China’s foreign affairs ministry has not responded to an inquiry by the South China Morning Post.

" The People’s Republic of China’s Intelligence Services (PRCIS) are targeting Canadian citizens inside & outside of China," CSIS Canada tweeted.

" The PRCIS then approaches their target under cover via LinkedIn, posing as anything from an HR recruiter to a security consultants," tweeted the body. "They then move the communication to secondary platforms at the earliest opportunity, such as WeChat, WhatsApp or email," read the tweet.

CSIS tweeted: " Don’t become a target of PRCIS recruitment. Be careful who you connect with on LinkedIn, and all other online platforms."
