Some Americans are now “Chinamaxxing.”
According to Mary Julia Koch, an associate editor of the Wall Street Journal’s Free Expression page, progressive Americans are “fangirling” over high-tech Chinese cities, their public infrastructure, public transit, their cultural practices, and how quickly the Chinese Communist Party is able to build them.
The Elitist Media evening news continue their mission on trade, acting as spokespeople for the Canadian prime minister instead of reporting the full scope of US-Canada relations that led to the breakdown at the negotiating table. Over the weekend and through today, an alarming omission emerges.
OTTAWA — Canada’s military reopened a formal channel to China’s People’s Liberation Army last Friday for the first time in eight years, and Canadians have learned of it only from Beijing.
China’s defence ministry says Canada and China revived their formal Defence Coordination Dialogue on September 4.
Canadians have learned of the meeting not from their own government, but from a terse statement issued by Beijing.

Job losses in EU manufacturing will rapidly increase unless Brussels stops the “colonisation” of industry by Chinese component manufacturers, a leading industry trade body has warned.
Eurometal predicts 300,000 job losses in manufacturing in the rest of 2026 because of expanding competition from China, which is now enjoying a record €1bn-a-day trade surplus with the bloc.
On Monday, Eurometal will bring its concerns to decision-makers in Brussels, staging a protest using 10 symbolic coffins in a procession around the European Commission headquarters.

Not the first time Canadians have had to rely on foreign sources for important news. It’s a perfect snapshot of the LPC’s contempt of this country.

The Canadian intern charged with espionage at NATO headquarters in Belgium was found in April near the office of the alliance’s supreme commander after a fire alarm was pulled by a suspected accomplice, a Belgian source familiar with the case told The Globe and Mail.
The intern’s unexpected appearance there triggered an investigation into her activities by the counterintelligence service of NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, known as SHAPE.
Before trial she’ll be released and perhaps allowed to return to Canada.
Either way she will manage to flee to China.
Mao Zedong, known as the “Great Helmsman,” was the most important founder of the People’s Republic of China. Nevertheless, after his death in 1976, the Chinese Communist Party tolerated criticism of his legacy. Even the CCP admitted that Mao had made mistakes, though it still claimed that he was 70 percent correct.
Prime Minister Mark Carney was right to walk away from the latest Canada–US trade talks. But he should not confuse resisting Washington with balancing Washington.
The collapse of negotiations, followed by Washington’s new 50% tariffs on roughly $28 billion of Canadian goods, marks a new rift in a relationship that will not simply return to pre-Trump normality. Carney says the United States (US) demanded too much and offered too little, including terms affecting Canadian culture, the auto sector, and Canada’s ability to negotiate future trade agreements.
OTTAWA – In April 2012, a salesman in Vancouver wrote to his partners in China with a proposition.
As The Bureau reported this week, the Iranian immigrant was describing the outlines of a trade-based money laundering architecture that enables Tehran to mount its missile and drone war machine using American technology, evading United States sanctions through clandestine Chinese trade networks operated through third parties worldwide, and prominently, set up in Canadian business networks.
China, Iran, Russia? Those are Carney’s Allies.
Several Western intelligence agencies were sent scrambling this summer to figure out what — if anything — of value an accused Canadian spy managed to access during internships at multiple agencies and government departments.
Biwei Zhang, a Canadian intern at NATO military’s headquarters in Mons, Belgium, was arrested by Belgian authorities in July on suspicion of espionage and communicating with a foreign crime entity. She has been held in pretrial detention since being taken into custody and was this week denied an appeal for release.
How does someone caught lying fail upwards?
There has been no greater gift to the Liberal Party’s powerful pro-Beijing comprador caste than U.S. President Donald Trump’s exasperating bellicosity and exhausting trade-relations vandalism. Even after nearly a decade of scandals involving China’s Uyghur slave camps, its “hostage diplomacy,” mass espionage, intellectual property theft, forced corporate co-ventures and clandestine election-interference operations, by this summer the Pew Research Centre found that Canadians had come to view China more favorably than the United States.
You could say the American president can be thanked for that.
OTTAWA — Beijing is shelling out big bucks to spread its message deep inside the Ottawa bubble, buying ad space to publish editorials in a niche Parliament Hill newspaper directly targeting Canada’s top policymakers.
Since 2022, China’s embassy in Ottawa has published 37 editorials in The Hill Times, a twice-weekly newspaper distributed on Parliament Hill with content often of interest to federal political insiders
China’s state-owned shipping giant COSCO has secretly equipped commercial vessels with sophisticated technology to collect military communications near the United States and other countries, according to senior Trump administration officials.
Two U.S. officials told Reuters that COSCO has maintained a decades-long intelligence relationship with Beijing, allowing China to collect communications signals from ships and aircraft operating across North America, Europe and Asia.
The equipment aboard COSCO vessels consists of “sophisticated signals intelligence collection” systems rather than ordinary communications hardware, the officials said.
OTTAWA — While the case of Biwei Zhang moves through the courts in Brussels, where an appeals court has extended the detention of the Canadian intern from China accused of espionage inside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s military high command, a second file involving a Chinese national living and studying in Ontario — whose phone, United States officials found, held photographs of himself and others in tactical formations holding rifle-styled firearms, after he was caught photographing American aircraft in Chicago and admitted to a similar operation at Toronto’s airport — is opening in federal court in Michigan.
Seems the LPC is a ChiCom subsidiary.
BRUSSELS – A Belgian appeals court on Monday rejected the release appeal of Biwei Zhang, the Canadian intern accused of involvement in a criminal organization and of espionage inside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s military command. The Chamber of Indictments in Brussels extended her pre-trial detention by a month.
The ruling comes days after a European investigative consortium published the most detailed reporting yet on how the closely guarded case began, and on what Canada’s part in it was.
