I notice how these passport-holders will not utter this in Seoul for some reason:
A group of Chinese-Canadian associations are marking the 70th anniversary of the Korean War by publicly condemning the United States and its allies, including Canada, as aggressors and imperialists while lauding China for fighting alongside North Korea.
More than 26,000 Canadians in the army, navy and air force served in the United Nation-authorized military campaign to defend South Korea from China-backed North Korean forces in the early 1950s. The war claimed the lives of 516 Canadians, whose chief adversaries were Chinese and North Korean troops.
Statements praising China’s role in the Korean War from five Chinese-Canadian organizations were recently posted on WeChat, the popular Chinese-language social-media platform. Apptopia, a firm that tracks mobile services, said WeChat has been downloaded 265,000 times in Canada in 2020 alone.
The quotes appeared as part of an article posted by the Come From China News WeChat account in Ottawa.
“Seventy years ago, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and the Korean people fought together to resist the invasion, took the initiative to attack and achieved victory! Let us remember this great victory,” wrote Tracy Law, a Vancouver financial adviser and president of the Guangzhou Fellow-students Association of Canada and president of the Guangdong Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Canada.
David Bercuson, a University of Calgary historian who wrote a book on the Korean War, said celebrating China’s role in the Korean War is akin to glorifying Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939.
He said it’s particularly offensive because South Korea would be living under a communist dictatorship today if it weren’t for the actions of the United States and allies including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
The United States did not start the war. North Korea, with the approval of China and the Soviet Union, did he said.
“If we had not stopped the North Koreans and the Chinese from taking over South Korea, then South Korea today would be part of North Korea.”
Chinese-backed North Korea invaded the south on June 25th, 1950.
Chinese (most of whom were not even properly armed by the communist government they praise) and North Korean troops put five hundred and sixteen Canadians in their graves so that the people of South Korea could live and eat freely.
Today, North Korea is a Third World dictatorship whose dynastic tyrant pays tribute to his Chinese financiers while his own people endure oppression.
THAT is what the passport-holders whose very presence in Canada cheapens Canadian citizenship, its sovereignty and Canada's role in this wretched stalemate celebrate freely in a country whose puppet not only praised China but lets it run its business in Canadian borders.
This sickening display of historical revisionism in favour of an authoritarian state could only be possible when Canadians not only forget who they are but forget why their sovereignty is important.
Those passport-holders who see Vancouver as Plan B for when China eventually goes kaput are not Canadians in any real sense.
