Why Are We Trading With China?

 It's as bad as Justin's "reset":

The Chinese government is firing back at Canada’s ambassador to the United Nations for calling on the UN to investigate whether China’s persecution of ethnic Muslim Uighurs in its Xinjiang province is a genocide.

During a news conference Monday in Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian described Bob Rae’s comments as “ridiculous,” adding that Canada itself better fits the description of having perpetrated a genocide.

Make a it a point to make him testify:

A key witness involved in the arrest of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou two years ago has decided not to testify in the Canadian court as part of Meng's ongoing witness cross-examination, the court heard on Monday. ...

On Monday defense lawyer Richard Peck told the court one of the key witnesses, Staff Sergeant Ben Chang with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), would not be testifying after seeking counsel from a lawyer.

According to court documents, Chang, who is now retired, allegedly sent details of Meng's electronic devices to the FBI. Chang denied the allegation in an affidavit submitted to courts.

Peck told the court Chang's refusal to testify is "a matter that will be of some concern," adding that "there may be any number of consequences from his refusal to testify."

 

 

What could go wrong?:

The Department of Immigration last night said it does not track agents of the Communist Party of China posing as students, tourists and workers in Canada. The department said only a criminal conviction would prompt a review of any visitor’s visa: “It doesn’t seem to be working.”

A border standoff between China and India in the western Himalayas has seen terrifying new weapons emerge — including the use of a “microwave” weapon that sent a high-frequency blast through Indian soldiers, forcing them back from strategic hilltops.

Microwave weapons, the Times reports, send electromagnetic pulses through  their targets, which heats up human tissue and soon becomes unbearable.

The nuclear armed Asian neighbours have in recent months deployed tens of thousands of troops on the rugged frontier between India’s Ladakh region and the Chinese-held Tibetan plateau.

Tensions have run high in the region since June, when at least 20 Indian soldiers were killed after being attacked by Chinese troops using rocks and clubs. Indian officials say the Chinese troops had intruded across the disputed border in a remote valley. China said the Indian soldiers’ actions had been provocative.

 

Unlike Canada's posture of weakness, India has no compunction of letting China escape scrutiny (dare one say it? Nuclear scrutiny?)
