Canada; People's Republic of China
China interfered in Canadian politics, but official reviews did not find that it changed which party formed government.
The Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference found that foreign interference occurred, but did not affect the 2019 or 2021 outcome in terms of which party came to power. Earlier election-protocol reviews likewise found no interference sufficient to compromise Canada's ability to hold free and fair elections.

No. China did conduct foreign-interference activity in Canada, including around elections, but official reviews did not find that it changed which party formed government in 2019 or 2021.
Canadian security and intelligence agencies have documented PRC foreign interference, including political influence efforts and targeting of Canadian communities and political actors.
The claim turns documented interference into proof that Beijing determined the national election result or installed the Liberal government. That conclusion was not supported by the public inquiry or election-integrity reviews.
This is directly about whether foreign interference changed who governed Canada.
