At ten years old, the Canadaland network has had its share of successes: investigative journalism, powerful accountability interviews, thoughtful analysis, critique of the media when it's at its worst, and telling the weird, often untold stories about Canada.

This week, NüVoices host and co-founder Joanna Chiu speaks to Canadian journalist and author Jan Wong. Jan was one of very few foreigners able to travel to China during the Cultural Revolution where she talked herself into studying at Peking University before working as a news assistant in the New York Times' first Beijing bureau. Back then, the “office” consisted of two rooms in the Peking Hotel, one for the journalist and one that Jan shared with the driver and an interpreter. Jan Wong details how she then went on to hone her journalism skills at Columbia's School of Journalism, eventually working as a business reporter for the Wall Street Journal and The Globe and Mail. When an opportunity came up to work as a foreign correspondent at The Globe and Mail's Beijing Bureau, Jan made it her mission to get the role. After landing the job, Jan describes what it was like reporting from China during the 1980s, a bubbling tension that eventually culminated in the Tiananmen Massacre which Jan not only reported on but witnessed from a hotel overlooking the square. Joanna speaks to Jan about life as a student during the Cultural Revolution and her journey into journalism, as well as the advantages of being a Chinese-Canadian when reporting from China. They also delve into the current relations between China and Canada, and the alleged secret police stations that the CCP has been setting across Canada and the United States.May is Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month in Canada and the United States!

Our understanding of traditional social media has been based on a top-down approach from content creators to followers who interact by liking or commenting on the released content. Recently, there has been a shift to social chat programs such as Discord, Geneva and Telegram due to their perceived openness and safer space while offering a more engaging experience to their users. We speak to Jan Wong, Founder & Online Strategist at OpenMinds Resources to understand this shift and what it means for the social media landscape.Image Credit: Shutterstock | elenabsl

欢迎来到加广中文台“加中建交50周年”特别系列节目。 今天是这个系列的第七集，也是最后一集。 在过去的一个多星期，我们采访了加拿大熟悉中国事务的五位专家、学者、记者，从他们个人的经历和感受回看加中关系五十年。 过去的两年，加中关系可谓跌倒了谷底，那么未来会如何？在加拿大的对华政策上，他们有什么预见？ 欢迎收听“加中建交50周年”播客第7期：来到了十字路口，未来充满不确定... （时长17分43分） https://www.rcinet.ca/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/12/1201-Yan-mixed.mp3 加拿大学者、前外交官查尔斯·伯顿（Charles Burton）教授关注加中事务超过五十年，但目前的状况令我非常失望非常悲哀。他最大的失望是，加拿大和许多西方国家一样，认为与中国的经济合作交往将会促使中国更加开放，在民主人权方面有所改善。 加拿大几十年来在中国的公民社会、法制体系培训、女性权益等投资将近10个亿，但在受访中，伯顿教授认为，很多中国签署的与法制人权相关的协议和设置的课程，更像是“做给加拿大看的”，以减轻在这方面的压力。 伯顿教授对加中关系未来并不乐观。他表示，美国在拜登上台之后，如果重回世界领袖地位，加拿大会跟随其他的民主国家，在政治、经济方面联手，令中国更难单方面针对某一个民主国家。 他还认为，中国的经济从结构上更加依赖出口。西方国家可以决定一起行动，停止与中国合作，直到中国遵守在联合国以及世贸协定中的承诺。相对来说，这还是比较乐观的结果。 第二个可能，中国领导人继续一带一路，团结一些国家与西方的经济同盟对抗，这可能会导致下一个东西方冷战，甚至热战，包括可能的在南海以及台湾的战争。 伯顿教授表示，真是太遗憾了，双方关系到了这样的程度。 他还评价说，客观地说，加拿大的对华政策是不成功的。加拿大特鲁多政府承诺，在今年年底要“重新设定对华政策”，这是因为国内的压力，民意主流认为，加拿大应该对华更加强硬，而反对党的批评声浪也很大。 伯顿教授对于加拿大政府未来的对华政策的建议是，需要更多的加拿大人，对中国共产党的规则和语言有更深入的了解，要多与中国变革力量合作，也需要有更多的投入，比如，在加拿大国内，警方如何保护受到骚扰的华人异见人士等。 华裔学者、多伦多和平与外交研究所的姜闻然教授认为，中国这些年的崛起才是令加拿大和其他西方国家担忧害怕的真正原因。 他认为，中国政府的结构是中国人无法自己改变的。加拿大和西方需要一个框架性的对华政策，同时以历史观来对待中国的人权和民主的问题，需要领导人有主观能动性来处理与中国的关系，以避免冲突。 而加拿大著名的记者和作家黄明珍（Jan Wong)以及中国问题专家傅尧乐教授(Bernie Frolic)也认为，目前是加中关系的转折点，世界的局势正在变化，加拿大也面临选择。中国这几年的行为已经是个超级大国了，之前的加中友谊，或是加拿大对中国的期待等已经没有什么作用了。加拿大的问题是如何在与中国继续交流的情况下，保护加拿大的利益。 而自由党联邦议员董晗鹏（Han Dong）的看法是，加中没有根本的利益冲突，应该可以从理解走向合作。不过，他觉得当务之急，需要中国改善对两名加拿大公民康明凯（Michael Kovrig）和斯帕弗（Michael Spavor）的待遇，向加拿大人展示中国可以人道地，公开透明地对待他们的案子。 加中关系在五十年之际处于不确定的状态中，双方的领导人是否有智慧，可以在避免冲突的前提下，进行修复和发展？没有人能说的清。 而且，董晗鹏也给在加拿大的华裔提出了建议：懂得保护自己，保障自己的权益，以及不被边缘化。 感谢收听我们总共七集的“加中建交50年”系列节目。如果您在收听之后有什么感受和见解，欢迎发邮件给我们：China@rcinet.ca 祝您健康愉快！ 2016年9月，在杭州举行的G20会议上，加拿大总理特鲁多和中国国家主席习近平会面。THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld

