Some 50 Canadian universities have been working in partnership with a Chinese military institution to conduct academic research on high-end and sensitive technologies, such as those related to guided missiles and eavesdropping, according to a U.S.-based data security company.
Researchers from Canadian universities—including the University of Waterloo, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, and McGill University—have conducted and published hundreds of scientific papers with Chinese military scientists at the National University of Defence Technology (NUDT) between 2005 to 2022, reported The Globe and Mail, based on a study by U.S. strategic intelligence company Strider Technologies Inc.
This work includes 240 joint research papers published by 10 of Canada’s top universities in collaboration with NUDT within the past five years. Research topics cover quantum cryptography, photonics, and space science, while some of the experts at NUDT are specialists in missile performance and guidance systems, mobile robotics, and automated surveillance, the Globe reported….
