For example, Trudeau went to a $1,500-per-ticket fundraiser, also attended by Chinese billionaire Zhang Bin, at the home of a Chinese Canadian businessman. Weeks later, Zhang made a $1 million donation to the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation, a non-partisan charity named for the elder Trudeau, and Université de Montréal, his alma mater. At the time, the prime minister defended the fundraiser as a way of “drawing in global investment,” while the foundation said Zhang’s donation had come after he was inspired by a Chinese student studying at the university.
But the leaks revealed that CSIS had, in fact, intercepted a conversation between Zhang and Chinese diplomats discussing a plan to make the donation and to have the Chinese government repay that hefty sum, according to a security source who spoke to the Globe.
