Canada must stick to universal values such as the rule of law in its diplomatic and economic dealings with communist China. Conveniently, this means adopting a more “American” approach to dealing with the Chinese regime.
It is unacceptable that China threatens Canada simply because it followed the law in its arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou. One might think China threatens because it doesn’t consider that the justice system and the political system should be two separate things. However, in a democratic, rule-of-law country, they are. In truth, the Chinese regime threatens because it thinks it can and believes that its threats will bear fruit.
