In a chilling tale of soft power, corruption, and covert influence, Canada Under Siege pulls back the curtain on how the Chinese Communist Party quietly turned Prince Edward Island into a strategic forward operating base-right under the noses of Islanders and Ottawa alike.
Drawing from a nearly two-year investigation by veteran intelligence officer and Chief of Asia Pacific (CSIS) Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former RCMP financial crime chief Garry Clement, and publisher Dean Baxendale, this groundbreaking exposé follows the money, the land grabs, the political manipulation, and the elites, captured or compromised. This is not fiction. With whistleblower testimony, court documents, and explosive first-hand accounts stretching from Charlottetown to Taiwan, this book connects the dots between organized crime, espionage, elite capture, and Beijing's United Front Work Department.
What emerges is a damning picture of how one of the world's most authoritarian regimes used immigration loopholes, Buddhist temples, and Anne of Green Gables to anchor its influence in Canada's Prince Edward Island, the birthplace of Canadian Confederation. With China's increased belligerence towards taking Taiwan by force, the authors show readers how the infiltration of Buddhist groups is playing a key role in the soft power dynamic in Taiwan and around the world, particularly as it relates to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism.
Canada Under Siege is more than an exposé, it's a warning. The threat is no longer at the gates. It's already here. The time to act is now. In a chilling tale of soft power, corruption, and covert influence, Canada Under Siege pulls back the curtain on how the Chinese Communist Party quietly turned Prince Edward Island into a strategic forward operating base-right under the noses of Islanders and Ottawa alike.

Michel Juneau-Katsuya is a former senior intelligence officer and the Chief of Asia Pacific for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. His Sidewinder report, authored in 1998, linked the CCP's Peoples Liberation Army to Chinese organized crime groups known as the Triads and key Chinese business tycoons with links to Triads and the CCP. Their investigation and report was followed up by American intelligence agencies that were seeing the same disturbing links in the United States. It was disturbing because these individuals were rubbing shoulders with elite business and political figures in multiple countries.
Dean Baxendale is an international columnist and publisher and a leading voice in exposing transnational repression worldwide. He has testified in the House of Commons and participated in several book launches in the House of Commons UK/Canada and in the Halls of Congress.
