Sim said the accusations are “disgusting” and racially motivated, and he found the report “incredibly disappointing” for pointing to politicians of Chinese descent.Recommended from EditorialThe 2022 election resulted in Sim and his ABC party sweeping to power in Vancouver. Sim garnered 85,732 votes for mayor to Stewart’s 49,593, and every candidate ABC ran for city council, park board and school trustee emerged victorious by significant margins.
The newspaper report also mentioned Vancouver Coun. Lenny Zhou as a mainland Chinese immigrant who recently made history by speaking Mandarin at a council meeting. He said any evidence of possible foreign interference in any election for public office in Canada should be released to the public to “raise their awareness about this important issue.”“I want to be very clear,” Zhou said. “I am a Canadian citizen. I’ve lived in this country for almost 20 years. This is the place where I have built a life for myself and am now raising a family. I believe in free speech and I believe in democracy.
