华人前联邦保守党议员赵锦荣为何在虚假信息战中失去席位（观点）
Opinion: Kenny Chiu's defeat underscores the success of Beijing's psychological warfare campaign

加拿大情报局报告披露中国政府在加拿大2021联邦选举中针对赵锦荣的干预行动。这位出生于香港的国会议员因其提出的外国影响力登记法案，成为北京旨在压制所有批评人士的干预活动的目标。中国驻温哥华总领事董晓玲将赵的选举败局归功于北京的干预，称“中国政府的策略非常成功”。同时，中国领事馆官员表示，“让大陆移民站在中国政府一边不是什么难事。” 中国政府巧妙的干扰策略使某些选民被虚假信息所愚弄，这也是是导致中共攻击战成功原因。 这位前卑诗省议员称，由于北京成功地干预加拿大大选，他最终失去了席位。

CSIS intelligence reports have found Beijing's specific meddling efforts targeting Kenny Chiu in the 2021 elections. The Hong Kong-born MP who proposed a foreign influence registry bill became the target of Beijing's interference efforts that intended to silence all critics of China. Tong Xiaoling, the Chinese consul-general in Vancouver, claimed the credit for Chiu's defeat in the election, boasting that "Beijing's strategies were good." Meanwhile, Chinese consulate officials said, "it is easy to influence Chinese immigrants to agree with PRC's stance." Beijing's sophisticated tactics and some constituents' vulnerability to the risks of disinformation made Beijing's propaganda campaign successful. The former B.C M.P. says he lost his seat due to Beijing's alleged meddling in the Canadian election.
中国政府绞尽脑汁，使用心理战术等精心策划的策略来影响华裔选民。 他们利用许多华裔大陆新移民政治上的天真和对加拿大反华浪潮的担忧，通过煽动恐惧以来操纵华裔选民们对候选人的看法。 大量的假新闻和误导信息称赵锦荣提议的登记法案目标直指加拿大全体华裔，并将每个与中国大陆有染者都视作中国政府的代言人，需要专门登记。一篇发布于中文社交媒体的新闻简报注有“华人警惕！保守党议员赵锦荣提华人注册！的标题，呼吁读者广传一旦赵当选，将通过法案导致对华人社区的大面积监视和打压之信息。
Beijing has tapped into sophisticated strategies to influence the Chinese Canadian voters, including psychological warfare. Beijing exploited many mainland Chinese newcomers' political naivetés and concerns over anti-Chinese waves in Canada, using the fear-mongering campaign to manipulate their views toward the election candidate. A flood of fake news and misinformation painted Chiu's registry bill as an effort to target all people of Chinese origin in Canada, alleging it considered everyone with a connection with China a spokesperson of Beijing and would be required to register specifically. "Chinese take heed! Conservative MP Kenny Chiu to Raise 'Foreign Influence Registration Act," a news brief on Chinese social media urged users to disseminate a message that Chiu if elected, would pass a law that would result in widespread suppression and surveillance on the Chinese community in Canada.
赵并非不知道北京在竞选期间煽动华裔选民（占其选民的一半）对他法案的恐惧的企图。在《大中报》举办的竞选候选人社区对话中，赵锦荣表示：“该法案针对的是那些代表中国政府企图游说加国立法机构的外国代理人，对不参与这项活动的个人或机构没有任何影响。但赵锦荣试图通过解释法案针对对象和立法目的来澄清事实的做法却徒劳无功，完全被网上匿名攻击和虚假信息所淹没。
Chiu wasn't ignorant of Beijing's schemes trying to incite fears over his proposed bill among Chinese Canadian voters – who accounted for half of his constituents. "The bill targets the foreign agents on behalf of Chinese authorities trying to lobby the Canadian legislature. It won't affect any individuals or organizations not involved in those activities at all," said Chiu in the MP candidate community dialog hosted by Chinese News during the election campaign. But Chiu's efforts to clear the air by explaining the purpose of the bills and its intended target were futile, drowned out by anonymous online attacks and a disinformation rampage.
中国政府还通过采取几种心理战术来进行虚假宣传，从为虚假信息制造真实新闻效果到操纵人们对被视为另类遭排挤的担心。虚假信息来自于权威新闻账号“多伦多领事馆“并通过各种微信群进行传播，就是利用了人们普遍存在的相信家人和朋友、寻求社会认可、避免在海外侨民群体中被排挤的心理。 攻击赵锦荣的新闻简报是在那些中立和事实为主的话题之后，因此看起来更为可信。
Beijing's disinformation campaign also tapped into several psychological strategies – from manipulating the fear of being an outcast to creating an illusion of truth effect. It took advantage of the fact that people tend to believe in families and friends and intend to seek social recognition and avoid being an outcast in the overseas diaspora group, sending the message from the authoritative news account Torontolingshiguan and disseminating it through various WeChat groups. The news brief attacking Chiu came out following other largely neutral and information-based topics, making it look more trustworthy.
中国政府制造恐惧氛围的烟幕弹成功地操纵了华裔选民，使赵在连任竞选中败北。 “一名普通加拿大人士会发现 [这些指控]非常 荒谬，并会主动对这些信息进行核实。但我选区的一些选民却对社交媒体，诸如微信上传播的信息全盘接受。” 生活在中国政府宣传机器阴影下的加拿大华裔人士需要提高他们对假新闻识别水平和辨别事实的能力。 政治上成熟，不易被误导的选民对于维护加拿大选举和民主制度的完整起着至关重要的作用。
Chiu lost his re-election bid as Beijing's fear-mongering campaigns successfully manipulated the diaspora community. "If you are an ordinary Canadian, you will find [the allegations] ridiculous, and you may potentially be able to fact-check this information. But some of my constituents, they exclusively rely on the source of information circulated on social media like WeChat." Chinese Canadians frequently subject to Beijing's propaganda operations need to raise their fake news awareness and improve their critical thing skills. Better-informed voters are crucial to ensure the integrity of the Canadian elections and the democratic system.
