According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, there were 200,000 international students studying in Canada in 2009, contributing more than $6.5 billion to the economy. A total of 25 per cent of the international students were from China.

Body parts murder of Lin Jun provokes Chinese gov’t to warn its citizens in Canada
By Andy Radia | Daily Brew – 16 hours ago

(…) Even without Luka Rocco Magnotta, Canada is not a safe place: that’s the narrative you’d be receiving if you read the Chinese newspapers or internet chat rooms this weekend.

The grisly killing of Lin Jun — a 33-year-old Chinese student living in Montreal — allegedly at the hands of fugitive Magnotta, has provoked widespread anger in China, where many believe the crime was racially motivated.

(…)
According to the Globe and Mail’s Beijing-based reporter Mark MacKinnon, the story now dominates internet discussions in that country — Lin’s personal account on Weibo (a popular Chinese social-networking site) was the most searched-for page on the sina.com web portal. The number two search was for the latest news of the case.
(…) A lot of the commentary, according to MacKinnon, questions public safety in Canada, especially since this was the second killing of a Chinese student in just over a year. Last April, York University student Liu Qian was killed in Toronto.

“The impact of the case will be very bad on Canada,” Meng Xiaochao, the boyfriend of Liu, told one Chinese newspaper in an interview. “Last year when Liu Qian’s case happened, many parents said they were no longer willing to send their children to Canada. Now here comes this other case.”

On the website of the China Daily News, China’s largest English Language newspaper, readers also voiced their anger about the lack of public safety in Canada.

(…)
Sinbad wrote: “Chinese students going to study overseas must learn from the many tragic deaths of Chinese students in overseas countries over the past few years that personal security in many countries are not so good as in China.”

Meanwhile, in the midst of the anger, Chinese officials have issued a safety alert to its citizens in Canada.

“The Chinese Embassy in Canada reminds Chinese citizens travelling in Canada, as well as students and the staff of Chinese organizations in Canada, to improve their self-protection [and] awareness, and to strengthen their personal security,” reads the final paragraph of the Embassy’s Chinese-language statement on Lin’s murder.

Ultimately, the grisly murder of Lin could mean a public relations nightmare for Canadian universities and colleges. According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, there were 200,000 international students studying in Canada in 2009, contributing more than $6.5 billion to the economy. A total of 25 per cent of the international students were from China.

    THIS MAKES ME LAUGH WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE MURDER OF 3 MILLION TIBETANS. THE KILLING AT BIRTH OR ABORTION OF MILLIONS OF BABY GIRLS IN CHINA.

      Are you sure your comments about China are accurate? My experience of travelling in China told me that not all info about China in North America is correct. Furthermore, I consider the big cities in China are safer than Cities in North America. I walked outside in Beijing and Shanghai at 1AM very often. But in Canada and USA, I dare not do this. Furthermore, the two points you mentioned are not related to the social safety because you have no chance to get involved in those two things. The Luka’s event is really a bad one. so is the gun shot in Eaton Center. Such bad things can definitely affect normal person’s life and cause depression in mind.

    “Last year when Liu Qian’s case happened, many parents said they were no longer willing to send their children to Canada“.

    That is good news because many Chinese “students” use and abuse this backdoor method to enter and remain in Canada as immigrants. After gaining permanent residency, the call goes out to their geriatric parents and grandparents to “come on over” and partake of Canada’s generous medical and welfare offering$ for foreign senior citizens.

    These people are not stupid by sending their offspring to western countries; they’re INVESTING in their future at OUR expense.

    “The Chinese Embassy in Canada reminds Chinese citizens travelling in Canada, as well as students and the staff of Chinese organizations in Canada, to improve their self-protection [and] awareness, and to strengthen their personal security,”

    Canada should remind the Chinese Embassy, and alert Canadians of how unsafe it can be for peaceful Canadian citizens travelling on Greyhound Buses when Chinese passengers are on board.

    Tim McLean learned just how dangerous it was when he was brutally murdered, and then decapitated on a Greyhound bus by a Chinese-born passenger. But the Chinese man wasn’t finished with just that gruesome act. He then proceeded to cannibalized young McLean’s still warm body by eating his eyeballs and other body parts.

    This couldn’t come at a better time. Hopefully this will deter immigration to Canada at a time our economy is in such distress. What about the 300,000 Canadians living in China? They came here received their citizenship and went back to their country only to come back to take advantage of our health care and other services. The Chinese man that did this to a Canadian is dispicable and then he claimed insanity. When will this government wake up and see how this mass immigration is destoying our country? Canadians please take a stand before our country is completly gone!!!!

    • Darren Chandlee

      lol. How the immigration destoying our country? You are mentioning the immigrants from EU destoyed the Native American’s country?

  • Truth

    Come on seriously — How can you link this gruesome murder to race relations between caucasians and Chinese, geriatric maternal parents, and the murder of Tibetans? And Cheryl: You know that Chinese people are not the only immigrants taking advantage of the generous welfare benefits in this country. Many Irish, Italian, and Russian immigrants are doing so as well, but it is easier to point fingers at visible minority group.

  • FourFooted_Messiah

    Yes! Spread the story around the world!

    DO NOT COME TO CANADA! They will eat you there.

    Yes, this might help fix the mass immigration problem.

  • FourFooted_Messiah

    Oh, and the connection between this case, the Greyhound case AND the Eaton Centre case (as mentioned below)?

    ALL THE PERPS ARE IMMIGRANTS!
