A Chinese dissident who died in a kayaking accident in British Columbia was allegedly being targeted by Chinese secret police agents at the time of his death, according to evidence from a former Chinese spy.
The former spy, known by the pseudonym “Eric,” who defected to Australia in 2023 and spoke with Australia’s ABC News last year, has now also shared with Canada’s public broadcaster his involvement in hunting Chinese dissidents around the world, according to a Dec. 4 Radio Canada report.