“战狼外交，不确定、和转变；失望、失败、战略、以及耐心” 欢迎来到RCI “加中建交50周年”特别系列节目的第六期：加中关系中的几个关键词 上个星期，我们采访了熟悉加中关系的五位嘉宾，他们与中国都有密切的联系，多年来关注中国事务。 在采访中，我问了五位嘉宾同样一个问题：如果让你用四个字形容加中建交五十年，会是什么词？（别问我为什么是四个词，而不是更多或更少） 五位嘉宾的侧重点可能不同，但是高频率出现的词总结起来是：战狼外交，不确定、和转变。然后是，失望、失败、战略、以及耐心。 欢迎收听系列节目的第六部分：加中建交50年，几个关键词：“战狼外交”、失败、不确定、与转变... （时长：13分07秒） https://www.rcinet.ca/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/12/1203-episode-6-mixed.mp3 而且，他们一致认为，孟晚舟引渡案以及加拿大两名麦克 （康明凯，Michael Kovrig和斯帕弗，Michael Spavor)被中国逮捕且遭到严酷对待，成为了加中关系最大的转折点，主要是事件引爆了两国民众间对对方态度的大转变。再加上新冠疫情的影响，两国关系跌入了五十年来的最低谷。 今年夏天，加拿大的一项民调显示，对中国有好感的民众比例只有14%；而超过半数民众认为，加拿大自由党政府对华政策应该更强硬。 加拿大民众对中国正面印象从2005年的58%下降到2020年的14%。 最早担任加拿大外交官员的学者傅尧乐先生（Bernie Frolic）选择的是： 探索成功但失败了、战狼外交、目前很挣扎，充满不确定。 曾于七零年代留学中国的国际政治关系学者、加中问题研究专家查尔斯·伯顿教授（Charles Burton）选择的是： 失败，非常失望、非常伤心。这不是我期待的加中关系走向。 加拿大自由党议员董晗鹏(Han Dong) :从理解到发展。 他认为，加拿大与中国没有根本的经济或是外交冲突，希望中国能够展现善意，比如善待加拿大两名麦克。 而他也特别提醒加拿大华裔，在这个艰难时期，要努力对抗种族主义，以及不要被边缘化。 著名记者、作家黄明珍（Jan Wong) 的形容是： 50年代，乐观，正面；60年代，小心谨慎；70年代，希望期待；80年代， 兴奋，期待与中国的经济发展。但现在是警惕的、负面的、小心的。主要还是在于，过去加中关系的友好历史已经不再被重视了，现在中国关心的只是他们在二十一世纪的国家地位。 多伦多和平与外交研究所亚洲项目主持人姜闻然教授选择的是： 第一个：战略眼光；第二个：国家利益；第三个：主观能动性；第四个：历史观 —— 这个选择更像是他对加中关系走向的期许。 感谢收听今天的 “加中建交五十年”第六期：加中关系中的几个关键词。明天，会是我们这个系列的最后一期。明天再会。

