About Found in Translation (FiT)
Found in Translation (FiT) is an independent online publication that investigates and reports on the influence strategies and activities of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Canada and other democratic societies.
Founded by Canadian citizens originally from mainland China who have chosen to remain anonymous for now, FiT brings together the expertise of investigative journalists, open-source researchers, international activists, and diverse members of the Chinese diaspora.
FiT sources, translates, and analyzes Chinese-language materials from both inside and outside the Great Firewall. Through this work, FiT produces in-depth reporting and evidence-based analysis on CCP-linked influence efforts—particularly those associated with the United Front system as it engages with diaspora communities, political processes, media ecosystems, and business networks in democratic countries.
FiT’s investigations have been cited by multiple major Canadian media outlets and have helped inform public understanding of CCP’s foreign interference. Going forward, FiT will continue to support open-source research and public interest investigative reporting. In an era of global geopolitical upheaval, FiT will work with like-minded organizations to stand against authoritarianism and safeguard the democratic world order.
