Crime is crime, let's not excuse it.

You follow the laws of the country you are in regardless of circumstances in your past, coming from oppressive regime isn't a free ticket.

From your link:

“(a) the commission in Canada of a designated offence; or

(b) an act or omission anywhere that, if it had occurred in Canada, would have constituted a designated offence.”

I wasn’t aware Canada had a $50,000 limit on moving funds from China.

The premise here is evading capital controls. It seems like that would be a crime in Canada.

It isn’t. Free countries don’t enforce the laws of oppressive regimes for them.