或许再也找不到第二个有黄明珍（Jan Wong）这样经历的加拿大人了，她的人生与加中五十年的外交历史交织在一起。 1972年，她前往中国旅行和学习中文，成为了加拿大“留学中国第一人”。1974年，她作为交换学生在北京大学学习，亲历了文革后期直到毛泽东去世；1989年，“天安门民主运动”时期，她作为加拿大《环球邮报》的驻华记者，见证了整个的运动，并写出了《神州怨，Red China Blues）记录那段日子；之后，她继续关注中国自北京奥运会之后的外交政策变化... 更多细节，欢迎收听“加中建交五十年”播客：专访作家、记者黄明珍：我见证了历史 （时长18分05秒） https://www.rcinet.ca/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/12/1202-Jan-wong-mixed-final.mp3 黄明珍著作《神州怨》（作者提供） 黄明珍1952年出生在蒙特利尔。她的祖父于1880年代来到加拿大，参与修筑了太平洋铁路。她的父亲Bill Wong在蒙特利尔拥有一间中餐馆，非常有名气。 她毕业于哥伦比亚大学新闻学系，曾长期担任加拿大全国发行的《环球邮报》驻华记者，著有《神州怨》《家常便饭》《北京秘密》等，她的报道，也在一定程度上塑造了加拿大人的中国印象。 她在采访中认为，目前是加中关系的转折点，世界的局势正在变化，加拿大也面临选择。中国这几年的行为已经是个超级大国了，之前的加中友谊，或是加拿大对中国的期待等已经没有什么作用了。加拿大的问题是如何在与中国继续交流的情况下，保护加拿大的利益。 2017年，黄明珍，左，为她的新书《家常便饭》前往上海采访。（本人提供）

