CCP-affiliated Election Interference in British Columbia

The photo above was taken in February 2018, David Eby and Ding Guo, on the right, attended the Friends of Wenzhou Society banquet with Chinese Consul Tong Xiaoling (yellow jacket turned to podium).

Sam Cooper from Vancouver is the bravest reporter in Canada and it’s thanks to his news outlet “The Bureau” that we have great reporting on this and other BC topics.

In December 2021, then-Attorney General David Eby approved a $20,000 grant to the Canada Committee 100 Society (CCS100), a community organization led by Ding Guo, a prominent journalist from Shanghai.

Ostensibly aimed at supporting anti-racism initiatives and engaging recent Chinese immigrants, the grant has since come under scrutiny from experts and diaspora citizens due to the group’s documented links to Beijing’s United Front and political donors involved in Eby’s 2022 NDP leadership campaign.

A government press release cited Mr. Ding, a personal friend and advisor to Premier Eby, who stated,

“This project will help us gather detailed, relevant data on a wide scale. It will also provide opportunities for the Chinese Canadian community, including new immigrants, to engage in the legislative process.”

While this mission appears commendable, findings from The Bureau’s review of public records—including a report from the People’s Republic that credits CCS100 with mobilizing voters in the 2019 federal election—suggest a more complex narrative.
