We Don't Have to Trade With China

Nor do we have to let its supporters in:

Foreign interference by China is “mostly aimed at improving bilateral relations,” says a Liberal Senate appointee. Senator Yuen Pau Woo (B.C.) in a sworn affidavit said he personally overheard a Chinese diplomat advise a Canadian audience on how to vote, but considered it harmless: “While such actions may offend Canadian sensibilities because of antipathy towards China they do not amount to foreign interference.”

 

(Sidebar: is that an admission?)

 

Then there would be no need to let them in, would there?

Woo needs to be given the actual boot.

Threats of mass shootings. Bomb detonations. Systematic hacking.

At a rate of roughly one every two days over the past two months, threats in Chinese have been directed to the inboxes of journalists, theaters, the police, and local lawmakers, mostly based in the United States and Taiwan. The threats have one goal: to stop the screening of a film called “State Organs.”

(Sidebar: surely the Chinese government has nothing to hide!)

The Canadian documentary, now a contender in the 2025 Academy Awards, follows the journeys of two families in search of their missing loved ones against the backdrop of communist China’s grisly state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting.

“State Organs” has screened in 15 Taiwanese cities since October as well as in San Francisco, New York City, and Japan.

“You better think before you act,” one email shared with The Epoch Times read. The sender claimed to have obtained the personal information of staff members at four theaters in Taiwan. The theaters had scheduled viewings of “State Organs” and received threats that their staff’s information would be released if the screenings went ahead.

At least two emails came with images of guns attached, with warnings that shots would be fired at audience members if the theaters didn’t cancel screenings of the film. Yet another email, this time directed at a reporter, claimed to have implanted explosives in her company’s headquarters in Taipei that would be set off unless she deleted a report on the film.

It is said that the difference between conspiracy theories and facts are a few weeks:

The report stated that several researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology fell sick with a COVID-19-like virus months before the first case emerged.

The House Oversight Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released a 520-page report on Dec. 2, detailing the findings of the subcommittee’s investigation.

The report found that the U.S. National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), and that EcoHealth Alliance Inc. used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate this research at the lab.

“By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced,” the oversight subcommittee said in a statement.
