Trump Should Stop Sharing Intel With The U.K. Until It Punishes Chinese Espionage

The recent collapse of the prosecution in a major China spy case has unfolded as one of the most significant scandals for the U.K.’s Labour government since it assumed power last year.

At the center of this case are Christopher Berry and Christopher Cash, British citizens who both have connections to China. Witness statements from Matthew Collins, the U.K.’s deputy national security adviser, reveal that Berry was recruited by China’s spy agency, the Ministry of State Security (MSS), to gather intelligence on the U.K. parliament while he was teaching in China.

GOLDSTEIN: Liberals back on China bandwagon

Six months after Prime Minister Mark Carney called China Canada’s greatest security threat, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is gushing about forging a “strategic partnership” with it.

“There are going to always be challenges in any relationship,” Anand cheerily told The Canadian Press last week. “What we are aiming to do is recalibrate the relationship, so that it is constructive and pragmatic.”

The Libs were never off China.

From WTO to Net-Zero: Observers Question the West’s Persistent Hope That China Will Reform Through Engagement

As then-Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault faced questions about his travel to China in 2023 amid reports of widespread interference by Beijing in Canada’s internal affairs, he said engagement with China was needed to tackle climate change.

Last month, Prime Minister Mark Carney also had words of praise for China on net-zero initiatives, saying on Sept. 22, “In my experience with China, they are, amongst other things, very sincere and engaged on climate.”

Liberal Party Goes Full ChiCom

Anand says Canada is in a ‘strategic partnership’ with China

OTTAWA – Just three years after Canada called China a “disruptive global power,” Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Canada now views Beijing as a strategic partner in a dangerous world.

Anand told The Canadian Press on Monday that a strategic partnership with China means going beyond allowing individual irritants to strain the entire relationship and permitting Canada to advance its economic and security interests.

Chinese fentanyl kingpin with 20 aliases captured in Cuba

He worked in the shadows, using at least 20 aliases: some knew him as “Mr Haha” or as “Brother Wang”. To others he was “Mr T” or “Nelson Mandela” apparently reflecting his childhood heroes. To his neighbours in Mexico City, he was just “Pancho”.

His scruffy appearance and diminutive size gave few clues that he was, according to the US authorities, an immensely wealthy kingpin who bridged the gap between China and the two most powerful drug cartels in the world.

How China Took Over the World’s Rare-Earths Industry

When China tightened restrictions on rare-earth exports this month, stunning the White House, it was the latest reminder of Beijing’s control over an industry vital to the world economy.

Its dominance was decades in the making.

Since the 1990s, China has used aggressive tactics to build up and maintain its lock over rare-earth minerals, which are essential to making magnets needed for cars, wind turbines, jet fighters and other products.

Rights Groups Urge Ottawa to Maintain Chinese EV Tariffs Amid Canola Dispute

Human rights and civil society groups are urging Ottawa to maintain tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs), saying that allowing them into the Canadian market could pose national security risks.

Pro-democracy group Saskatchewan Stands with Hong Kong issued a press release on Oct. 16, calling on the federal government to maintain its tariffs on Chinese EVs “in light of serious national security concerns.” The call comes after China’s ambassador to Canada last weekend suggested that dropping the tariffs could prompt Beijing to lift its levies on Canadian canola–a proposal Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew have urged Ottawa to consider.

P.E.I. Land Regulator’s Past Ties to Law Firm Representing Buddhist Groups Raise Questions

OTTAWA — As Prince Edward Island calls for an RCMP investigation into allegedly suspicious foreign land acquisitions, The Bureau has learned that the prominent lawyer now chairing the province’s land regulator — the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (IRAC) — previously spent more than 20 years with the same P.E.I. law firm that represented Buddhist organizations IRAC was mandated to investigate.

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

Mass – “House church” China

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.
