OTTAWA — The Chinese government is accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of being naive in assuming that President Donald Trump did him any favours by raising the case of two imprisoned Canadians with President Xi Jinping.
In December, Canada detained Chinese high-tech scion Meng Wanzhou at the request of the U.S. government, which wants to extradite her to face fraud charges. “I would like to caution the Canadian side against being too naive,” Geng told reporters after he was asked at a Beijing briefing whether Trump raised the matter with Xi.
Geng reiterated the Chinese view that Canada is solely responsible for the current degeneration of relations between the two countries. China has repeatedly called on Canada to release Meng.Who are they to say there is no value in Canada talking to its allies about issues that we have abroad in a multilateral system?
International Trade Minister Jim Carr scoffed at the suggestion Canada is naive in thinking its allies could help. “We talk about those two detained Canadians, we talk of allegations that our canola somehow contains impurities. And our allies are agreeing with us. And in their own way and within their own comfort zones, there are many messages being sent to Chinese officials.”
All naive!!!!!!!!!
EvaSiu21 Canadians are certainly naive if we expect fair trade and law abiding global citizenship from the CCP.
Trudeau is naive since he n Freeland have constantly taken a run at POTUS, now he’ll help? Trudeau had a chance to end it quickly, Trump said he’d release Huwaii exec if Canada extradited, Trudeau could reply,”Sure, she’s back to China, we have great respect for POTUS ....” done
Yes, Let's have Trudeau risk everything by saying he doubts Trump even brought it up... these headlines.. no wonder nobody reads msm anymore.
trudeaus depend on their dads to bail them out. Is he confused on that?
That's short of saying 'stupid'
Finsh the case and send her packing out of Canada...back to China or to the US and let the US deal with that problem. It’s only the high priced lawyers who are benefiting from her continued stay here.
mind games, why is this court case taking so long? Put it on the prosecution, present your case, then the defense to refute it and get to chambers, this should have been wrapped up inside of 3 weeks!
I may not like Justin but tell China to pound salt, we got into this because of the USA, we have every right to ask them for assistance.
Our Prime Minister is naive? How did they come to that conclusion Lol!
Can't blame Trump for not saying much about our detainees when Trudeau & Freeland have attacked him openly many times. THIS was the embarrassing 'gift' JustinTrudeau presented Trump at the G7!
Saudi Arabia, India and the Philippines have made similar observations,
TarekFatah Well must say Canada has the most handsome PM 🤩
China say really truth. Canada not has good PM. Childish Tenneger without logic. In II war Polish Gov had to ask Churchill to say Hitler not kill Polish people
Of whatever the Chinese government says, I believe the OPPOSITE. That is how I survived in China.
TarekFatah Xi in his mind : What a weak pitiful little man .
For whatever the Chinese government says, I believe the OPPOSITE. That is how I survived in China.
ABBlueSkies Correct!
Poor little potato
Naive and stupid.
TarekFatah Direct the islamic world at China... They are running islamic concentration camps!
TarekFatah Trudeau is naive
This is horrible what is Trudeau going to do? Unpopular opinion I think the Chinese executive will have to be released in order to save the lives of the two Canadian men. What choice does Canadian government have? I worry three men lives in danger. Chinese government ruthless.
Trump is doing what a leader of his own country is supposed to do. Look after his 'own' country. Something Trudeau should try doing. He asks Trump to help because he literally has no clue what to do. Hes a drama teacher. Hes not even a politician!
Trudeau actually expected Trump to help him after the G7 fiasco? Cmon.
Who says he believed Trump asked? It’s called diplomacy, and it’s a long game.
‘Naive’ is actually a very polite assessment
Well, as a country we are relying on a foreign leader (DONALD FKIN TRUMP) to help us with foreign policy - more importantly, the release of innocent Cdns (allegedly). Well... as a country we need to do better. I don’t see soft hands doing hard work to change that...
Translation : China didn’t like his tactics.
Yup
TarekFatah Not surprised at this report
There are other words that would describe Trudeau.....
look Winnie The Pooh come from china
TarekFatah unkil sote kab ho?🙏😯 when do you sleep? it is hard for me to find the time in a day when you are not tweeting/retweeting. so much energy, 🙀 unkil khate kya ho? 😜🤣
Feel sorry for Trudeau. Chinese rulers are arrogant. Laws don't mean anything to them. They can put people in concentration camp just for worshiping certain god or believing certain religion. All they know is stealing IPs, illegally occupying south china sea, debt-trapping.....
TarekFatah He was just hoping that the electorate wass naive enough to believe him.
Trump's a jerk for putting Canada in the bind like that ... it's cost Canada way more than it should have. China should see that but it's really easy for China to play the same game, with Canada in the middle. Perhaps the problem should just end up back on a flight to China, eh?
Trudeau was sitting next to Xi, why didn’t he ask himself? Too shy?
Only Canadian who believed that was JustinTrudeau . Please don’t judge all 37 million of us by the thoughts of the person you had to sit beside at G20.
What goes around comes around. Canadians have very long memories.
We all know Trudeau is NAIVE, INCOMPETENT, a MORON and in way over his head even with a tele-prompter. We pay this idiot to look after Canada’s domestic and foreign policy and he’s done NOTHING but screw it all up...how could anyone vote for him?
Just more Trudeau bs.
Somebody in Japan has a great sense of humour putting baby potato head beside Xi.
This is the cost of electing a simpleton.
God damnit tater-tot!!
Imagine what they’re calling him behind closed doors.
Oh no!!! Really? Trump lied! Noooo. Well, I personally think Canada should just release the executive they are holding at the request of the American government. Simple
Put up or let her go you are making a mockery of Canada. Stupid libratards
But he's the darling of CBC,CTV
China can go fornicate themselves with a big metal bar
You can’t show me one Canadian politician that I feel can stand against China on equal footing. We should’ve just let her go. Trump isn’t rushing to prosecute her anyways.
Well, ' naive' is one adjective. I am sure there were others as well.
But CBC is reporting Trump did speak to Xi about the two Michaels. They apparently 'learned' it through the PMO. lmao
And they’re probably right.
Headline does not match article. T
Anybody who believes anything Trump says is 'naive'.
Wake up Prime Minister pretty pants, Trump only cares about Trump....period!
