What he did in Canada-PRC dealings
Program leadership for Canadian ODA-style work: ICCLR’s Canada–China program that he led was explicitly designed to assist criminal justice reforms and to build sustained working relationships between Canadian experts and PRC judicial institutions under Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Chinese Communist Party(中共中央政法委). That is institutional, funded engagement — not informal networking.
Expert witness role in deportation/extradition litigation: He served as an expert witness in the Lai case and publicly presented an interpretation that China’s judicial system had made reforms and could be judged against international standards — a position with direct legal effect on whether a Canadian court would allow deportation. That’s not a neutral blog post; it is court-level expert input with consequences for Canadian legal decisions.
Simultaneous academic and political linkage: While holding academic posts in Macau and continuing to guest/hold positions at PRC institutions, he also appears in PRC political consultative structures — a combination that places him inside both academic and political networks on the Chinese side.
