Canada is really trying to ramp up the China Threat hysteria. What's the Canadian strategy vis-à-vis China other than hitching it's entire defense posture to their big brother/master U.S. I don't see any meaningful debate and real questions ask to it's people in terms of the real sacrifice in terms of lives and treasures if the country want to commit an adversarial role against China.
Yeah, I noticed that, all of that, too.
I don't bother following the news, because it is too boring. Duller than economics, lol.
This is what I think is happening.
The spy agency is taking over this China file for the government.
There is a vacuum there, so the spy agency fills it.
All these reports, all from the spy agency, they all seem to be planted stories.
Not necessarily fake, but exaggerated for political effect. No one is going to object, because no one cares, and that lone voice does not want to appear to be a China friend.
Hence, the Canadian spy agency will get their way, there will be a more confrontational approach by the Canadian government, and the spy agency will see a budget increase for that. That's Canada. It is not about China, it is more about how much can they obtain from the public purse.
That, is what bothers me.
