Politics: Canada's China Policy: Chinese Communist dictatorship has 1,000 spies in Canada

Because of the spy-scandal in Australia these days, where a number of Chinese spies have blown the lid off their masters' obloquy back in Beijing, while the Aussie government stands about muttering and puttering, but the ripples of the revelation go out across the globe - reaching Canadian shores with .... well ....

refWrite called your attention to John Kozumi's proposals for a new USA policy toward China, and now your attention is directed to the policy changes that are drastically needed in Canada. The Dominion's government has stressed establishing economic ties with China, and has been suckered ever since Prime Minister Paul Martin's journey to the Dictatorship. Since then, the Canadian businesses that have signed on to trade agreements, have seen all sorts of irregularities in the normal course of commerce, financing, and flow of goods. Some of these businesses now with a history of trade gone sour, are getting very wet feet. In many ways, Martin's move seems like something of a boondoggle, with China getting all the boon, and Canada the doggle.

In the meantime, the Australian effect has set in. It turns out that the Chinese spies who have come in out of the cold Down Under, and are begging for asylum while they spill their stories, are getting a cold-shoulder from the Aussies who also treasure the mirage of profitable trade. Both of the two countries have not only turned a deaf ear to the entreaties; but they have been unable to move beyond the dreams of avarice, to question their own motives and their own pusillanimity. In short, to this point, the Howard government in Australia and the Martin government have continued in displaying the cowardice motivated by avarice that China has been counting on.

It's time to chase down the Chinese spies in Canada, and put an end to their stealing technological, industrial, and military secrets.

It's time to eject the Chinese Communist corporations that have been buying companies in the strategic-materials and other sectors of Canadian industry.

It's time to advise Canadian businesses on the belly-ups endemic to foreign investors in China, and among China's banking institutions.

It's time to alert Canadian consumers to buying cheap from China, in view of its slave-labour operations and its lack of free labour unions.

It's time to recognize Taiwan as a free and independent country of Chinese culture and civilization.

I have the impression that the Conservative Party of Canada is presently advocating this last item. I'll have to check it out, and report back to readers here. - Owlb
