Elbridge Colby Has It Right on Taiwan and Ukraine

Without a realistic division of labor between the U.S. and its NATO allies, Taiwan will go undefended.

Elbridge Colby is one of the new generation of defense/national-security intellectuals in the mold of Andrew Marshall and Edward Luttwak, and, before them, Herman Kahn and Albert Wohlstetter. Colby served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for Strategy and Force Development in the Trump administration, where he led the way to shifting U.S. strategy to focus on renewed great-power rivalry after two decades of fighting “small” wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the so-called Global War on Terror. His most recent book, The Strategy of Denial: American Defense in an Age of Great Power Conflict, is a must read for understanding today’s global security environment.

Biden and Xi Hold ‘Very Blunt’ Talks After CCP Aide Shoves Reporter

President Joe Biden met with Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping on Nov. 14 for the duo’s first face-to-face meeting of the Biden presidency. The two discussed the future of Taiwan, human rights in China, and global competition but appeared to reach no new ground on any of the issues in a meeting marred by Chinese communist violence.

“We had an open and candid conversation about our intentions and our priorities,” Biden said after the meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia.

TikTok Time Is Running Out

At a time when an invasion of Taiwan by Communist China looms ever larger, why worry about TikTok?

Targeted at American teens, TikTok is a mobile app for sharing short videos, owned by a Chinese company called ByteDance. After five short years on the market, it has more than one billion users worldwide. The app has lived under deep suspicion for much of that time, as American cyber-security and counter-intelligence experts have warned about its enormous reach and direct connections to the Chinese Communist Party.

Communist Chinese spy allegedly obtained Hydro-Québec trade secrets to benefit China: RCMP

The RCMP says it has arrested a Hydro-Québec employee for espionage following a months-long investigation.

In a news release, the RCMP alleges that 35-year-old Yuesheng Wang from Candiac, Que., obtained trade secrets to benefit China, “to the detriment of Canada’s economic interests.

He’ll be released and then sue for discrimination.

Question of government’s China strategy looms as attention turns to G20 meetings

Trudeau says international authorities will make determination of Uyghur genocide

Canada is facing a key test of its China strategy, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to come face to face with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the upcoming G20 meetings in Indonesia.

Questions about Canada’s stance on Beijing — which are expected to be articulated more clearly in an upcoming release of an Indo-Pacific strategy document — followed Trudeau as he began a tour of Southeast Asia, including several days at a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Cambodia.

The opposition has also criticized the prime minister over reports that China sought to sway the 2019 federal election.

Europe has picked a side in the new Cold War – China

In the new Cold War economy, trade will be restricted, technology fenced off, and intellectual property fiercely protected. Manufacturing capabilities will be built up, and supply chains brought closer to home to ensure resilience whatever happens.

As relations between the West and China deteriorate sharply, every developed economy will have to pick a side. And it is already becoming clear which one the major powers of Europe – and the European Union itself – have chosen. China.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen example after example of major industrial and commercial ties with China deepening.

Worth your while to read this, likely indicates Junior’s leanings as well. The extent of business being done with China is eye opening.

As usual America provides protection in the Ukraine while Europe (and Canada) enjoy a free ride. That can’t last.

It reinforces my own suspicions that the USA was behind the NordStream pipeline sabotage.

Gotta keep those reluctant “allies” in line.

Trudeau won’t stand up to China’s Xi on election interference

Don’t expect Justin Trudeau to ask Chinese President Xi Jinping about China’s interference in Canada’s last two elections. A report by Global News last week revealed that Trudeau was presented with a CSIS report last January detailing China’s interference in the 2019 federal election.

Biden Wants Talks While China’s Xi Prepares for War

President Joe Biden will meet with Chinese ruler Xi Jinping on November 14 in Bali, Indonesia, on the sidelines of the G20 Summit. The talks will be, as Gideon Rachman wrote, “the first global summit of the second cold war.”

