赵锦荣提议的外国代理登记法将保护华人社区（观点）
Opinion: Kenny Chiu’s proposed bill will protect Chinese Canadians

前保守党议员赵锦荣提出的外国代理登记法案引发了有关种族歧视争论。中国政府的误导宣传指责该法案对华人社区存在偏见，总理特鲁多也试图通过打种族牌来拒绝这项法案，称“要求身在加拿大为外国政府工作的人进行登记是某种形式的种族主义。” 但拟议的法案并非针对加拿大华人社区的所有成员，而是仅仅对代表外国政府行事的特工进行登记追踪。更应看到的是，该法的真正效力在于能使加国当局有法律依据对中国秘密派往加拿大对异见者进行打压的秘密特工进行逮捕和起诉。

Kenny Chiu’s proposed bill for foreign registry had raised concerns over racial discrimination. While Beijing’s misinformation campaign accused it of being prejudiced against the Chinese community, Trudeau also tried to reject the proposed bill by playing the race card, saying that “requiring people to register if they are working in Canada for a foreign government was somehow a form of racism.” But rather than broadly targeting all members of the Chinese Canadian community, the proposed bill would only keep track of agents acting on behalf of foreign governments. Moreover, it would give the local authorities the ability to charge and arrest Chinese agents secretively sent to Canada to silence divergent voices of CCP.
中国政府派出特工前往加拿大和美国设立警察局。自 1938 年以来，美国就一直要求那些代表外国政府行事者进行登记注册。真是根据美国外国代理人注册法，联邦调查局关闭了曼哈顿下城的一家中国警察局，并逮捕了两名涉嫌在纽约市开办并经营“未向美国当局注册的警察局”的中国特工。卢建旺和陈金平面临不知会美国当局的情况下密谋充当中国政府代理人和妨碍司法的指控。但在没有外国代理人登记系统的加拿大，中国代理人可肆无忌惮地从事破坏加国主权的行动，设立一个又一个警察局。当美国联邦调查局闯入卢、陈的家中将其逮捕时，加拿大皇家骑警只能将警车停在四个“可能非法的警察局门前“示威”。
Beijing has sent agents abroad to establish police stations in Canada and US. The requirement that someone be registered to act on behalf of a foreign government has been in place in the United States since 1938. Under the US foreign agent registration act, the FBI shut down a Chinese police station in Lower Manhattan and arrested two alleged Chinese agents who operated an “undeclared police station” in New York City. Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping faced charges of conspiring to act as agents of the Chinese government without informing US authorities and obstructing justice. Lacking such a registry system renders Canada’s law enforcement agencies powerless, allowing China to engage in more brazen activities to violate Canadian sovereignty, popping up more police stations on Canadian soil. When the FBI broke into the home of Lu and Chen and made the arrest, RCMP in Canada could barely take any enforcement actions but merely parked police vehicles in front of the four suspected illegal police stations – “to show their presence.”
中国还向美国派往特工大军骚扰、跟踪和监视中国政府批评人士。美国司法部宣布对 34 名参与伤害美国居民的“跨国镇压”行动的中国国家警察提出指控。一名来自长岛的 62 岁的刘藩（Frank Liu）被控雇用私家侦探非法收集数名中国异议人士的税务记录和其他敏感信息，其目标对象包括加利福尼亚的艺术家陈济民，其将习近平描绘成 Covid 19 病毒分子的雕塑惹怒了中国当局。刘藩曾要求私家侦探非法获取陈济民的报税信息，并同意支付$3,500 美元以贿赂国税局官员提供陈的税表。私家侦探不但没有贿赂国税局官员，而且还他联系了联邦调查局揭发了刘。联邦调查局指控刘充当中国秘密特工。
An army of secret agents sent to the US harass, stalk, and surveil Chinese critical of the Chinese government. The US Justice Department announced charges against 34 officers of the national police of the PRC involved in “transnational repression” scheme that harms people living in the US. Among them was 62-year-old Frank Liu from Long Island, who allegedly hired private investigators to illegally collect tax records and other derogatory information about several Chinese dissidents, including Chen Jimin, a California artist, whose sculpture depicting Xi Jinping as a Covid-19 virus molecule had drawn the ire of Chinese authorities. Liu asked the investigator to obtain tax records, offering to pay $3,500 to bribe an Internal Revenue Service agent into illegally releasing the documents. The investigator did not bribe an IRS official. Instead, he contacted the FBI, which charged Liu with conspiring to act as an agent of the PRC secret police.
许多身在加拿大的华人都遭受过与陈济民先生和其他美国同胞类似的来自中国特工的恐吓、骚扰和虐待。虽然根据美国外国代理人登记法，个人在未向政府申报的情况下秘密经营和为外国政府工作非法，但这种秘密为外国政府工作的行为在加拿大却并不违法。前国家安全分析师丹尼斯·莫利纳罗 (Dennis Molinaro) 说：“因此，那些在美国从事这类活动者会遭到美国当局起诉，但在加拿大却可逃之夭夭，这种对比再鲜明不过了。”加拿大当局对中国当局的境外骚扰行动束手无策，事实上是助纣为虐，让华人社区受到更大伤害。通过建立外国登记系统，那些面临中共骚扰和打压的华社人士将得到执法机构的保护。与此同时，更多心存恐惧，对中共当局敢怒不敢言的华社人士也能逐渐呼吸到自由的空气。
Many Chinese people in Canada have suffered similar intimidation, harassment, and abuse from Chinese agents as Mr. Chen and other US counterparts. While under the US foreign registry law, individuals can’t covertly operate and work for a foreign government without declaring it to the government, that activity is not illegal in Canada. “So it is a very stark contrast where we see charges brought against individuals in the United States for doing this activity but not in Canada,” said Dennis Molinaro, a former national security analyst. The inability of the Canadian authorities to hold Beijing’s illegal operations accountable would only encourage the perpetrators while putting the victims in more harm. By setting up a foreign registry system, those in the Chinese community facing CCP’s harassment and crackdown will get protection from law enforcement agencies. At the same time, many more silent dissents can have their fear relieved, feeling the taste of freedom.
