Why Are We Trading With China?

There is no benefit for the West in keeping this communist octopus alive:

A new special parliamentary committee created to examine Canada’s fraught relationship with China is holding its first meeting in Ottawa.

The committee’s creation was the result of a Conservative motion passed in December, thanks to support from other opposition parties in the minority Parliament.

The motion authorizes the committee to order the prime minister, Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and Canada’s ambassador to China, Dominic Barton, to appear as witnesses “from time to time as the committee sees fit.”

Champagne congratulated members of the committee in a letter Monday, where he focused on the importance of Canada’s relationship with China while also reiterating concern over the detention of Canadian citizens Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

Right there one can see that Champagne is full of sh--.

How often has human rights been paid lip service but trade and good relations with China continued?

If the rule of law mattered at all to the government, Meng Wanzhou would be begging for immunity in the US right now.

This is a smoke and mirrors gesture, just like the Iranian pantomime currently being acted out (the one that treats Canadian passport-holders as Iranian citizens and does not demand that an official implicated in crimes against humanity recuse himself. That pantomime.).
