That’s definitely a thing too. I’m not sure it changes the trajectory of his career though.
If the PRC hadn’t meddled, and O’Toole took the 10-ish ridings he alleged were subverted (which seems like a bit of a stretch), the Conservatives still wouldn’t have been able to form government.
I think Poilievre’s revolt did more to turf O’Toole than the PRC.
From what I’ve seen, Poilievre hasn’t been nearly as hawkish on China, so the PRC certainly got lucky on that one.
