“The Chinese realize that they need to make their voices heard in the political circle so as to seek more interests for the Chinese,” he (Mr. Huang - Yuhu group) told reporters recently."

"Chen Yonglin, a former Chinese consular official in Australia who defected in 2005, said the donations disclosed so far were “very small compared to the transactions completed under the table,” including free trips to China and other gifts to politicians that can be impossible to track."

"Last year Sam Dastyari, a Labor senator, quit a party post, but not parliament, after the disclosure that he had accepted money from Yuhu Group, which Mr Huang heads, to pay for travel and legal advice. Mr Dastyari had called on Australia to “respect” China’s claims in the South China Sea."

Canada is not immune from this influence.
