The lure of China – What Carney hopes to gain from a Canadian reset with Beijing

Beijing’s biggest fish bazaar is a briny-smelling maze of stalls stocked with massive crabs from Russia, purple lobster from Australia and yellow croaker fish from China’s southeastern coast.

What’s increasingly hard to find at Jingshen Seafood Market, however, are products from Canada: the casualties of a punishing trade war between Ottawa and Beijing.

This lost business is becoming harder for Canada to write off as the United States under Donald Trump grows increasingly protectionist and unpredictable.

Canadians warming slightly toward China amid economic concerns

After years of strained relations, Canadians are showing a modest shift in their views of China, according to new research from the Angus Reid Institute and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.

While favourability remains low, more Canadians are signalling interest in focusing on economic engagement with the Asian powerhouse.

It’s not exactly a Love-In.

NATO shouldn’t exist, China told MEPs

Chinese lawmakers told members of the European Parliament that NATO shouldn’t exist, and spouted Russian talking points about the war in Ukraine at a rare meeting in Brussels on Thursday.

The three-hour meeting between the EU Parliament’s China delegation and members of China’s National People’s Congress was the first of its kind in seven years, and came after Beijing’s decision earlier this year to lift sanctions on current and former MEPs.

But rather than a diplomatic thaw, the meeting was tense and testy, marked by the Chinese side challenging NATO’s legitimacy.

China condemned over arrest of 30 Christians

Foreign governments and human rights groups have condemned the arrest of leaders of one of China’s largest underground Christian churches at a time of growing tension between Washington and Beijing.

The US and Germany have called for the release of 30 pastors of the Zion Church, including its founder, Jin Mingri, known as Ezra Jin. He was arrested on Saturday, seven years after the authorities imposed travel restrictions that have prevented him from visiting his family, who live in exile in the US.

Team Canada shoots on its own net in trade talks with China

There goes Team Canada.

The rock-solid group of premiers fighting as one in a trade war are being chipped apart, their united front undone not just by the threats of U.S. President Donald Trump but by the promises of the Chinese ambassador Wang Di.

Now Canada, caught in a trade war with two capricious superpower partners, is negotiating against itself. This country might as well put up a sign inviting bigger players to come to fleece us.

Canada must call China’s bluff on canola

China’s decision to slap duties on Canadian canola is meant to send a message: submit to removing the tariff on Chinese EVs, or pay the price. For too long, Beijing has treated Canadian farmers as pawns in a geopolitical chess game. But this time, the message should go the other way. Canada holds the trump card. If we call China’s bluff, absorb the short-term cost, and invest in value-added capacity, we can break the cycle of economic coercion once and for all.

This is a wish dream.

Canada’s Titans of industry are corporate welfare bums unwilling to invest to improve productivity.

Instead they live it up behind a gated community of government supported cartels, tax payer subsidies, interprovincial trade barriers and the import of masses of unskilled labour.

This is what the Elbow people are protecting.

Seize China’s Companies Now

On October 12, the Dutch government, citing concerns about technology transfers, announced it had taken control of Chinese-owned Nexperia, a commodity microchip maker. The Netherlands invoked for the first time the Availability of Goods Act to assume management of a company.

Finally, a government is moving to deny China the ability to pillage a foreign technology business. Other nations should follow Amsterdam’s action.

Ford says there’s ‘no damn way’ tariffs on Chinese EVs should be scrapped

Premier Doug Ford insists there isn’t a major split in ‘Team Canada’ approach, as prairie provinces urge the federal government to drop electric vehicle tariffs, which are in place predominantly to shield Ontario jobs.

A letter from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew to Prime Minister Mark Carney last week urged him to drop 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, after China’s ambassador suggested his country would end its crippling canola tariffs in response.

Chinese CEO Fired European Executives and Transferred Banking Powers to Suspicious Individuals: Inside Europe’s First National Security Seizure of a Chinese-Owned Chip-Maker

THE HAGUE — The Dutch government has released court documents detailing the explosive national-security seizure of a Chinese-owned semiconductor firm, revealing that CEO Zhang Xuezheng fired senior European executives, transferred treasury powers to individuals “with no clear role,” and conducted more than $100 million in suspect financial transactions with Chinese-linked entities.

