Last week, Woo got a similar reaction when he tweeted about the release of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, the two Canadians arbitrarily detained by China for nearly three years in retaliation for Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou at the behest of the United States.
That earned Woo a scathing rebuke from Chris Alexander, a former diplomat and one-time immigration minister in Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. John Manley, a former Liberal deputy prime minister and Canadian foreign affairs minister, said at the time that Trump’s comments had “given Ms. Meng’s lawyers quite a good reason to go to the court and say, ‘This is not an extradition matter. This is actually leverage in a trade dispute and it’s got nothing to do with Canada.”‘Article content
“I am Exhibit A, if you will, only because I have a bit of public profile,” Woo said in an interview. Woo points to reports suggesting that Chinese Canadians might have been influenced by or acting on the behest of China when they voted in last month’s federal election, resulting in the defeat of several Conservative incumbents who had advocated a hardline stance against Beijing.
When Woo spoke against the motion labelling China’s treatment of Uyghurs a genocide last June, he argued that Canada, given its history of forcing Indigenous children to attend residential schools, should not try to lecture China from a position of moral superiority on human rights.Article content
Criticism of anyone that belongs to an ethnic group is not racism.
Anti China is not asian racism. Lets be clear.
China’s regime is the enemy of liberty, it is the enemy of religion, it is the enemy of life. Because the regime is the enemy of liberty, religion, and life, it is evil. And because it is evil, it is our enemy. CCP CommunistParty CommunistChina
Recognizing that china spread c19, and benefitted from sales of masks, low oil prices, etc., is not anti asian, not anti Japan, not anti Russia, not anti Korea, or Taiwan, or India, or Sri Lanka.😕

Look, china lost/initiated the virus. China was only country to have economy improvement in 2020. Only country to increase energy consumption in 2020. At bargain basement prices for crude oil. And china sells the masks by the billions. Not Japan. Not indonesia. Not russia.
I'm sure anti-Asian is also how China's neighbours view its actions in the South China Sea.
It’s not anti- Chinese but rather anti- Canadian senator who betrayed his country sentiment. Another Trudeau plant
If you don’t like the criticism call them racists. The reality you told Canada you better learn a lesson from Meng situation. I would suggest that China better learn a lesson. Hostage politics hopefully will have consequences in the future.
The Chinese propaganda machine hard at work lumping themselves in with all other Asians! It's not anti-Asian, it's anti-Chinese. Own it.
Mouthpieces for foreign propaganda … should have no place in Canada’s Parliament. Is there a petition started to have him resign?
Forewarned is for armed. It is standard operating procedure for the Chinese communists to try to deflect critics by raising racism and anti Asian bias. Criticism of an evil regime is not anti-Chinese anymore than the fight against neo-Nazism is not anti German.
There is a difference between despising CCP agents & discriminating Chinese Canadian.
How many have died as a result of China releasing a deadly virus? They dont get to be offended by racism! asians do not deserve it but they also dont get to be offended
Who appointed this CCP mouthpiece/race baiter to the Senate?
Not Anti-Asian but anti-China communist party is his real agenda!
Nice distraction 👍🏻
Great book on the subject I recently read.
