China’s Economic Miracle Was Built on Mass Displacement. If you think the CCP will treat foreigners better than its own people, when it extends its power over you, please think again: Dimon Liu’s warning to Canadian Parliament, warns Dimon Liu Dimon Liu, a China-born, Washington, D.C.-based democracy advocate who testified in Parliament to the Canada’s House of Commons committee on International Human Rights on December 8, 2025, about the human cost of China’s economic rise.
Liu argues that the Canadian government should tighten scrutiny of high-risk trade and investment, and ensure Canada’s foreign policy does not inadvertently reward coercion.
Liu also warns that the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] could gain leverage over Canadians and treat them as it has done to its own subjugated population—an implied message to Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has pledged to engage China as a strategic partner without making that position clear to Canadians during his election campaign.

If you have ever wondered how China managed to grow so fast in such a short time, Charles Li, former CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has the answers for you. He listed 4 reasons: 1) cheapest land, 2) cheapest labor, 3) cheapest capital, and 4) disregard of environmental costs … “The cheapest land” because the CCP government took the land from the farmers at little to no compensation. “The cheapest labor,” because these farmers, without land to farm, were forced to find work in urban areas at very low wages …
One well known incident of eviction occurred in November 2017. Cai Qi, now the second most powerful man in China after Xi Jinping, was a municipal official in Beijing. He evicted tens of thousands into Beijing’s harsh winter, with only days, or just moments of notice. Cai Qi made famous a term, “low-end population” (低端人口), and exposed CCP’s contempt of rural migrants it treats as second class citizens.
“The cheapest capital” is acquired through predatory banking practices, and through the stock markets, first to rake in the savings of the Chinese people; and later international investments by listing opaque, and state owned enterprises in leading stock markets around the world.
Chinese Communist officials often laud their system as superior. The essayist Qin Hui has written that the Chinese communist government enjoys a human rights abuse advantage. This is true. By abusing its own people so brutally, the CCP regime has created an image of success, which will prove to be a mirage.
thebureau.news is not a worthwhile source of information. It was founded by Sam Cooper after he was fired from Global News for his shoddy “journalism”.

It’s fine to be critical and wary of China. But when you sink to using The Bureau as a source it’s hard not to think you’re agenda posting.
Yep, this OP is another clear piece of propaganda preying upon gaps in people’s knowledge and served up by the same sock puppet account that’s always at it in this community. Scotty is actually the type of account used for influence campaigning that Canadians should be wary of.

This is word by word the testimony to Canada’s House of Commons committee on International Human Rights from Dimon Liu, a democracy advocate. It has nothing to do with “The Bureau” or anything else.
Reading comprehension is a strong asset nowadays, and this second-hand intimidation doesn’t make the lack of it any better.
It’s reading comprehension and media literacy that has numerous participants here recognizing your account as a bad faith actor. If anything, it’s a testament to the literacy levels of people noticing.
Also, anyone who’s literate in the process used by the DoD and other US security stakeholders to advance and legitimize narratives, policy and strategy via think tanks and foundations to serve US security interests will see right through the framing of Dimon Liu as a mere “democracy advocate.”
You forgot this part:
Also,
Please. Spare me.
And? If he lived in China he forcibly disappeared after his remarks.
Canada (and the rest of the democratic world) should be grateful that people like Mr. Liu speak out.
And your communication doesn’t show good faith to say the least. First, you question the source. When it’s clear that it’s a literal statement by a person, you question the person. What comes next?
His place of living doesn’t play a role and has nothing to do with the content. He is born in China and knows the country and its government, and he gave a damning testimony about China’s trade policy and reliability.
Clearly, you are very familiar with HER background lol
Thanks. If you find another typo, feel free to spot it, I am out of this discussion anyway.
The same “typo” three times in one sentence… what are the chances? lol
Propaganda fail. Bad sock puppet.
No, I still question the source. The Bureau is trash and it hurts your credibility a lot to use it. It’s not the first time you’ve gone to that poisoned well, either.
And you don’t think someone being hosted by the US could possibly have any reason to paint China as especially hostile?
Canada and the West bad, China good, ha?
No, Canada’s great. The US can fuck off, though.
The next distraction. This has nothing to do with the US here (spoiler: It’s about a country in the East.)
I end this discussion now, that’s a waste of time.
