Don't blame China for engaging in efforts that all major nations do. If you lose your citizens trust in government, especially as it pertains to civil liberties, transparency and opportunity, you will lose your nation.
It would be interesting to view Chinas intel assessment of Canada: "an unaccountable police state situated beside America and to which they have a relatively good reputation with U.S citizens. If one can work the levers of their police apparatus and accompanied lack of patriotism we can influence their elections, policy and recruit their disenchanted talent".
This can't be too far off from their general view of Canada, From the RCMP, OPP to the TPS, Canadian policing have proven themselves to be a major National Security Threat. Our enemies will continue to decide our election victors.

OTTAWA — MPs decided Monday to look into recent reports that China interfered in the 2019 Canadian election, as it remained unclear whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would raise the issue directly with the Chinese president.
The House of Commons procedure and house affairs committee voted Monday to call as witnesses Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, the prime minister’s national security adviser and officials from Elections Canada and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
Global News first reported on Nov. 7 that intelligence officials had briefed the prime minister on a campaign of foreign interference from China, including funding at least 11 candidates in the 2019 federal election.
China also placed agents into MPs’ offices, tried to corrupt former Canadian officials, and put in place “aggressive campaigns” against politicians viewed as contrary to its interests, according to the Global News story. Trudeau and unidentified cabinet members were first briefed in January, Global said.
Trudeau is currently visiting Southeast Asia, and spoke at the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, on Monday. Also attending is Chinese President Xi Jinping, though the Canadian Press reported Monday neither Trudeau nor Joly would say whether they’ve asked for a meeting with Xi.