欢迎阅读以及收听我们的系列专访合集：加中建交五十年 从今天开始，加广中文台推出特别系列节目“加中建交五十年”，将会采访五位加拿大政治、学术、外交、媒体领域熟悉中国事务的人士，梳理加拿大与中国建交五十年的历史，介绍加拿大对中国从友善、期待，到茫然、失望，以及他们对未来的期许。 接下来是我们这个系列的第一部分：专访“加中关系活的编年史” 傅尧乐：从理想到现实 （18'06”） https://www.rcinet.ca/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/12/1202-frolic-mixed-final.mp3 1965年，加拿大学者、外交官傅尧乐（Bernie Frolic）第一次前往中国考察，到去年11月最近一次到访中国  - 他前后60次访问中国，被称为“加中外交关系活着的编年史”。 目前，年过八旬的他正在撰写一部书，主题正是加中关系五十年。 第一次中国之行：见识不一样的共产主义 1965年，傅尧乐正在莫斯科完成自己的博士学位，主题就是研究苏联的共产主义。他那是对中国充满好奇，希望看看中国的共产主义与俄国有什么不同。于是，他前往中国，待了一个月。他的第一感受是，与俄国相比，中国更加贫困，但也更加不同。 从此他作为外交官和学者，与中国的半个多世纪缘分开始，尽管此前“他并没有计划要把中国作为终身的研究对象”。 中国为什么会发生革命？为什么中国文化看上去如此不同？中国将如何对世界开放？会如何发展？这些都是他想了解的问题。 2016年9月，傅尧乐教授（左）、加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多、以及SEEC-ABMP项目负责人He Jinsong。（PMO) 加中建交过程曲折：关于台湾问题表述意义重大 傅尧乐教授介绍说，1968年，时任加拿大总理的皮埃尔特鲁多决定与中国建立外交关系。经过两年非常艰难的谈判，于1970年10月正式签署了建交公告 —— 这比尼克松访华还早了两年。 傅尧乐教授介绍说，在正式建交之前，加拿大曾四次尝试与中国联系，试图建立外交关系或是设立贸易办公室，但是，都是在最后一刻，加拿大退缩了。可能因为加拿大那个时候不在意中国，也可能是因为美国从中做梗 —— 正是冷战高峰期，西方的共识是不与共产国家合作。 傅尧乐介绍说，如果我的记忆准确，大约是双方在20月内谈判了21次，其中关键的问题是台湾。谈判中，中国坚持说，台湾是中国领土的一部分，加拿大要承认这一点。 加拿大断绝了与台湾的外交关系，承认只有“一个中国”，就是中华人民共和国。但加拿大始终没有承认过中国对台湾的主权，只是在双方的公报中指出：“中国政府重申，台湾是中华人民共和国领土不可分割的一部分。加拿大政府注意到中国政府的这一立场”。 他认为，加中在这个立场上都有让步。 傅尧乐的分析是，中国当时也有自己的麻烦，就是与前苏联交恶，因此需要与世界其他国家建立联系，但又不愿意放弃对台湾的主权。 而加拿大处理台湾问题的新方式非常重要，此后被十几个西方国家仿效。最终，美国也承认了一个中国，与中国建交。 加拿大总理皮埃尔·特鲁多是第一位访问中国的加拿大总理。1973年，他与邓小平在会面。CP/PETER BREGG “小麦外交”与“兵乓外交”的不同 六零年代初，中国因大跃进造成的饥荒开始，而世界主要国家都对中国实施了禁运。 在向中国出口小麦这件事情上，加拿大当时的农业部长汉密尔顿以及进步保守党总理迪芬贝克起了决定性的作用。 据记载，1960年，中方以6000万美金从加拿大购买了76.2万吨小麦和32.7万吨大卖。之后，加拿大政府继续向中国出售小麦。在当时，这些粮食挽救了许多中国处于饥饿状态的民众。 傅尧乐教授介绍说，六零年代初，主流加拿大人反对与中国建交。自从向中国出售小麦之后，到了六零年代中期，主流民意也开始转变，认为既然可以与中国进行贸易，为什么不可以建立外交关系？从这个角度来讲，向中国出售小麦是建立外交关系过程中的重大事件，可以说是推动了两国正式建交。 当时，也有很多人辩解说，加拿大与苏联就有外交关系 —— 冷战期间，苏联肯定不是对加拿大友好的政权 —— 那为什么不能与中国建交呢？ 而美国当时试图控制中国也遇到了很多麻烦。美国正在输掉越战，时任总统尼克松意识到，必须改变对中国政策，尤其当时中国可能已经不再是俄国的盟友，那么为什么不来打打“中国牌”呢？ 于是，兵乓球成为了外交的手段，那是在1971年 —— 第二年，尼克松前往中国，这令美国向中国开放，是美国外交的一部分。 关键人物：皮埃尔·特鲁多 加中建交过程当中，现任总理贾斯汀·特鲁多的父亲皮埃尔·特鲁多（1919~2000)绝对是位关键人物。 