A Canadian government task force has identified „coordinated and malicious activity“ on Chinese social media targeting former Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Freeland wants to succeed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party. The government agency SITE, whose task is to identify security threats in the election environment, referred to a whole series of articles aimed at denigrating Freeland and traced their origin back to a popular anonymous news channel on WeChat.
