Welcome to Found in Translation, a new Substack aiming to bridge the information divide between Canada's Chinese-speaking community and those who don't speak Chinese.
Quite often Chinese publications in Canada and around the world push the Chinese Communist Party's agenda to diaspora communities. As many Chinese outside of China do not support the regime, this is an unfair media representation of their communities in Canada.
But there's a bigger problem, due to lacklustre enforcement by Canadian authorities when it comes to the CCP's reach in Canada and intimidation of Chinese people here, Chinese in Canada are even afraid to speak out about their low-quality and biased media that is supposedly serving their communities.
Here at Found in Translation we want the wider Canadian public to see the kind of articles Chinese media in Canada is publishing. Considering the size of Canada's Chinese population we feel it is important everyone knows what this community is being fed regularly.
We hope it helps people see the need for impartial Chinese-language media in Canada, and also helps people understand what kind of influence the CCP has in Canada.
Our newsletter will simply curate some of the more questionable material in Chinese media and translate it straight up for you to read.
This newsletter has just started and its creators are new to such things. We hope you will subscribe, give us feedback and be patient as we develop.
