The Trudeau government has never stood up to Beijing. And despite its mewling and whimpering, it is not standing up to Beijing now

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is at long last talking tough with China, we’re told. Not only that, but there’s a senior Canadian parliamentarian in China, right now, talking tough about the arbitrary imprisonment of diplomat-on-leave Michael Kovrig and entrepreneur Michael Spavor and about Beijing’s sudden embargo on billions of dollars’ worth of Canadian canola exports.

Or perhaps it’s not entirely useless. The CACN is regarded as quite useful by the United Front Work Department , the Chinese Communist Party’s multibillion-dollar overseas influence-peddling and diaspora-bullying enterprise.

Huawei is the “national champion” corporation and cutting-edge high-tech population control and surveillance behemoth that Xi Jinping has assigned to lead Beijing’s technological war with the world’s liberal democracies. And Team Trudeau is still pretending that Huawei is a serious contender for Canada’s rollout of fifth-generation internet connectivity.

But back down from what, exactly? Back down from petitioning Americans and Europeans to put in a good word for Kovrig and Spavor if they happen to find themselves in conversation with one of the bloated thugs from the Chinese Communist Party’s politburo? In a similar vein, Trudeau vowed that Canada is “going to continue to hold strong … to stand up for our values and our principles.
