On May 3, the Commissioner of Canada's Foreign Interference Commission released its Initial Report, once again harping on the same old tune of attacking China for interfering in Canada's internal affairs. The Report smears China as the “most persistent and sophisticated foreign interference threat to Canada.” We express our strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.

The accusation of “China's interference in Canada's internal affairs” is a baseless political fabrication. China has consistently upheld the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. We have never meddled in Canada's internal affairs，nor do we have any intention to do so. The attempts by certain Canadian politicians to shift blame onto China for their own electoral failures are unfair and unethical, revealing their self-serving and shameless nature.

The Report is riddled with contradictions and ideological bias and lacks credibility. It uses terms like “may”, “might”, “potential” and other misleading words. It claims to derive conclusions from “intelligence” yet also states that “intelligence is not proven fact”. “Not all of the information provided below necessarily has been corroborated or fully assessed”. Such contradictory statements undermine the Report's validity and suggest a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.

Canada has a record of grossly interfering in China's domestic affairs on issues concerning China's core interests, including Taiwan, Xinjiang, Xizang, and Hong Kong. It seeks to undermine China's security and stability by overtly and covertly condoning and supporting separatist activities. These are clear and well-grounded facts. It is pronounced who the victim of foreign interference is.

What Canada is doing is just like a thief calling on people to catch a thief. We urge the Canadian side to respect the facts, abandon ideological bias, and stop groundlessly attacking China.
