It would appear to an objective observer that Canada is being gobbled up by the Chinese Communist Party. The average Canadian does not know that the CCP has “police” stations set up inside Canada to “monitor,” that is to say threaten, Chinese who now have Canadian passports.

For decades, Canada believed it could gently shape China into a responsible globalactor through diplomacy, commerce, and cultural exchange. But as this clear-eyed, searing account reveals, it was China that ended up reshaping us. In The Beaver and The Dragon, acclaimed sinologist Charles Burton takes readers inside Canada’s most fateful geopolitical miscalculation. . .

But Burton also leaves us with a challenge ― and a hope ― that democratic resilience can reclaim the future.
