EXPOSING A CHINESE SPY NETWORK IN CANADA

Bo Fan’s connection to TGSA has been confirmed. She arrived in Canada as a Chinese national in February 2019 and worked for the cult/multi-level marketing company. It turns out that TGSA has another dimension: para-military training. Those camo-clad men and women in PLA-style gear “Banana Joe” captured on video on Salt Spring Island are connected to TGSA. Some travel from overseas to undergo this military training, which takes place at a resort owned by a Chinese citizen. Why?

Prior to the rebrand, when TGSA was still called Create Abundance, the Chinese government did two curious things. One, it officially dubbed the group a cult and arrested and tried the niece of its leader. That may have been a show trial. Her social media indicates she was free to travel, not imprisoned. Two, the Chinese government created a foundation, the Beijing Abundance Foundation, through which it can donate to Create Abundance (now TGSA). Why would it prosecute the group as a cult on the one hand, and create a means to donate to it on the other?

And why is that group operating on Canadian soil, where its members undergo extensive paramilitary training, with weapons that Canadians are banned from owning, and wearing camouflage that, it turns out, matches a pattern used by China’s People’s Liberation Army in its navy and special forces? Is TGSA connected to China’s United Front, the organizational means by which China’s government influences foreign governments and media?

While IHIT searches for clues to Bo Fan’s murder, Create Abundance is now the focus of Canada’s counter-terrorism force, the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team.
