Philippines Is ‘Next Ukraine’: China Escalating in South China Sea

On August 23, China’s foreign ministry said that the country had taken “countermeasures” against two Philippine military aircraft near Subi Reef in the South China Sea.

Four days earlier, Chinese Coast Guard vessels, without justification, rammed two Philippine boats near Sabina Shoal as they tried to resupply forces stationed at Flat and Nanshan Islands.

Canada to Hit China With 100% Tariffs on Electric Vehicles, 25% on Steel

Canada will impose new tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, aluminum and steel, lining up behind western allies and taking steps to protect domestic manufacturers.

The government plans to announce a 100% levy on electric cars and 25% on steel and aluminum, according to people familiar with the matter, speaking on condition they not be identified because the matter is still private. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to unveil the policy in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he’s gathered with the rest of his cabinet for a series of meetings about the economy and foreign relations.

Trudeau government’s policy record speaks volumes

The greatest impact on the policies of the Trudeau government, unquestionably, has been the Liberals’ personal and business relationships with China’s political leadership in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the governing Liberals continue to evade inquiries and obfuscate the facts surrounding their involvement with the CCP. It appears with the Trudeau government Canadians will never know of the ties that bind us to China and the undue influence applied by the CCP.

Foreign interference inquiry hears CCP agents worked on 2021 elections polls

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operatives allegedly acted as Elections Canada poll workers in the 2021 campaign, according to documents submitted to a federal inquiry, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

Former Conservative MP Leona Alleslev in a sworn affidavit said she was told by Chinese Canadian constituents they knew of foreign operatives working at polling stations.

China’s Olympic Medals

China has won 40 gold medals at the 33rd Summer Olympic Games, tying with the U.S. and ranking second in total medal count (91), just 35 medals behind the Stars and Stripes team. But is China really that good at sports as it has been proclaiming after each Olympics in recent years?

The modern Summer Olympics were revived from the ancient Greek Olympics, which had been discontinued for centuries. This tradition was resurrected in 1896, when the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, the sacred site where ancient Greeks gathered to compete for glory.

Canada Reliant on China for Copper to Achieve Lower Carbon Emissions Goals: Report

Canada’s goal of reducing carbon emissions cannot be achieved without relying on China, a new energy industry report says.

The key to success is copper, an essential component of electrification, according to the authors of “Securing Copper Supply: no China, no energy transition,” published by data and analytics firm Wood Mackenzie.

China dominates in the smelting and refining of copper, which is essential to creating tools needed for cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions, the report says.

Would you buy an affordable EV made in China?

As the federal government mulls whether to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, some Canadians say they would jump at the chance to buy a cheaper EV manufactured in that country.

Ottawa held a month-long consultation in July on how to handle Beijing’s powerful presence in the EV sector. Tariffs are among the options on the table.

Michael Wawrykowicz, who lives in Edmonton, uses a small Mitsubishi EV he bought second-hand four years ago for short trips around the city.

Given this is the CBC, I suspect the article is a trial balloon sent up by the Trudeau gov’t.

Nolte: Hollywood Sold Its Soul to China, Then the Devil Tricked Them

For two decades, Hollywood pandered to the Nazis in the communist Chinese government, and now China hardly screens Hollywood’s movies anymore.

Why Canadian tariffs on Chinese EV are absolutely necessary

The Center for Strategic & International Studies just revealed the enormity of China’s subsidization of its EV industry

Will she or won’t she? Will Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announce tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles this week? If so, will she follow the American lead and tack on a 100% levy on any battery-powered vehicle BYD or Geely might dare to try to import to the United States? Or will ours be a more nuanced — dare I say World Trade Organization-approved — approach like the “variable” tariffs the E.U. are finalizing? The entire Canadian automotive industry awaits her decision with bated breath, with more than $50 billion — the monies promised to Volkswagen, Stellantis, et al to build battery plants here in the Great White Frozen North — hanging in the balance.

What are Trudeau’s China class backers saying?

Why RCMP Launched a Special Program to Counter CCP in Quebec

Toronto and Vancouver have the largest Chinese and Hong Kong diaspora populations in Canada, yet it was in Quebec that the RCMP launched a special program to encourage the community to report cases of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) harassment.

The program was launched in early July and features social media videos in Chinese, French, and English, with the Quebec RCMP announcing that it is actively engaged in investigating Chinese interference in the province. It also features uniformed officers going into the Chinese community and encouraging people to report cases of harassment by the Beijing regime.

The political consensus on taxing Chinese imports is now complete — your move, Minister Freeland

Now that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his party have joined the chorus calling for more action against Chinese imports, a key decision facing Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland this month just got a little easier.

Cross-party consensus on the wisdom of lining up with the Biden administration’s incoming tariffs on made-in-China electric vehicles provides the government with more political cover. But there’s still a risk of incoming flak.

To understand how complicated this gets, consider how then-president Donald Trump’s earlier campaign against Chinese state-sponsored overproduction played out for the United States and its trading partners in what was then NAFTA, now the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). That policy debate got very confusing for voters who like to slot politicians on a predictable left-right axis.

China Is Now Goading Iran into Attacking Israel

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi on August 11 told Iran’s acting foreign minister that Beijing supports the Islamic Republic defending its “sovereignty, security, and national dignity.” Wang said that killing Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh, the terrorist group’s political leader, in Tehran violated Iran’s sovereignty and threatened regional stability.

As countries around the world pressure Iran not to strike Israel — Tehran blames the Jewish state for the bomb that killed Haniyeh on July 31 — China was, in effect, publicly goading Iran to act.

Ottawa Says It’s in Touch With Swiss Officials After Canadian Arrested on Suspicion of Spying for China

Canadian officials say they are working with Swiss authorities in the case of a Canadian who has been arrested in that country on suspicion of spying for China.

The man’s arrest came to light as part of a joint investigation by German news outlet Der Spiegel, Swiss media company Tamedia, and North Korea-focused website NK News.

The saga of the spy named “Craig” continues …

Poilievre vows 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs as Liberals’ next move unclear

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has pledged to match steep U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles if elected, something the Liberal government is considering but has to decide on.

The call comes after Ottawa wrapped up a 30-day consultation process on Chinese EVs last week and has not said when those findings — or any decisions that may come as a result — will be made public.

The Conservative leader is also calling for tariffs on Chinese steel, aluminum, EV batteries, and wants Ottawa to stop handing out rebates for the purchase of Chinese EVs.

A Spy named “Craig”: Former Canadian UN official detained in Switzerland over espionage on behalf of China

A former Canadian UN official who currently works as a North Korea expert is being detained in Switzerland over espionage suspicions, according to media reports Thursday.

The reports were part of a joint investigation by German news outlet Der Spiegel, Swiss media outlet Tamedia and NK News, a U.S. news outlet providing analyses on North Korea. CTV News has not independently verified the story.

NK News names him as “Craig” that’s it.

North Korea expert, missing for months, detained in Switzerland for espionage

Friends grew concerned when Craig suddenly stopped responding to messages earlier this year. The North Korea expert and former U.N. official regularly traveled to China for his work as an environmental consultant, and some feared Beijing had detained him. Others suspected a health scare. His wife only told friends and family that he was OK but couldn’t be contacted.

Now it turns out that Craig, whom friends described as a kind and funny person with a deep interest in improving the lives of North Koreans, was in a Swiss prison the whole time.
