Official projections yesterday had between 100,000 and 240,000 US deaths to the virus. Until this map is a uniform shade of dark yellow, the lockdown period really has not begun. |

I guess we will see more Chinese flags rolling down the streets of Canada. |

Our farmers were hurt initially by the trade war too, now they are going to make out like a bandit. The papers in Asia were roasting the Xi JP the deal he signed. Australia and Canada don't have the balls to stand up and challenge them. Even at this point, the universities in Australia are bending over backward for them. It's quite sad given how nice Australia is.

Meanwhile, several Canadians are on death row in China (in retaliation), and our exports to them have all but dried up. Our dollar is in the crapper in part due to this. It would have been hugely in Canada's economic interest to simply let her go and get trade moving again, but no, we held her because our "friend" to the south asked us to. We stuck by the fact that we are a nation of laws and this was a legal, not political issue. Then Orange 47 started spouting off about the possibility of using her as a political pawn in his self-inflicted trade war, making us look like the US's henchman. Yet we still held her, mainly because completing the extradition would be a problem for the US economically. You are welcome! EDIT: And by the way, our leader doesn't as much "bow" to everyone, as he apologizes to everyone. No idea WTF is with that. I dunno, I didn't vote for him. But back on topic, I have to admit that he's been very good in the last weeks of this crisis. It has to be testing for anyone at the top. Last edited by ZCanadian; 04-01-2020 at 04:23 PM. |

The reason China isnt going all out invading countries is not because they dont have the strength, but for geo political consequences. Same reason why we dont just take the Spratly Islands from them

China finds it more prudent to "loan to own" where possible, than to invade. Example, many African nations with resources. The red dragon is more than happy to build roads and ports, paying off politicians and keeping governments from being thrown out. Then, the other shoe drops and they import Chinese labour instead of employing locals. By the time officials in those countries have had enough, Xi hands them a bill and says to "pay up or shut up".
Trinidad & Tobago recently ran into this. Argentina is next. They are wealthy, smart, and very good at playing the long game. That's what makes them so dangerous. Last edited by ZCanadian; 04-01-2020 at 04:18 PM. |

The CCP is a classic bully, they will attack people who are weaker than they are. As soon as they see someone more powerful, they back off. As I said, don't let what you see on the surface fool you. They have a lot of things going on underneath and you have to understand their culture to see how they behave. China's investment into WHO is working out great, look at Tedros and the Canadian cuckold making all the excuses for them. You are right that they are using the debt strategy to trap Africa and they are definitely succeeding. This is why I compare their money to Opium. You take it at your own risk. Luckily I think some of the "investments" are blowing up in their face, aka Venezuela. If you are going to talk about debt, you can't forget about their own debt....

I'd just wish that the extradition would get over with. And pointing out that we have taken a stand to side with law and order and our friends to the south (despite assertions from time to time that we don't). To me, the actions taken by the Xi regime in support of the company prove the very connection that the company's founder so vehemently denies. I only hope that our nation has the sense to block them out of the 5G build here, although several of our carriers here have signed expressions of interest to proceed with Huawei. We have a more unique situation than you down there - a larger land mass to cover (and 5G infrastructure is expensive from what I understand - much more cells than 4G / LTE), but 1/10 the population to pay for it. I think that China sees this as their way to buy off our nation in a manner not that dissimilar to their approach in sub-Saharan Africa. |
