China: A broader strategic partner for Canada or an opportunity for an experienced adversary playing the long game to take advantage. Is China a legitimate economic counter balance or are we facilitating the intelligence operations of a country that is a leading source of foreign interference in Canada?

Mr. Burton is a frequent commentator on Chinese affairs in newspapers, radio and television. He was a Counsellor at the Canadian Embassy in China between 1991-1993 and 1998-2000, and had previously worked at Canada’s signals intelligence agency, the Communications Security Establishment.
Mr. Burton has published extensively on China’s domestic affairs and international relations including his most recent book: The Beaver and the Dragon: How China Out-Manoeuvred Canada’s Diplomacy, Security, and Sovereignty.
