. The war claimed the lives of 516 Canadians, whose chief adversaries were Chinese and North Korean troops.
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. “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.”Story continues below advertisement
She said the comments mirror statements last week by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Mr. Xi last week marked the 70th anniversary of China’s entry into the Korean war, characterizing it as fighting off “imperialist invaders,” a reference to the U.S. and allies including Canada, and how it was a fight against “U.S. aggression.” He was later accused of distorting history by South Korea’s foreign minister.In his speech, Mr. Xi said China’s performance in the Korean War"broke the myth that the U.
Charles Burton, a former Canadian diplomat in China and senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, said it is regrettable some Chinese Canadian organizations choose to echo recent comments of Mr. Jinping.
As a Chinese-Canadian, I hate those who enjoy the democracy of Canada,enjoy the beautiful land in North America,but support a foreign country.Those people should be expelled because they will worsen the situation of Chinese-Canadian who loves Canada.
Geepers that recount is just plain wrong. At least we know where the organizations loyalties lie.
Most know the horrors of countries that underwent revolutions and how revolutionary governments always erase the past to make themselves look good so people forget suffering. Which is why it is more important than ever to be humble and firm while at the same time understanding..
There’s even a recent movie, called ‘The Sacrifice’ in mainland China glorifying this distorted history of Americans initiating the Korean War ffs!
Kick em out.
Plz, be very careful when you use the term ”Chinese Canadian”. Probably 1000 different cultures around the world are called” Chinese”. You don't generalize the Chinese Canadian whose family came to Canada in the 19th century and the Chinese newcomer from Beijing as the same thing
Sad for them. They are mostly first generation immigrants from mainland, where they have been heavily brainwashed. WeChat is their most convenient way to contact family/friends back in China, at the same time, they are fed by the CCP propaganda, though these people will die off !
I don’t think those groups representing majority of Chinese immigrants in Canada. They just have to do something after receiving money from Chinese government
Those conscious ones from Chinese community need to speak out, and promote the real history and Canada value to those brainwashed ones.
crazy
Trudeau: “A Canadian is a Canadian, is a Canadian.”
There are 1 million Chinese in Canada today, so if US ever drag Canada in to a hot war with China again, even with 1% who is loyal to China, Canada is gonna have to face a domestic army of 10,000 blowing up big and small cities across the country.
It’s so disgusting.Xi is making enemies by speed of light in home and outside. A day is not far away when CP of China is-going to kick him out. Chinese Canadians ...beware of his intentions!
Stupid Canada's Liberal government always turns a blind eye on WeChat's influence on Chinese-Canadians, and does nothing about it. The stupid ignores the action taken by US government against WeChat.
What part of this is surprising? If a person leaves their birth country, they will always be a citizen and sympethetic to that country first and more than the country they moved to. Who wouldn't? 🤔
globepolitics They lost their secret war.
As Chinese, you cant hold dual citizenship, if they do, they are in violation and sure they should choose greater China citizenship. We will be ok
globepolitics Still posting this kinda sh*t, globe and mail? So disappointing to see you publish this bs to incite bigotry. You can do better since you were caught publishing stories against Syria. Sheesh.
Canada must stand for righteousness
I hope CSIS is monitoring.
Fought, rather?
Newsflash: Fuck these groups
Clearly these organisations take their orders from PRC and, despite their weasel words, it's clear where their loyalties lie. The Government should expel them forthwith. Why would you welcome people who are backing a hostile power?
Well the solution is simple! These peolpe should all move to China!
Such a disgusting news. These Chinese Canadians enjoy freedom and liberty in the west while embrace the totalitarian regime who locked up Uyghurs in camps. Any attempt to rewrite the history would result in failure.
