>According to her LinkedIn profile, Zhang has held a range of positions at federal agencies, including as a data scientist for the National Research Council for six months in 2017, an economist for StatsCan from April 2018 to October 2022, and then as a systems engineer at the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) from May 2022.
She also lists experience as a policy analyst for the European Space Agency, and the economic research and statistics division of the World Trade Organization, as well as positions on „mirror committees“ of the Standards Council of Canada, a Crown corporation that acts as „Canada’s voice on standards and accreditation on the international stage.“
In an emailed statement, the European Space Agency said it applies standard screening procedures for positions that do not require security clearance, and relies on „the relevant National Security Authority [to] conduct a comprehensive vetting process of the individual concerned“ when classified information is involved.
fire everyone immediately who was involved in hiring this person and ran the back checks. Then investigate ever person they where hired with a fine tooth comb and fire anyone with any discrepancies or performance issues immediately.
She has quite a few papers from University of Ottawa: [https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=0N3p8ZQAAAAJ&hl=en](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=0N3p8ZQAAAAJ&hl=en)
Her resume is also quite deep, as she is not a fresh graduate intern.
I wonder if she asked questions that were too mature and experienced, which aroused suspicion.
It will be interesting to see what the actual charges are, or if she was just a nosy nelly and lacked EQ, which is common among some academics.
And then we will turn around and go “omg they caught up to our most advanced AI models, they caught up to our most advanced chip makers”. The bar is literally in hell.
What CCP are gonna to do for her?

Our government is so compromised its insane.
I saw a news report recently of a girl who lost her security clearance due to risk of terrorism and she’s suing the police and government for it in Quebec. The alleged “risk“ is that her uncle, who she hasn’t see or contacted since she was 2 years old has alleged links to terrorist organizations.
If they can’t present actual proof that the girl they’re accusing of being a spy is one (and not some bs like she talked about her job to her family) I don’t believe none of that shit.
Especially from european governments, countries with culture known to be to be racist against non white people.
I can’t tell who she’s spying for though. Is she allegedly spying for Canada? Or for China?
Yeah she’d get everything out of me…..everything.
If you think about it. Spying for China is win-win. You get paid well, worst punishment you’ll face from Canada is a slap on the wrist, or just shuffled around the cabinet.
Canadians are so naive
Well that’s embarrassing.
What the fuck does a spy even do all day anyway? Like what’s a spy’s week look like?

This story is not the least bit surprising, our institutions are renowned for being thoroughly infiltrated by foreign intelligence services. In fact, the only people continually shocked by this information are Canadians! This woman was born and raised in China, and already was flagged by CBSA for not having her identity straight.
>Zhang also requested a judicial review of a Public Service Commission of Canada finding that she committed fraud in an application for a position at the Canada Border Services Agency by applying under two different names and emails and failing to later clarify whether she had submitted multiple applications.
It’s going to sound crazy, but maybe we shouldn’t have foreigners in sensitive civil service positions, especially when they are from geopolitical adversaries.

IDK why anyone would want us as part of their security alliance. Must be purely based on geography.
I’m curious if she’s a dual citizen. If she is, this is more proof that hiring dual citizens for security related or sensitive government jobs needs to stop.
That’s an easy win right there, but the government doesn’t have the guts to do it.
Of course, she might not be. I haven’t seen it reported that she is. It’s clear they don’t think she’s working for the Kingdom of Tonga in any case.
Sure wish I could been there when the RCMP officer was like “Gotcha bitch!” Too much Reddit, I guess.
Checked out her Facebook profile. Looks like she was right in the thick of it during the convoy protest in Ottawa.
„it’s proof that our processes work“ …except she slipped through and it was NATO that caught her. Get serious Canada.
If you aren’t a second generation citizen, perhaps you shouldn’t expect to be hired for a security role?
Just for fun, plot twist! She doesnt spy for China! Who does she spy for?
Wow belgium didn’t release her identity because she is innocent until proven guilty, but CBC can’t be bothered with justice or due process, already convicting her in the court of public opinion. Bravo CBC! At least if we sent a spy to Belgium we also don’t have even the basic level of decency that they had in protecting the presumption of innocence. Best of both worlds!
how did this girl get selected for so many impressive internships/jobs with all these different prestigious agencies? Like World Trade Organisation, Canadian Space Agency, European Space Agency, NATO I feel like a high performing student would be lucky to be selected for any one of them.
Funny, the article doesn’t actually specify who she is spying for. It’s implied that she is spying on Belgium FOR Canada lol
