What Is That We Need China For?

This China:

China is pushing growing numbers of Tibetan rural labourers off the land and into recently built military-style training centres where they are turned into factory workers, mirroring a program in the western Xinjiang region that rights groups have branded coercive labour.

China has been doing this for decades. For a while, it was quite trendy to be for Tibet. Now, the Uighurs have stolen that spot for cause-du-jour. There seems to be no moral fixation on being appalled by all abuses on anyone.

A petition sponsored by Conservative MP James Bezan is urging the government to apply Canada’s Sergei Magnitsky Law to sanction 14 Chinese human rights violators.

The online petition names specific Chinese officials who “demonstrate prime culpability” in the human rights abuses committed against Falun Gong adherents in China.

“For over 21 years, China’s corrupt communist party officials have been orchestrating the torture and killing of large numbers of people who practise Falun Gong, especially for their vital organs for the profitable transplant industry in China on a massive scale,” the petition says.

It calls on the federal government to “deploy all legal sanctions, including the freezing of assets and the barring of entry to Canada, against, but not limited to these perpetrating corrupt officials.”

The petition also notes the current detainment in China of Canadian citizen Sun Qian, who has been sentenced to eight years in prison, as well as another eight Falun Gong practitioners with Canadian ties who are currently imprisoned for their belief, serving sentences of up to 16 years.

 

To wit

"You know, there's a level of of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime ...

During his tenure, the National Research Council made the ‘brilliant’ decision to partner with the Chinese Communist Military on a vaccine for the virus that originated from China, despite China’s endless lies, threats against our nation, and kidnapping of our Citizens.

As you can imagine, that didn’t work out well.

China never shipped the vaccine to Canada for trials, and the partnership was cancelled.

China is using warlike tactics against Taiwan, a former defence minister in Taipei says, after Beijing dispatched fighter jets into airspace claimed by the democratic island and dismissed the notion of a centre line in the Taiwan Strait.
