China has become part of the B.C. provincial election. With voting day a little more than a week away, a group of activists is tracking and labelling provincial politicians based on their sympathies towards Beijing.
The campaign, calling itself “No BC for Xi” lists candidates in the election — from all parties — on an online website, and labels them as to whether or not they are “CCP leaning” or “against CCP interference.” CCP refers to the Chinese Communist Party.
Lee Haber, one of the volunteers with No BC for Xi, and a volunteer with Alliance Canada Hong Kong, said the campaign is meant to give information to voters and raise awareness of China’s activities abroad.
“The Chinese Communist Party is not just a threat to people within China,” he said. “The Chinese government looks at municipal and provincial governments as a way of spreading its influence.”
