According to the report, she said that both the media reports and the RCMP investigation are causing racism. She then said the espionage cases themselves have caused her to feel "division". The second guy said his problem is that the investigation might cause people to wonder, about any normal asian-Canadian person walking down the street, whether they're under investigation by the RCMP.
So, yes, they did say "something of the kind". The quote in the headline itself that "the investigation is bringing fear to them" is an accurate characterization. Fuzz's response is apt.

The reporter attributes to the organization the view that the cases are causing experiences of fear and racism in the Chinese community.
The woman interviewed said she has felt division in the way people have treated her after the espionage case, yes. She didn't say that the investigation itself being conducted made her feel othered or discriminated against. It was the response of people who learned about the case in the media that made her feel division.
Yes, the guy expresses worries that people walking down the street will be suspicious of regular Chinese people and that is upsetting for him, but his opposition to the investigation was that he sees it as unfounded and that they have not given any reason for it. He clearly feels that people are viewing the Chinese community differently on the basis of an investigation that he sees as unwarranted. He did not say that he opposes fair investigations.
So, the actual specific things they express opposition to are, respectively, how the public treatment of the investigations has resulted in discrimination, and discrimination resulting from an allegedly unfounded investigation as he sees it.
The only one in the report whose views could be construed as opposing an investigation taking place was the guy, who may be construed as opposing it because he sees it as unfounded.