The meeting, as crucial as everyone believes it will be, should not occur. It is long past time for America to stop talking with the Chinese regime and start imposing costs for dangerous and other unacceptable behavior.

UK urged to rip out made in China smart meters that could allegedly be used to shut down the UK’s power supplies

Rishi Sunak is facing calls to get tougher with China by potentially ripping out hundreds of thousands of ‘Chinese smart meters’ which could be allegedly used to shut down UK power supplies.

On the eve of the G20 summit in Indonesia, the Prime Minister was urged to remind fellow world leaders of the ‘enormous threat’ posed by Beijing’s desire to infiltrate other countries’ infrastructure.

Former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said that although the gathering would rightly focus on Ukraine’s struggle, Mr Sunak should not miss the chance to warn allies of the dangers China poses.

Canada faces ‘peril’ without action on alleged Chinese interference, experts warn

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

The “peril” Canada faces if it chooses not to act on allegations of Chinese foreign interference is “significant,” experts on China are warning.

The comment comes after Global News reported on Monday that Canadian intelligence officials warned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that China has allegedly been targeting Canada with a vast campaign of foreign interference, which included funding a clandestine network of at least 11 federal candidates running in the 2019 election.

Canada’s China class tells Justin what to do, not the other way around.

CIA Director’s Former Think Tank Hired Experts From Nonprofits Controlled By Chinese Spy Agencies

An elite Washington, D.C., think tank has employed individuals who’ve worked for front groups controlled by Chinese spy agencies, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has employed over a dozen individuals who’ve worked in a range of capacities at China-based nonprofits set up or co-opted by Chinese intelligence agencies, including the Ministry of State Security (MSS) and the intel arm of the People’s Liberation Army.

We should know which politicians got China’s money

Can we take a break from lecturing Americans about the state of their democracy and focus for a bit on problems with our own?

Canadians love to watch from a safe distance when all the horrors and glories of the American political system are on display, as they are this week as we comb through the results of their midterm elections.

We especially love to pat ourselves on the back for the fact that our system is, for the most part, mercifully free of the most extreme elements of U.S. politics. That’s mostly just good for our national self-regard, but it would be a shame if it distracts us from the disturbing possibility that a foreign power has been actively interfering in our own recent national elections, even changing the outcome in at least one case.

From the Star no less.

John Robson: Beijing’s Influencers Are Hidden in Plain Sight and We Do Nothing

Even now he thinks they’re “games.” After all the warnings about the Chinese Communist Party’s sinister intentions and methods, our prime minister told a news conference: “Unfortunately we’re seeing that countries, state actors from around the world, whether it’s China or others, are continuing to play aggressive games with our institutions, with our democracies.” If these manoeuvres are “games,” the state actors are playing for keeps. We don’t seem to be.

What’s it going to take for the Liberals to crack down on Chinese subterfuge?

God only knows what it’s going to take.

Twelve years ago, the warning came from Richard Fadden, then the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. At least two provincial cabinet ministers and several municipal politicians were more or less puppets of the People’s Republic of China, he said, initially avoiding mentioning China by name, for the sake of discretion. “I’m making this comment because I think it’s a real danger that people be totally oblivious to this kind of issue,” Fadden said at the time.

Unless a very damaging leak emerges nothing will be done.

Canada’s China Class exemplified by sleazebags such as Dominic Barton, currently involved with turning what’s left of Canada into a 3rd world shithole via mass immigration, hold sway with our political class.

Canada has been sold out by our elites.

Trudeau ‘has failed to protect our democracy’ from China’s threats, says Poilievre

Reacting to claims that China interfered in the 2019 federal election, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has failed to protect Canada’s democracy and Conservative MPs are pushing for a parliamentary committee investigation.

Poilievre made the remarks in Vancouver while Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly was giving a speech in Toronto about the release of the Liberal government’s forthcoming Indo-Pacific strategy.

“It’s very troubling that the prime minister has known about allegations about foreign interference in Canadian elections since last January and he hasn’t taken any action,” Poilievre said.
