“I’ve actually had specific cases where Canadian authorities worked hand in hand with the military police service of China," claimed Joel Etienne, a human rights lawyer.

Human rights lawyers are warning that Mark Carney’s secret policing agreement with China risks legitimizing Beijing’s transnational repression, after alleging Chinese military police have already operated alongside the RCMP in Canada.

Speaking at a House of Commons press conference this week, prominent human rights lawyers said Canada’s new memorandum of understanding (MOU) with China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) could deepen cooperation with the same security apparatus accused of operating illegal police stations abroad and targeting dissidents overseas.
