John McCallum fell victim to Beijing’s ‘influence campaign,’ say former ambassadors VANCOUVER—Former ambassador John McCallum’s break from Ottawa’s official messaging suggests Beijing was employing strategies from a “well-honed playbook” designed to sway ambassadors into representing state-friendly perspectives, say experts in foreign affairs. While not illegal or necessarily sinister, the practice of “gaming” envoys and businessmen by playing to their egos with the illusion of “special access” is a tried-and-true method to subtly draw foreigners into alignment with the political aims of the Communist Party of China, said James Palmer, editor of Foreign Policy Magazine. ELMAT: Maybe they used this tactic in TJ :-) “China has a habit of singling out individuals ... for its own influence campaigns,” Palmer said in an interview. Palmer lived in China for 15 years, during which time he worked as a journalist and historian. “They attempt to basically woo them, and they have a very good playbook for wooing them … And it’s not even about ideological or financial compromise, it’s about playing psychologically to these guys.” The Star was unable to reach McCallum by phone or email for comment, and his public-facing social-media accounts do not accept direct messages. It is unclear whether McCallum, as a former federal official, received the Star’s requests through government channels.
