Allegations of Chinese political interference have emerged across various Western democracies, with cases identified in Britain, Canada, Australia, and several European nations.
China's covert operations typically aim to recruit members of the Chinese diaspora to infiltrate political systems or silence dissenting voices, reflecting a proactive strategy to influence democracies.
Historically, Chinese foreign meddling has focused on acquiring industrial secrets and technology, targeting sectors critical for maintaining military and economic superiority, especially against the United States.
The suspected increase in Chinese interference emphasizes the broader pattern of geopolitical competition, where nations target internal systems to manipulate and influence foreign politics.
