“China – Communist Slave State”

The 2 Michaels are home. But what about the 115 Canadians still detained in China?

All eyes were on Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor on Saturday as the two returned home following nearly three years spent in apparent arbitrary detention in China.

Heartwarming images and video surfaced of the two reuniting with their families. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday called their homecoming “good news for all of us,” noting that they had both gone through an “unbelievably difficult ordeal.”

But as of Sunday at least 115 Canadians remain in custody in Chinese prisons, Global Affairs Canada said in an emailed statement to Global News. Not all Canadians imprisoned in China are in arbitrary detainment, but the agency said at least four of those jailed are on death row.

It appears most are drug dealers…

White House says ‘no link’ between Huawei case and freed Canadians

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki insisted Monday that there’s “no link” between the U.S. settling criminal charges against a Huawei Technologies Co. executive last week and China’s release, hours later, of two Canadians accused of spying.

Huawei’s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, received a hero’s welcome from the Chinese government upon her return to Shenzhen on Saturday after reaching a deferred prosecution agreement with U.S. prosecutors.

…She said the U.S. would not refer to the episode as a prisoner swap and dismissed questions about whether China would be encouraged to seize foreign hostages in any future legal disputes.

Repulsive: John Kerry Accepts China’s Genocide to Get Climate Deal

“Well, life is always full of tough choices in the relationship between nations,” said John Kerry, responding to Bloomberg’s David Weston on September 22. Weston had asked him, “What is the process by which one trades off climate against human rights?”

What is wrong with Kerry’s response? For one thing, such a trade-off violates the Genocide Convention of 1948, which requires signatories, such as the United States, to undertake “to prevent and to punish” acts of genocide. China is committing “genocide,” as defined in Article II of the Convention, against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other Turkic minorities.

Imagine Kerry dealing with the Nazi regime.

China says Canada should ‘draw lessons’ from Huawei exec case

BEIJING, Sept 27 (Reuters) – The release of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou shows China’s strength and Canada should “draw lessons,” China’s foreign ministry said on Monday, after state media called it an opportunity for a reboot of bilateral relations.

Meng landed in Huawei’s home city of Shenzhen aboard a government-chartered plane on Saturday to much fanfare, ending her near three-year U.S. extradition fight, the same day two Canadians detained by Beijing shortly after Meng’s 2018 detention returned home.

Meng’s return shows the ability of the Chinese government and ruling Communist Party to protect its citizens, companies, and interests, foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular daily briefing.

Adam Zivo: Canada needs to talk about China’s apparent election interference

Though the recent election was mostly an expensive waste of time, it highlighted an emerging problem that all Canadians should be worrying about: China’s interference into Canada’s domestic politics.

For months, disinformation experts have been sounding the alarm about influence campaigns organized by the People’s Republic of China. In February, CSIS noted that China is aggressively targeting Canadians — a sentiment which was echoed by the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, as well as civil society actors such as the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

Canada is soft on China and the U.S. knows it

Canada was never a global superpower and, frankly, didn’t need to be. Where other nations had military might and economic weight to throw around, we had international goodwill, a reputation for doing the right thing, and an enviable relationship with the United States. Under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that relationship has now been squandered at the cost of our international credibility.

Chinese government initiated dialogue to release two Michaels: Canada’s ambassador to the U.S.

EDMONTON — Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. says the Chinese government initiated the dialogue to release Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

Speaking to CTV’s Question Period Sunday, ambassador Kirsten Hillman said that as the judicial negotiation of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou’s case with the U.S. Department of Justice came closer to a resolution, China began to bow to pressure to release the two Canadians.

I don’t doubt it. But it was done to suit China’s ends & not out of the goodness of their heart or fear of public opinion. It further serves to drive a wedge between Canada and its allies, especially the US. Trudeau is a useful idiot.

Joe Biden and China on a collusion course?

While reading a New York Times story about the Justice Department plan to drop serious charges against a Chinese tech executive, I looked for the Hunter Biden angle. It wasn’t a long search.

