“China – Communist Slave State”

MACLEOD: Canada faces a choice — Beijing or Washington

The dispute between Canada and the United States (US) is usually described as another argument over tariffs. Steel, aluminum, automobiles, and agriculture dominate the headlines, but those are the visible symptoms of a much larger disagreement.

Washington is trying to build a protected North American economic and security bloc capable of competing with China. Mark Carney is trying to reduce Canada’s dependence on the US by expanding trade with China, Europe, and other markets. Those strategies are now colliding, and Canada cannot pretend indefinitely that it can pursue both.

Mark Carney’s Smuggler’s Blues – Canada’s tariff tantrum has a China problem.

Brabim Karki’s piece here at The American Spectator on Monday about the breakoff in trade talks between the U.S. and Canada is a must-read, though it’s a little incomplete (and this column is an attempt to fill in a gap). Karki notes, and quite accurately so…

China denounces US threat of sanctions over trade with Iran

China has denounced the threat of US sanctions for its trade with Iran, saying any such measures would be illegal, and warned it would take “all necessary measures” to protect its national interests.

Beijing’s rejection of the US threat of secondary sanctions for any country or entity continuing to trade with Tehran had been predicted. China buys an estimated 80% of Iran’s oil exports and it has defied previous US efforts to limit the flow of revenue to the Tehran regime.

Its statement of opposition raises the question of how far the Trump administration would be prepared to go in confronting China and its financial system in the drive to isolate Iran.

China Media Hails Canada’s ‘Chinese-Style’ Tariff Retaliation

China’s nationalist tabloid Global Times praised Canada’s retaliation against US tariffs, casting Ottawa’s move as validating Beijing’s opposition to Washington’s protectionist trade policies.

Calling Canada’s action “Chinese-style counterattack,” the newspaper said in an editorial Monday that the government’s decision shows that “more countries are realizing that concessions toward the US do not necessarily bring respect and stability.”

Carney does not want a deal, not with the US, unless China says so.

Oh look who’s back!

Canadians angry because U.S. trade approached cultural sovereignty issues. Canada then vows to influence American opinion.

China’s Shadow War for America’s Pacific Front Line

OTTAWA — In this episode, I sit down with Indo-Pacific researcher Cleo Paskal and frequent Bureau guest Chris Meyer to investigate a part of the world that rarely commands sustained Western attention — but could determine the outcome of the next global conflict.

Paskal has testified repeatedly before the United States Congress and the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. A former journalist, she has spent years travelling through the Pacific’s smallest and most strategically important states. The path that drew her into this subject resembles my own in Vancouver.

Why is the Carney government inviting China’s propaganda machine into Canada?

Six months after Mark Carney’s historic trip to China, the first for a Canadian prime minister in nearly a decade, CBC announced it will reopen its Beijing bureau. Pending final approvals, a Canadian journalist will be permanently working in mainland China for the first time in years.

The bureau shuttered in 2022, after Beijing would not renew its correspondent’s visa. But that was when the Canadian government viewed the country as one of our greatest security threats. Today, the Canadian government says China is our “strategic partner.”

More Canadian journalists on the ground to cover a world superpower is welcome news. But will they be safe from documented spying, arrest, and harassment? What will they actually be allowed to report on?

China’s plan to dominate global food supply chains

China is about to do to the global supply chains for grains, livestock and food products what it has already done to the world’s energy and transport systems.

The country is pursuing what amounts to world dominance in the mass manufacture of protein, launching a breakneck plan to end its strategic dependence on food imports and insure its people against the long-term famine risks of climate change.

The Arctic: China Taking Over the Top of the World

This month, China’s Sea Legend Shipping launched the first regular container service through the Arctic, along what it calls the “Ice Silk Road.” The route, dubbed “China-Europe Arctic Express,” connects Ningbo, on China’s east coast, with England’s Felixstowe. The Chinese-run shipper plans eight voyages this summer season from this month to early October.

Sea Legend, which will use Russia’s Northern Sea Route, promises to cut in half the current 40-day sailing time.

House public safety committee to hold special meeting on accused NATO spy

OTTAWA — The House of Commons public safety committee will meet Monday to decide whether to investigate potential security screening failures, after a Canadian woman was arrested in Belgium for allegedly spying on NATO.

On July 25, Belgian authorities announced the arrest of a “Canadian national of Chinese origin” on suspicion of spying for a third country while working as an intern at NATO’s central military headquarters in southern Belgium. The suspect was subsequently identified as Biwei “Claire” Zhang, a computer science and systems engineering graduate in her early 30s who’d previously held positions at multiple Canadian federal agencies.

LILLEY: Canada’s trade folly? Courting China while clashing with America

“For us this is not a trade war,” Jamieson Greer said last week.

It’s a statement at odds with how Canadians have viewed the ongoing trade dispute with the United States. It’s not the first time that Greer, Donald Trump’s chief trade negotiator, has made those remarks; he’s also not the first senior American official to dispute the idea that Canada is in a trade war with the United States.

Inside “Rusty Thumbs”: How the FBI Tried to Recruit Fang Fang In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS — In May 2013, an undercover FBI employee sat down in Las Vegas with a Chinese student who had already built an unusual network stretching from Chinese government circles into the political establishment of Northern California.

To Christine Fang, the encounter appeared to offer a business relationship.

Liberal delegation urged Chinese EV maker BYD to boost Canadian demand

CALGARY — A federal delegation visiting China encouraged electric vehicle giant BYD to generate more demand for its cars in Canada and consider establishing production operations here, according to a newly released report to Parliament.

The visit came as Canadian automakers warned that Ottawa’s guaranteed five-year quota allowing 278,989 Chinese electric vehicles into the country could threaten domestic manufacturing jobs, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

‘It’s going to happen again’: Former CSIS head on how China snuck a spy into Canada’s NATO mission

Earlier last month, Belgian authorities arrested Biwei Zhang, a Canadian intern of Chinese origin working at NATO’s military headquarters in Mons, Belgium, on suspicion of espionage. Prosecutors say she is suspected of spying on behalf of a third country—identified by Reuters as China—and of belonging to a criminal organization. Before her posting to NATO, Zhang had worked across the Canadian federal government, including stints at the National Research Council, Statistics Canada, Employment and Social Development Canada, and the Canadian Space Agency. She even cleared a CSIS and RCMP background check, despite a 2023 finding that she had committed fraud.

America — Not China — Is World’s Energy Superpower

“China Is Now the World’s Great Oil Power,” The Economist declared on August 9.

So, what is the significance of this pronouncement? The world’s oil power is also the world’s energy power. The world’s energy power, in turn, is a leading contender for the world’s dominant power. “Energy is the foundational brick of the global economy,” Jonathan Bass, the CEO of Argent LNG, told Gatestone.

China, the world’s largest importer of crude oil, exerts great leverage over markets, but The Economist is nonetheless wrong.

There Aren’t Enough Ships to Handle China’s Booming Car Exports

China’s auto factories are building so many cars for export that the global shipping industry can’t keep up.

Specialized car carriers, essentially floating parking garages, are booked out years ahead to export cars from Chinese factories. Rates to charter ships are up 65% this year on the surging demand to move vehicles out of China.

Chinese carmakers are flooding foreign markets because of fierce competition between more than 100 domestic auto brands, overproduction and a sluggish economy. Now, the shipping industry is navigating skyrocketing rates and scarce capacity.
