Analysis by Rapid Response Mechanism Canada Shows CCP's Interference in Canadian Elections
An analysis by Rapid Response Mechanism Canada alleges the Chinese Communist Party conducted a disinformation campaign to influence Canadian elections, targeting Chinese Canadians.
It is reported that an analysis report of Rapid Response Mechanism Canada (RRM Canada), which tracks foreign interference pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) implemented a disinformation campaign to prevent Chinese Canadians from voting for the Conservative Party in the last federal election.
The report stated that the agency manually reviewed Chinese social media platforms including WeChat, Douban, Weibo, Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), Xigua and Bilibili, and conducted open-source forensic digital analysis using website archives, social listening tools, and cross-platform social media ranking tools. It shows that the CCP interfered in Canada’s last general election by spreading disinformation.
Erin O’Toole, who is no longer leader, claimed that the Conservatives lost eight or nine seats to foreign interference from Communist China.
RRM Canada, based at Global Affairs Canada, produces open data analysis to chart trends, strategies and tactics in foreign interference. The analysis of messaging about the Conservative party was part of RRM Canada’s effort to monitor the digital information environment.
