Former Canadian Mountie Charged with Assisting China in Target Intimidation

A retired Canadian Mountie, William Majcher, has been charged with foreign interference on behalf of China after a two-year investigation. Majcher allegedly used his contacts in Canada to assist China in "intimidating an individual outside the scope of Canadian law." Canadian officials have repeatedly warned of ongoing Chinese intelligence activities in the country, targeting members of parliament and Chinese dissidents. China has denied the allegations. Majcher faces two criminal charges under Canada's Security of Information Act. The investigation is unrelated to Canadian politics or elections but highlights growing concerns over alleged Chinese espionage activities in Canada.
