China tried to meddle but Canadians decided the last two elections, says PM Trudeau
reut.rs/49NfyOJ
Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence
- Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.
- Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.
- Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.
- Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.

Quick Glance: US-China Conflict: The Role of the Party
- The US House of Representatives established a special panel to counter Beijing's growing global influence. Committee Chair Mike Gallagher emphasized the need to differentiate between the CCP and the Chinese people.
- Tensions could stem from China's rise as a superpower or the political direction of the CCP under Xi Jinping. Experts discuss China's historical phases and Xi's role in the current crisis.
- Past periods under the KMT and Deng Xiaoping serve as points of comparison. Western concern over China was previously not ideologically driven, but has evolved over time due to political and economic developments.
- China's increasing seclusion and the leadership's self-assurance under Xi have led to tensions. The US government aims for a balanced relationship but warns against destabilizing actions. The future of US-China relations remains uncertain.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Fitch lowers China's rating outlook due to economic uncertainty
- Fitch cut its outlook on China's sovereign credit rating to negative on Wednesday, citing risks to public finances arising from the increasing uncertainty in the economy's transition to new growth models.
- The outlook downgrade follows a similar move by Moody's in December and coincides with Beijing's efforts to boost a weak post-COVID recovery in the world's second-largest economy with fiscal and monetary support.
- It is projected that China's explicit central and local government debt will increase to 61.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024 from 56.1% in 2023 - a significant deterioration from 38.5% in 2019.
- Despite cautious signs of improvement in China's economy, the ratings warning is issued. The planned issuance of treasury bonds indicates Beijing's readiness to take on a greater share of the responsibility in meeting growth targets, while local governments struggle with slower fiscal revenues and subdued land sales.
