Mike Pompeo warned against Chinese influence at a Canadian conference, suggesting ‘that there are Chinese Communist Party-affiliated people in this room today.’

(LifeSiteNews) — The former director of the CIA issued a warning that Canada has become so deeply infiltrated by agents of Communist China that infiltrators may not even look Chinese but could pass as “white Italian kids.”

Speaking to people gathered in Ottawa for the Canada Strong and Free Conference held on May 7, former U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Mike Pompeo said, “I can’t see very much out there, but I will bet you that there are Chinese Communist Party-affiliated people in this room today.”

He noted how, today, many people affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are not even ethnically Chinese. He said that they “look like me; like they’re white Italian kids.”

Pompeo then said that there is not a “single university in the United States that isn’t deeply tied to Chinese money,” with him noting that some Chinese students are involved in what is known as intellectual property theft.

He warned that Canadians, and indeed everyone, should not be worried about China invading Taiwan, but rather the CCP’s influence over large cities in North America.

When it comes to Canadian political leaders, Pompeo said that the current Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney is taking a “misguided” approach in having closer relations with China.

He remarked that he had been asked about it by Conservative MP Shuvaloy Majumdar.

According to Pompeo, he said in his answer, China will “sell your nation’s values down the river in two seconds.”

He said that Canada needs to “move past the irritation and remember who the people are that share your values.”
