The prime minister should be congratulated for refusing to be bullied by the People’s Republic of China into returning Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to China, though she is being detained in Vancouver for extradition on a demand from the United States for alleged commercial offences. And while we should probably extradite Meng to the United States, we should not ratify an extension of the extradition treaty with the U.S.
China’s Communist government has exploited the coronavirus crisis, which it was itself responsible for inflicting upon the world, as cover for shredding its treaty with Great Britain over Hong Kong and imposing what amounts to a hobnailed jackboot on the windpipe of that splendid and enterprising city.
We are certainly not dealing with another Nazi Germany or even a Soviet Russia. And at this point there is no reason to think that the world is in need of a containment strategy such as was devised by the Truman administration and executed by the United States and its allies under successive regimes, until without a shot being fired in anger, the Soviet Union disintegrated and international communism collapsed.
Excellent article. I hope all Nations interested in fair and peaceful advancement agree on the points made by Conrad Black. We are stronger together against a giant that seems to hope we all stay asleep.
CCP have infiltrated Canadian universities and many government agencies!
You just cannot go wrong with Conrad Black, ever. His insights are unsurpassed, his articles a history lesson we should learn from. We need more truth in Canada, he supplies it, and a lot less of the stupidity we've been subjected to since October 2015.
Whether Huawei sold stuff to Iran or not makes no difference. The Iranian sanctions are illegal to begin with since Trump reneged on a SIGNED AGREEMENT. Canada started this by obeying the White House and invited retaliation. Conrad black is a liar.
6/ 'There is a role for Canada as the fourth Pacific Ocean economy (after the U.S., China and Japan), in developing a system of incentives for the world’s major countries to adopt to help the moderate and constructively internationalist forces prevail in Beijing' - Amen Conrad!!!
5/ 'The major countries of South Asia, Australasia, Europe and the Americas should all concert on trade and sanctions policies and related matters, including the reported targeting of some Chinese nationals studying at Western universities to be potential spies' - it's about time
4/ 'Practically the whole world bought into the wishful theory that if China was facilitated in its quest for prosperity, it would become a co-operative and reasonable member at the top table of the family of nations' - Well, ConradMBlack, the world is full of 'Useful Idiots'
3/ 'Nor does it include tolerating Chinese industrial espionage on a massive scale such as, it is generally believed, effectively bankrupted the great Canadian company Northern Telecom, to stoke the growth of Huawei' So, what are the Western democracies to do? It's simple...
2/ 'Of course, China has to be accommodated up to a point. But that does not include a continuation of commercial arrangements in which in order to gain access to the Chinese market, we allow the handover of patented technologies' - It's time to ask the 2000-yrs-old questions...
1/Bravo conradmblack! While appeasing a “fake capitalism” of CCP or a “crony capitalism” of Putin is morally wrong & misguided, caving-in to China’s political extortion should be confronted! Remember, Nazi Germany also didn’t look “too dangerous & too concerning” back in 1933…
Are you talking about the Conservative Party 🤔
Conrad Black is a virus - cure-able eventually we hope.
Well he would know wouldn't he
