SPY AGENCY WARNED TRUDEAU CHINA'S MEDIA TACTICS BECOMING MORE SOPHISTICATED

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: As Canada's spy agency warns that China's efforts to distort the news & influence media outlets in Canada "have become normalized" critics are renewing calls to take a far tougher approach to foreign media interference.

The meeting focused on the rise of foreign interference in Canada- something CSIS says has become "more sophisticated, frequent, & insidious."

A report was released alleging The Chinese Communist party runs a sophisticated network that inserts Beijing friendly narratives into various media outlets.

The report says China has been exploiting a lack of oversight in short staffed newsrooms to push the party line abroad.
