Which is why a Five Eyes coordinated strategy is going to be required to counter increasingly aggressive Chinese intelligence activities. While each of the members have their own unique national differences, things like hacking and cyber espionage strategies are still bound by the same firewall, encryption and security standards across most countries. China will also likely try to utilize successful campaigns conducted in one country in others as well, so it is important to share data, metrics, and response strategies to counter this. I am sure the Five Eyes are probably coordinating quite a bit already in this regard and already see why that's important.
The Chinese intelligence problem will need a cohesive Western response; Canada is just one player in this game and will need to further coordinate with their allies to counter it.