左一是皮埃尔·特鲁多。 老特鲁多是加拿大第15任总理，分别在1968年到1979年，以及1980年至1984年担任加拿大总理，执政近16年。1960年，在没有进入政坛之前，年轻的皮埃尔·特鲁多曾与友人前往中国旅行，并写下了《红色中国两个天真汉》。他是位具有国际影响力的加拿大总理，与卡斯特罗、吉米卡特都有很好的私人关系。1970年，他领导下的加拿大早于美国，与中国建立了正式的外交关系，而且，在1973年成为首次访问中国的加拿大总理。 傅尧乐后来曾多次采访过特鲁多：“我曾问过特鲁多，为什么要与中国建立外交关系？而他只是简单地回答：是时候让中国进入世界舞台了，你不能孤立中国，对世界来说，中国太大太重要了，要让中国加入外面的世界 —— 尤其是当时中国已经脱离了前苏联领导下的东方集团。 傅尧乐认为，老特鲁多对贸易交易没多大兴趣，他纯粹是希望中国加入外面的世界。 而老特鲁多或许没有想到，50年之后，自己的儿子在加中关系上遇到了完全不同的困境，只有历史能够做出描述，他们父子俩在对待中国上会有什么不同？ “文革”高峰中的北京外交官生涯 傅尧乐博士毕业之后，曾在哈佛大学学习中文，也在香港住过一年，之后，进入在多伦多的约克大学担任教授。 当时，加拿大政府认为，应该派遣懂得中文与中国的学者在外交部工作。于是，1974年之后的一年半时间里，他曾担任加拿大驻中国大使馆的一等秘书，是最早进入中国的加拿大外交官之一。 不过，傅尧乐介绍说，正值文化大革命的高峰期，在中国做外交官是非常困难的。政治氛围非常强烈，普遍反对外国人，专注阶级斗争，民众之间也在相互斗争，民众每天都要学习毛泽东的著作等。所以，外国人尤其是外交官行动受到限制，总是需要小心，对方也很小心，我们住在特定的地方，无法四处旅行。 他当时是与太太以及三个孩子一起居住在北京，孩子们在中文学校读书，但是，的确是非常困难。 他说，无论是对于外国人还是中国民众，后者忍受了很多苦难，文化大革命不是个好的时代。 在他的新作中，傅尧乐提到，等到八零年代，他再次前往中国，惊觉中国发生了多么大的变化。邓小平的开放政策给中国带来突然的转变，人们变得温暖了，开始相互说话了。 他是后来作为一个普通游客才开始在中国各地旅行的。 回忆起在北京当外交官的岁月，唯一有意思的事情是，那时候，加拿大与中国已经有互派留学生了。当时在北京大学等学习的加拿大学生大约有二十位，包括后来成为《环球邮报》驻华记者的黄明珍（Jan Wong)，对黄明珍的专访我们会在稍后播出。 傅尧乐负责和他们的联络，关注他们的生活学习。而且，每个月，他要提着一袋子人民币前往学校，给加拿大学生分发生活费用 —— 加中关于留学生的协议是，对方的学校负责学费住宿，而政府负责他们的生活费用。 那时候，没有其他方式汇款，只能用现金，而且都是10块面值的票子 —— 中国还没有大面额纸币。所以，傅尧乐要背着袋子去送钱。 当时，每个加拿大留学生每月生活费是300块 —— 对中国普通工薪阶层看来，是不可思议的大数目了。可以做参考的是，当时北京的一个工程师，工资水准大约在每个月40块人民币左右。 “天安门事件”改变了一切 傅尧乐教授的印象中，八零年代是个美好的时代，也是加中关系最好的时期。直到1989年发生了“天安门事件”，一切都改变了。加拿大政府对中国政府镇压学生抗议非常愤怒，并对中国实施了制裁。 中加双方都对对方感到不满，中国对加拿大的批评、制裁非常气愤。而加拿大则认为，我们一直期待中国在人权方面做出改善，结果他们却向学生和抗议者开枪。 他认为，加中关系自那以后，再也没有恢复到八零年代的样子。 总体上说，加中关系的前二十年还是不错的，但“天安门事件”导致关系恶化。 两千年之后，两国关系似乎有所恢复，但到了哈珀时代，加拿大对华政策又开始转淡。 孟晚舟事件成为加中关系的转折点。(CP/Jonathan Hayward) “不要试图改变中国” 傅尧乐引用一位作家的说法：“你不可能改变中国，当年的传教士没有改变中国，近些年的人权民主理念没有改变中国。你不可能从外面改变中国”。 加拿大的重点应该是，那么如何与中国打交道？可以是贸易，可以是人与人之间的交流 —— 比如学生、移民、旅行者，但不要指望你站在外面，来改变中国。 此外，傅尧乐认为，中国正在成为“超级大国”，加拿大如何适应这一点？中国对待加拿大的方式，就向美国在川普时期对待加拿大一样。 不过，他也承认，最近这两年，加中关系将至了冰点 —— 应该说比“天安门事件”之后还糟糕，可以说是建交以来最糟糕的。其实，加中关系早在孟晚舟事件发生前，已经有不可弥合的分歧，比如2017年，特鲁多曾前往中国...

