Taiwan counts up to 70,000 Chinese agents on its soil. Canada just signed a police pact with the ministry that runs the playbook

**Editorial Summary** This Commentary piece argues that Canada's confidential RCMP-Ministry of Public Security cooperation agreement represents a dangerous security vulnerability, using Taiwan's experience with Chinese intelligence infiltration (60,000-70,000 agents) as a cautionary case study for how Beijing weaponizes police cooperation to undermine democracies. The article's strengths include concrete sourcing (Jürgen Kremb interview, Hogue Commission findings), vivid illustrative details (illegal police stations, afternoon newsroom instructions), and a clear policy prescription, though it somewhat overstates the trade deal's economic weakness by dismissing the canola agreement without fully engaging counterarguments about supply-chain diversification.
