How to deal with a hostage-taking, extortionist China - Macleans.ca

Ambassador of China to Canada Cong Peiwu speaks as part of a panel at the Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence in Ottawa, on March 4, 2020

Beijing’s words, then, are at last as clear as its abuses of power and human rights have always been. Consider the message from its ambassador this month: If Canada “really cares about the good health and safety of those 300,000 Canadian passport holders in Hong Kong and the large number of Canadian companies operating in Hong Kong,” he told the—if it “really” cares—it will not grant asylum to protesters fleeing Beijing’s political persecution.

Asked whether his obvious threats were indeed threats, the ambassador replied, “That is your interpretation”— which is to say, the only interpretation remotely possible.

It is no longer enough that China persecutes its own people with abandon. It must be free to persecute whomever it wishes wherever it wishes, without any danger of either the persecuted finding sanctuary or the persecutors facing criticism abroad.

The western firms obtain benefits from Chinese people not China’s leaders,but seems like they forget the simple fact,they fear the retaliation of China’s authority but don’t care Chinese for once,just like the old time,deal with the slave masters,the slaves are trivial

Canada will do nothing. China owns Canadian corrupt politicians.