Hello, I’m Anna-Karina Tabunar. A few years ago, I made a documentary called Talent Untapped. I met fascinating and inspiring people whose lives and careers were dramatically impacted by disability. I met Ahmed Abbukar who was struggling to get employers to see past his white cane. I spoke with Jan Wong – a provocative writer whose work triggered a clinical depression. I also shared my own experience with neurological illness. Well, a lot has happened – and changed – since I made Talent Untapped in 2016. We’re now at a fascinating intersection of a global pandemic, physical distancing and isolation, Black Lives Matter and racial justice. So now – in a new podcast – I’m catching up with Ahmed, Jan and the rest of the cast to find out how they’re managing. I think their stories can help us build stronger, more inclusive communities and workplaces. Join me for “More Talent Untapped”. More Talent Untapped is made possible by our sponsors RBC and EARN - the Employment Accessibility Resource Network, an initiative of United Way East Ontario.

Genesis started off with him reformatting computers for his friends - given that he had no prior knowledge in this area, his services didn't always bear fruit! And yet he preserved. And when he spotted a gap (again) for data recovery services, he pivoted. And grew a business so successful, it attracted the attention and partnership of conglomerates like Seagate, Microsoft, Fujitsu and Samsung. *The Entrepreneurial Journey* Jan's story is full of tremendous highs but also tremendous lows. Some of them include overcoming a teacher's “prediction” when he was 10 years old that he would never amount to anything. Of facing the lack of support and confidence from those around him when he first established Genesis. And how he had to confront the heavy consequences of allowing his pride to get in the way of his business. We dig in deep into those low points. Of how Jan approached them and continued on his journey. And how he was willing to go out of his comfort zone, even till this day! *Founding OpenMinds* In 2009, Jan founded OpenMinds Resources. Some of the things we discussed included: * Why he decided to not pay himself a salary for the first year & a very low stipend for the next few years; * His priorities in the early startup days; * OpenMind's unique selling point; * Things Jan would've done differently; * How Jan created a people first work culture; and * How he led OpenMinds to tripling its revenue in 2015 and expanding to Singapore, Hong Kong and Kazakhstan! *Other Things We Discussed* * Jan's drive of always seeking to “stand out” & doing something that no one else can easily copy; * His biggest mistake behind starting his first company at the age of 17 in college; * The role of faith in his life; * Why he continues to invest in other people; * The impact that being Forbes 30 under 30 had on him; * The impact that COVID-19 has had on him and OpenMinds; and * His biggest piece of advice for those wanting to start a new venture in this day and age. Jan's story is truly one of great perseverance and a willingness to always learn & never let fear hold you back. I have nothing but admiration for him. Show notes: https://www.sothisismywhy.com/7

Journalist Jan Wong has spent many years in China. As as a student at Beijing University, she experienced China during the Cultural Revolution, and later as a reporter for the Globe and Mail, she witnessed Tiananmen Square.

Well, Happy New Year to our twenties of listeners. Scott and I enjoyed our break, but we were both also very eager to get back into the swing of things... In our fifteenth episode, we sit down with Gateway Editor-in-Chief Mike Kendrick and Canadian University Press President Rob Fishbook to discuss the upcoming National Journalism Conference being hosted in Edmonton by the Gateway and Canadian University Press (CUP) this coming weekend. This event sees hundreds of student journalists descend on the city for a weekend AGM and professional development conference. The line-up of speakers giving talks at this year's conference (affectionately called "Nash" by salty old-school CUPpies like myself) includes such luminaries as Jan Wong, Adrienne Arsenault... and Scott and myself, if you can believe it. We also discuss the changing media of student journalism and some of the interesting content and technological challenges that CUP is helping its members tackle — we even get a bit of a sneak peak at CUP's soon-to-be-launched proprietary content management system for member papers. Finally, and you'll never believe this, I got to work in a Star Trek reference. All in all a great show and a terrific start to the New Year.

Listen in as Mike Fuhr, Director of National Accounts Marketing chats with award-winning journalist Jan Wong about Beijing Confidential and her quest to find someone she encountered briefly in 1973, and whose life she was certain she had ruined forever.