KLEIN: Carney’s golden chance to rescue Prairie farmers

Prime Minister Mark Carney has been handed a golden parachute by the Chinese government. Their ambassador has said quite plainly: if Canada removes its 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, China will reciprocate by dropping its crippling levies on Canadian agriculture, most notably canola and pork. It’s not a gift. It’s leverage. But it’s an opportunity.

CHARLEBOIS: Dear Ottawa, you can’t eat an electric vehicle

China rarely telegraphs its diplomatic intentions so openly. Yet in recent days, Beijing has done just that — signalling that if Canada were to lift its tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles China would, in turn, remove the punitive tariffs it has placed on Canadian agricultural exports such as canola.

In the often-opaque world of trade diplomacy, such clarity is unusual. And in this case, it’s an unmistakable invitation to de-escalate. So far, Ottawa seems unwilling to take it.

Not an enviable position for Canada. Will the Elbow people purchase China’s EV’s?

Trump is bringing auto-assembly back to the US so Ontario’s auto industry is going to be significantly diminished regardless of which path Carney chooses.

I’m sure Canada’s China class and Carney’s own web of interests will result in a decision favouring Communist China.

It will be interesting to see Trump’s reaction. Ontario will suck even more.

White House Alarm Over Britain’s China Spy Scandal — A Mirror of Trudeau’s Five Eyes Rift

The LPC was a compromised by foreign influence under Trudeau. Carney continues that tradition.

LONDON — As new details surface from MI5’s counter-intelligence probe into two men accused of gathering information on Conservative China-sceptic MPs, The Sunday Times reports that the White House has privately warned Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government that Britain’s failure to prosecute the alleged Chinese spies could jeopardize U.S.–UK intelligence sharing within the Five Eyes alliance. U.S. officials told the paper that the abrupt collapse of the high-profile espionage case — involving parliamentary researcher Chris Cash and China-based academic Christopher Berry, who was reportedly intercepted returning to Britain with encrypted communications apps used exclusively by Chinese intelligence operatives — has shaken Washington’s confidence in London’s reliability on counter-espionage cooperation.

Kinew says drop tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to get Chinese duties dropped

WINNIPEG – Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is asking the prime minister to scrap Canada’s 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in return for China lifting its tariffs on Canadian canola and pork.

Kinew says in a letter to Mark Carney on Saturday that while he believes protecting Canada’s vehicle industry is important, he says the country’s approach “has created a two-front trade war that disproportionally affects Western Canada.”

The premier says in the letter that China’s tariffs — widely seen as a response to Canada imposing the electric vehicle levy — have already caused a sharp drop in canola prices and that one vertically integrated pork producer in Manitoba is reporting a $19 million negative impact on an annual basis.

Is Carney leaning east to China?

China will remove canola tariffs if Canada scraps EV levies: ambassador

China will remove its tariffs on Canadian agriculture — including on canola products — if Canada scraps its levies on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), that country’s ambassador says.

“If Canada removes the unilateral unjustified tariffs on Chinese products, China will also reciprocate accordingly,” Wang Di said through a translator in an exclusive interview with CTV Question Period airing Sunday. “And if the EV tariffs are removed, then China will also remove the tariffs on the relevant products of Canada.”

I would not be surprised if Carney plays the China card.

Canada is deeply corrupted by Communist China and defiance of the US will create opportunity for Carney’s carpetbagger pals.

The Elbow people will be in 7th Heaven.

On Which Side of History Will You Stand? A Former Mountie’s Challenge to Canada’s Lawmakers

OTTAWA — When we held the press conference unveiling Canada Under Siege: How P.E.I. Became a Forward Operating Base for the Chinese Communist Party, we did much more than launch a book. We set down a marker: Canada has entered a new era of contestation — over influence, sovereignty, and the integrity of its democratic institutions.

Now, the question we pose to every political actor — federal, provincial, and municipal — is this: On which side of history will you stand?
