This is a severe problem and rife with more than conflict of interest ties. B.C. poured millions into an office in China. Why? http://www.nationalobserver.com/2017/04/27/news/bc-poured-millions-office-china-why 


Clark appointed Stewart B.C.'s special representative in Asia in October 2013. Soon after he arrived in the Chinese capital, the existing Beijing office in the Dongcheng district was moved to the Kerry Centre in the Central Business District. Annual rental fees, listed as being reimbursable for a maximum of $240,000 at the old location, rose to over $360,000 a year. 

The Kerry Centre hosts top international law firms like Dentons, which hired Stephen Harper in 2016.
