A senator who threatened to sue Canadian media over China coverage took more state-sponsored trips to the People’s Republic than any other parliamentarian, records show. Senator Victor Oh (Ont.), a Mississauga developer, accepted six junkets at China’s expense to promote trade and “cultural exchanges.”

Records show Senator Oh from his appointment in 2013 by then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper repeatedly toured China as a guest of the Communist Party. Senator Oh within months of his appointment visited Changchun on a trade junket sponsored by the People’s Government of Jilin Province.

In 2014 he traveled to Hainan with his wife on a “cultural exchange” sponsored by the People’s Government of Hainan Province. Senator Oh returned to Hainan in 2015 on another “cultural exchange” as a guest of state-run Hainan Airlines.