After noting the 2018 arrest in Canada of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, at the request of the Trump administration, the Times called the case a “symbol of the tumultuous relationship” between America and China.

Then came this: “The deal to release Ms. Meng could signal a more conciliatory approach in Washington’s stance toward Beijing under the Biden administration.”

Terry Glavin: Only Chinese strongman Xi Jinping knows why the Michaels were released

We should all be very happy that the 1,019-day prison ordeal endured by Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in China has finally ended. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is quite right that we should be happy for them, and for their families, if only because everything else about this whole squalid business has given Canadians every reason to feel disgusted, embarrassed, ashamed and angry.

With the swap of the two Michaels for Meng Wanzhou, experts say hostage diplomacy seems to have worked for China — for now

After years of denying the imprisonment of the two Michaels for espionage had anything to do with the arrest of Meng for fraud, China seemed to have dropped the charade. This was hostage diplomacy, and it looked to have paid off.

“I am shocked at what happened yesterday, genuinely shocked,” said Stephanie Carvin, associate professor of international relations at Carlton University. “China has been doing everything it can to try and make the case that the two incidents are completely separate. By letting the two Michaels go, even before Michael Kovrig had his sentence handed down, it just shows exactly what this is about.”

Only an academic “expert” could be “genuinely shocked” about China’s machinations.

Sabrina Maddeaux: So China let the two Michaels go. This won’t end here

There are plenty of celebratory headlines to go around about Friday’s release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor from Chinese prisons, however it’d be a mistake to misconstrue the event as a win for Western democracies. This was not a happy ending, but rather an escalation of China’s unapologetic bully tactics on the international stage.

Daphne Bramham: Meng Wanzhou is free, so now what?

With the Huawei executive’s extradition now taken care of, Canada no longer has an excuse to not clarify its China policy

So long. Farewell. Auf Wiedersehen. Goodbye. And please, Meng Wanzhou, don’t come back.

The Huawei executive can finally leave Vancouver and go home to China after being freed Friday by a New York court that confirmed a “deferred prosecution agreement” on charges of fraud and conspiracy.

China clamps down on cartoons in latest morality move

China’s broadcasting regulator said it will encourage online producers to create “healthy” cartoons and clamp down on violent, vulgar or pornographic content, as Beijing steps up efforts to bring its thriving entertainment industry to heel.

The National Radio and Television Administration said in a notice posted late on Friday that children and young people were the main audience for cartoons, and qualified agencies need to broadcast content that “upholds truth, goodness and beauty”.

Canada’s China Class Blames Trump for Meng Detention – Anxious to display renewed fealty to Xi’s Genocidal regime

Resolving Meng case removes giant thorn from Canada’s business relationship with China

Canada has a strong extradition law with the United States to prevent people accused of crimes from avoiding justice across the border. Some observers suspect the former U.S. administration led by Donald Trump exploited that strong relationship to weaken Canada’s ties with China.

“It depends how cynical you are,” said Houlden, who has worked in China and is well connected in Washington, D.C. “Some would say by putting a spike in Canada-China relations, which the Meng Wanzhou extradition case certainly did, that may well have served U.S. strategic interests as well.”

I may have missed it but I do not recall mention of the Uyghur genocide in this CBC article which reads like a propaganda piece for the Liberal Government’s China Class. Sickening to read that Canada’s trade with China actually increased during the hostage taking.

It’s no wonder Canada has become a pariah among former allies and illustrates why we should never trust the corporate and political classes.

Terry Glavin: Justin Trudeau went all in on China a decade ago — and nothing can shake his resolve

Justin Trudeau has been singularly focused on trade with China, regardless of what the country’s sadistic leadership does

In the way the story’s usually told, relations between Canada and China are said to be at the lowest point in decades, or at an all-time low, or chillier than ever. But any close examination of the relationship will show that what these expressions more precisely describe is an ongoing, abject humiliation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government by China’s capricious and sadistic supreme ruler, Xi Jinping.

Justin was re-elected thanks to Xi and Canada’s China Class so why wouldn’t he be Gung-ho?
