Canada launched its long-anticipated "Indo-Pacific" strategy on Sunday, outlining 2.3 billion Canadian dollars ($1.7 billion) in spending to boost military and cyber security in the region and vowed to deal with a "disruptive" China, while working with it on climate change and trade issues.
That China is mentioned more than 50 times in the 26-page document and is described as an "increasingly disruptive global power" that seeks to "shape the international order into a more permissive environment for interests and values that increasingly depart from ours" underscores the increasingly confrontational stance that Ottawa has taken toward China and its willingness to continue to be used as a chess piece in the United States-orchestrated geopolitical game to contain China.
Sino-Canadian ties have been on a downward spiral in recent years, mainly because Ottawa has abandoned its long-held foreign policy of cooperation and engagement with China and started to run Washington's anti-China errands, as evidenced in the arrest of Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver in December 2018 at the behest of the US, which alleged she violated US sanctions against Iran.
The tough stance the Canadian government is taking toward China and its allegations of coercive behavior that undermines its national security interests and those of partners in the region, in addition to its decision earlier this month to order Chinese investors to divest from three lithium mining companies under Canada's tougher foreign investment rules, have sent the already frosty bilateral relationship to an even lower level.
Ottawa's confrontational strategy is justified by a parroting of Washington's smear that China's behaviors and policies erode the existing rules-based international order. But this is because it has put all its eggs in the US basket.
As the world's second-largest economy and largest manufacturing power and trading nation, it is natural that China should be making large-scale investments in the region that have strengthened its economic influence and diplomatic impact.
Yet to conclude from this that the country is becoming a disruptive international power is to disregard the fact that it seeks win-win cooperation and its consistent calls for countries to build a community with a shared future.
Whether from a political, economic or security perspective, China does not pose any threat to Canada. Rather, it is Canada that is set to boost its naval presence tens of thousands of kilometers away in the Asia-Pacific region and plans to increase its "military engagement and intelligence capacity" there in the name of "mitigating coercive behavior and threats to regional security".
Such provocative moves run counter to the common interests of the two countries, given that they have enjoyed long-term friendly exchanges, and that Canada was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic relations with China.
Ottawa should adopt a more objective and long-term perspective in handling its relations with China, its second-largest trading partner, and seek to work with Beijing to get bilateral relations back on a healthy track, rather than pandering to Washington's zero-sum game.
No doubt Canadians are puppet of its Southern Dictator - US. Its expected. There is no point being angry with Canada. There is also no need to entertain Canada politically nor invest into Canada until it changes its attitude.
Canadians are barking empty as if they are blind and deaf. There are so many collaborations where China is invited and of course like any country there are some where China needs to compete with its peers.
Harping on Chinese security, Canada seems to have forgotten how it had tailed US into several illegal wars - Afghanistan and Iraq. If Canadians are so righteous, then shouldn't the first military personnel the Canadians shoot be their own?
Nonetheless China, through Greater Bay Hong Kong can continue to articulate China's measured progress globally to educate the Canadians how China has been working hand-in-hand with the world. Be careful not to project a boasting image though as this will be counter-productive. At the same time promote the Greater Bay to the entire North America and build a positive strong China-following in Canada. Set up a few Greater Bay units in Canada to foster business, educational and social relationships as well as to understand Canadian even though the political relations and investment into Canada can be frozen for the time being. This will help Chinese businesses to know how to survive in Canada. Although there is no need to entertain Canada politically, it is an educational strategy to shift the mindsets of Canadians. There are also many Hong Kees who have migrated there. Nurturing and fostering continued strong relations with them first and the rest of the Canadians will be advantageous for China. As China is not pro-war, thus educating the Canadians skillfully of this fact is the way forward. Draw Canadaian funds into the Greater Bay and reinvest them back into North America. Canadians will need an alternative to the US and China's Greater Bay Hong Kong is the best option due to familiarity of the English based common law. This will promote China's service industries into North America.
It's straightforward nationalistic bigotry.
The Great Satan has violated the sovereignty of other nations, including its european satraps by "extraordinary renditioning" (kidnapping) people and sending them to "black-sites" (torture chambers) administered by "Bloody Gina" Haspel, who was said to have tortured just for sadistic pleasure.
Yet we read: "Canada issues ‘cease and desist’ warning to China over ‘police stations’ in Ottawa".
Conspicuous by its absence is any law which these anglo/jew gangsters claim China's overseas service stations have committed. They themselves make no claim of forced, i.e. physical abductions; only persuasions.
Trudeau is a tool and not a genuine leader. His performance in the confrontation with president Xi was scurrilous. Trudeau, knowing he was being filmed, rudely cut off the translator so that the accusation could not be heard and then offered the boiler-plate propaganda line that in the West there is open and free speech.
The two Michaels have now been confirmed as spies. These vermin held Meng Wanzhou hostage 9 days before the two spies were picked up. As one amerikan commentator said, everything about the accusations against her was wrong; no jurisdiction, no case and her rights were being violated. This is how subhuman they are and why the Anglos were kicked out of Saxony and the Jews out of Mesopotamia.
