use Chinese students and visiting scientists to steal technology for military use and to enhance the country's global economic competitiveness, a senior intelligence source says.

In its annual report to Parliament, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warns foreign spies are seeking to acquire ''Canada's scientific and technological developments, critical economic and information infrastructure, military and other classified information, putting at risk Canada's national security.''

CSIS does not cite a specific country, but a high-level intelligence source identifies China as the ''most aggressive'' in seeking to illegally acquire Canadian technology.

China uses visiting students, scientists, business people and delegations to obtain industrial secrets and high-technology that will benefit Chinese companies and its military-industrial complex, said the source, who asked not to be identified for national security reasons.

Guess that we have to take the publisher at his word as the source wishes to remain anonymous. Sounds familiar.

Here we go. Free enterprise, but only for the certain capitalists.

Don't look at this!

[CHIMO]

[Maple]

7. It's right in the part you posted !

Didn't you read it??

[CHIMO]

8. What I Posted

Please re-read the post and the article and provide a relevant reference for your assertion.

Thank You

9. Its from their annual report

to Parliament, with remarks from a senior intelligence official.

Who do you think it is, the janitor? A NatPost reporter?

It's an accurate report about CSIS from CSIS.

Why are you getting snippy with me over something you posted, but apparently can't read??

[CHIMO]

11. It Is

An unnamed source.

Again I would ask that you re-read the article.

Yes we can expect that we are being spied upon. In times of peace spying is done for economic advantage.

Nowhere in the article do I see that China is the country identified as spying upon us.

13. Okay have it your way

the unnamed senior intelligence official was really the janitor.

Nobody is spying on us, and CSIS made no report at all.

Why did you post this then? Sheesh.

[CHIMO]

16. If You

Read or listen/watch the second reference that I posted, then it will show how the economic system is being influenced by matters outside of the profit sheet that is put in front of us.
Also it is an item that may be put up as a reason to bloc the purchase of some of the companies that are harvesting our resources.

This would tend to reduce the fair price that we deserve for our resources.

3. Consider the source

National Post = CanWest = Canada's Murdoch-lite.

[CHIMO]

4. Wouldn't Call

It lite. Except that they do not have the resources yet. But in every other category I would say that they match or exceed Murder Doc.

10. "Free enterprise" for some,...self-preservation for the rest.

Funny how we excuse our own similar intrusions,...while simultaneously condemning others for engaging in defensive actions.

*sigh*

We started it.

12. Is it really so easy to do?

"China uses visiting students, scientists, business people and delegations to obtain industrial secrets and high-technology that will benefit Chinese companies and its military-industrial complex, said the source, who asked not to be identified for national security reasons."

Is our security really that bad? If so, what's preventing my waspy-Canadian self from doing exactly the same thing for my own nefarious schemes?

14. This is nothing new

Both the Chinese and the French are quite notorious in their industrial espionage activities.

It's naive to dismiss such reports as paranoia.

15. Well, duh. China... and everyone else is spying on everyone

hello, what else is new?
