This article does not say threats were made - it says, "according to Chinese Canadian interview subjects, this invoked a widespread fear amongst electors, described as a fear of retributive measures from Chinese authorities should a CPC government be elected."

That's bad, to be sure, but if there was no direct threat, you're going to have a pretty hard time prosecuting the issue.
