WILFUL BLINDNESS

An in-depth look into Chinese organized crime infiltration into Canada over the past 25 years.

International drug cartels, espionage, murder and political corruption. When one thinks of the international stereotypes that bless, or, depending on how you perceive it, plague Canada, these are not the things that come to mind. How did Canadian cities such as Vancouver and Toronto become hubs of Ch inese Communist Party operations and global money laundering?

The plot goes back to Britains handover of Hong Kong, a geopolitical event with consequences now unfolding in Western capitals. Author Sam Cooper traces the infiltration of casino and real es tate businesses in Canada and the Five Eyes allies through heroin, methamphetamine and fentanyl cartels tied to the Chinese state.

Wilful Blindness uncovers an international plot many may find hard to believe until they read this gripping investigative narrative. British readers that know the name of Chi Lop Tse or the case of EncroChat, an encryption tech company used by London drug bosses to plan executions, will be stunned to learn how transnational narco networks tie to a major corruption scandal in Canada.
