Is Canada Turning Into a Chinese Proxy?

Canada announced a multi‑billion‑dollar shift to fund domestic defense manufacturing, moving away from traditional purchases from U.S. defense firms.

Critics warn the redirection could open doors for Chinese suppliers to gain a foothold in Canada’s defense supply chain.
