I didn’t think saying Chinese nationals who come to work or study here and who return to China are sometimes involved in espionage was such an inflammatory thing to say.
China is our main enemy and the largest threat to the west. For people to try and smear that comment to hate against Chinese or Asian Canadians is total gas lighting. This will be my last comment in regards to this as it’s clear some want to make it appear nefarious.
Going a bit off topic here, but Realpolitikly speaking, why is China our enemy as opposed to the USA or anyone else? China is a separate country we trade with, its our #2 trade partner. I seem to recall us arresting Meng on the US's behalf despite the fact that the US could have forced her flight down as it flew over the US to Mexico. Trump basically screwed our trade with China and then he took a hammer to our trade and screwed us because we had to kiss his ass as we had just lost China. Remember how Trump rewarded/compensated us by imposing large tariffs on our steel+iron? The US has never really been our friend and is happy to exploit us for their own gain with no remorse. Keystone which was approved, half built, then cancelled with no compensation also being a prime example. There was a study of spies arrested in Canada and Sweden and the US were at the top of the list along with China. The Chinese don't appear to spy on us any more than our own allies, that being said I'm sure they spy on nations that actually matter to them like the US. Geopolitically speaking in terms of Russia, India+China are both very friendly/supporting Russia yet for some reason we give India a pass. Financially speaking I think the US has screwed us on many more deals than China has. If your going to look at the arrests of Canadians in China, the US has been happy to kidnap Canadians and hold them/torture them without trial in black sites even when those Canadians weren't in the US. Several countries have also done similar but the US is generally the only one happy to kidnap Canadians even outside the US.
Our once vibrant automotive industry died due to the US government offering many incentives for local production despite us supposedly being "allies".
Ideologically speaking China is a lot different than here but so is Russia and Venezuela and a whole host of other countries, many of them closer to us. China isn't the one invading Ukraine right now and at least they buy our trade goods rather than compete with us in the oil industry like Rus/Ven. Given China's high population and factory demand, they should be a huge market for our raw resources.
I'm not saying we shouldn't compete against China, but the fact is the world is not our friend and we can't pretend that any nation isn't out to get us if it benefits them. The US is quite happy to squeeze us for their own gain and have several times in the past. We are only friends when its convenient for them. If it was possible I'd be totally down for having our own nuclear weapons again but as we can't I'd suggest we should invest in accurate ICBMs in a few silos scatted across the Canadian shield. You don't need a nuke to do a lot of damage and I think the fact that we can lob a missile into the house of the leader of any nation that attacks us is a much better deterrent than people think. The fact is if Ukraine had missiles that could have hit Putin's palace I doubt the war would have happened, or at the very least I doubt Putin's would threaten nuclear attacks because Ukraine could get Moscow back.
Don't buy into US media that we're all friends with them against others. We're not really friends these are alliances of convenience. On our side we've been happy to screw NATO by reducing our military commitment to less than it should be and allowing our allies to pick up the slack.
PS: Any Chinese national outside China in Canada is usually here to try to get PR because they don't want to be in China. The fact is Western culture is infectious and being here with freedom of speech, drugs, p0rn, junk food, etc. corrupts Chinese nationals pretty fast. Don't assume a Chinese person being here is a friend of the Communist party and I think you'll see that a lot in the US as well where Venezuelans are very anti Communist because if they liked that they would have stayed. China has become a lot more free simply because Western culture has infected them and its made them lazy. The government is not as powerful as it was and power is definitely not as absolute as it was. The HK and Covid protests really showed that they would have been unthinkable 20 years ago. And I want to emphasize this again, young men do not want to give up their p0rn.
