“China – Communist Slave State”
The abrupt disappearance of a live feed showing Taiwan’s digital minister occurred because the White House panicked over a map showing Taiwan in a different color than China, Reuters 
My year of not buying things from China
“… Anyone who makes even a notional effort to check the origins of the stuff they grab off the shelves of any big-box store understands that China is the dominant supplier. The less expensive it is, the more likely it is to have been made in a factory in Guangdong, or Jiangsu or Zhejiang. “
The China Class sold us out.
Majority of Canadians Support Full Boycott of Beijing Olympics, Poll Shows
The majority of Canadians support boycotting the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics due to China’s human rights record, while many are also concerned for the safety of the athletes who will be competing, according to a new poll.
Conducted by the Vancouver-based Research Co., the poll shows 56 percent of Canadians support boycotting the Olympics, scheduled to take place in Beijing from Feb. 4 to Feb. 20, 2022.
Canada’s diplomatic boycott of Beijing Olympics is phony virtue signalling
HALIFAX—As phony virtue signalling goes, it would be hard to beat Canada’s decision to diplomatically boycott the Beijing Olympics.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that the decision not to send government officials to the 2022 Games reflects Canada’s “deep concerns” about human rights abuses in China.
It’s a meaningless gesture against one of the most evil regimes in history but performative bullshit is Trudeau’s stock in trade. Canada’s China class seeks favour with this mass murdering regime. Justin the puppet will make sure it remains business as usual with the ChiComs.
How the West invited China to eat its lunch
… Up until 2000 China’s global economic role had been principally as one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of plastic gubbins and cheap tat. Important, yes, but neither world-beating nor world-changing.
China’s accession to the top table of world trade heralded a massive global transformation. A powerful combination of China’s willing workforce, its super-high-tech factories, and the special relationship between the Chinese government and Western multinational corporations changed the face of the planet.
An army of cheap Chinese labour began to produce the goods that underpin Western living standards, as China seamlessly inserted itself into the supply chains of the world’s biggest companies. Economists call it a “supply shock”, and its impact certainly was shocking. Its effects are still reverberating around the world.
We were sold down the Yangtze river.
Melanie Joly has no business being foreign affairs minister
Canada finally joined the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Britain in their “diplomatic” boycott of China’s Winter Olympics.
Also welcome is the departure of Canadian ambassador to China, Dominic Barton, whose closeness to China’s political and economic elite should have disqualified him from ever becoming ambassador in the first place. He, along with Canada’s powerful business elite that does business with China, gave Canada a geopolitical black eye by convincing the hapless Liberals to say or do nothing in retaliation for the kidnapping of two innocent Canadian businessmen and loss of billions in contracts.
A diplomatic boycott is a garbage cop-out man!
Order for government to release files on fired scientists ended with dissolution of Parliament: speaker
The Conservatives have lost their bid to resurrect a House of Commons order demanding the release of secret documents related to the firing of two scientists at Canada’s highest security laboratory.
Commons Speaker Anthony Rota ruled Thursday that the order expired, along with all other business before the House, when Parliament was dissolved in August for a federal election.
How China made Covid worse – The regime’s deceit stalled the pandemic response
Two years ago this week, a middle-aged man in Wuhan caught a strange respiratory disease. The 41-year-old accountant was called Chen and he worked for his family firm, commuted to work by public transport and shopped in a sleek modern supermarket rather than a traditional market selling wild animals. He had not travelled outside the city in the days before catching the disease beyond a short trip to some hills north of Wuhan and — bar one relative working in healthcare — had no obvious links to high-risk settings.
Carson Jerema: Mélanie Joly parrots Beijing lie about the two Michaels being ‘on bail’
If you ever wondered just how allergic the Liberals are to saying or doing anything that might annoy the Chinese Communist Party, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly gave Canadians a good sense of the scale of it on Wednesday. While appearing on CBC’s Power and Politics, she parroted the Beijing line that the now released Canadian hostages Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were subjected not to a ruthless kidnapping, but to a fair and just legal system.
Boinking For Xi! State media outlet says Communist party members must have three children
An editorial in a Chinese state-run news website has suggested Communist party members are obliged to have three children for the good of the country, as Beijing seeks to address plummeting birthrates.
The editorial, which was first published last month, went viral this week and drew sharp reaction from Chinese internet users, with millions of shares, views and comments. As the wave of reaction grew, the original article disappeared from the website.
The piece, published by a state media outlet called China Reports Network, said every member of the ruling party – of which there are about 95 million – “should shoulder the responsibility and obligation of the country’s population growth and act on the three-child policy”.
BONOKOSKI: Full Olympic boycott would have sent stronger message
Now that the U.S. has shuffled to the left enough for Canada to be a politically-aligned neighbor, it seemed the easy choice to follow President Joe Biden and also “diplomatically” boycott next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The China class is making sure Justin gives the appearance of defiance. It’s all a lie. It’s business as usual with the Communist Chinese slave state.
Ex-Canada Space Agency engineer charged for allegedly working with ChiCom firm
The RCMP has charged a former member of the Canada Space Agency (CSA) for allegedly working on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company.
Former CSA engineer Wanping Zheng, 61, was charged with breach of trust by a public officer on Tuesday after an RCMP investigation, the CSA said in a statement Wednesday. He is a resident of Brossard, Que., a suburb of Montreal.
Conservatives reject Liberals’ compromise deal on Winnipeg virus lab documents over firing of ChiCom scientists
OTTAWA — The Conservatives are rejecting a proposed deal over access to documents related to the firing of two scientists from Canada’s National Microbiology lab, arguing the Liberals’ efforts are too little too late.
Liberal House Leader Mark Holland offered the compromise last week. It called for striking an all-party committee to review the confidential documents, with a panel of judges enlisted to settle any disputes over whether the documents should be made public or kept secret.
Trudeau announces lame Beijing Winter Olympic diplomatic boycott
Canada will not send any official representatives to the Beijing Winter Olympics in February as part of a growing diplomatic boycott by allies over China’s record of human rights abuses.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement on Wednesday after facing several days of questions over whether Canada would stand with allies that have already announced similar plans.
The China Class wants the public fooled into believing Canada has taken a hard line against their paymasters.
Terry Glavin: Dominic Barton’s main role in bringing the Michaels home was as a flight attendant
” … Both Democrats and Republicans are raising alarms about McKinsey’s lucrative and highly sensitive contracts with the Pentagon during the Barton years while the company simultaneously provided blue-chip services to shadowy Chinese state corporations, including the blacklisted China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), which has been building heavily-militarized artificial islands in the South China Sea. It was only a few months before Barton’s appointment that Ottawa blocked the CCCC from acquiring Aecon, one of Canada’s biggest construction companies, on national security grounds.
