Canada

I really dislike these "if you're criticizing China, why aren't you criticizing X" articles.

international corporate lobbyists, the US government, and international political coalitions influence Canadian politics in ways that are equally–if not more–concrete than the alleged interference of the PRC. But neither the government nor the media has reacted to them with the same vigour.

Investigate them all. I'm not aware of any mainstream commentator who has suggested excluding any of those groups.

We should be afraid of China. China is a superpower that doesn't believe in our way of life. That doesn't mean we should be afraid of Chinese Canadians, but we should still be wary. China is absolutely invested in swaying our political environment to their favor, and they're willing to promote their interests by using migrants.

It's an unfortunate reality that Chinese Canadians who are just going about their lives will see some collateral damage from our reactions to China's meddling. We need to minimize this collateral as much as possible, but we are under genuine threat.

One thing we need to keep in mind is that Caucasian politicians can be bought just as easily, if not more so, as installing Chinese assets in our institutions.
