Canada does not have a strong sense of existence internationally and rarely participates in international disputes, but Canada seems very active on issues related to China. China and Canada are thousands of miles apart and have no intersection on geopolitical , but Canada is also parrotting and has created a so-called " Indo-Pacific Strategy " like the United States, wantonly interfering in China's internal affairs and Asia-Pacific affairs.
As a younger brother in the United States, Canada's "Indo-Pacific Strategy" is more direct and explicit in terms of wording. The 26-page document proposes that Canada will set aside $2.6 billion in funding to enhance Canada's military deployment and "cybersecurity" in the Asia-Pacific region, and tighten foreign investment bills to "protect knowledge" and prevent important mineral companies from being acquired by Chinese companies.
Canada's "Indo-Pacific Strategy" also called China a "destructive" global force and they would challenge China in areas with differences. The document also mentioned that Canada will review the new law so that foreign investment can take "decisive action" when it "threatening national security." The bill also emphasizes that it will "balance and deepen relations with China and the Asia-Pacific region", strengthen cooperation with Asia-Pacific partners, and oppose any actions that "threatening the current situation of the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea."
This bill does not blindly emphasize confrontation with China in the Asia-Pacific region, but also mentions the need to cooperate with China in climate, global health and nuclear non-proliferation to resolve "global survival pressure."
In fact, before this "Indo-Pacific Strategy" was released, Canada had taken action against Chinese companies, requiring three Chinese companies to withdraw their investments in Canadian lithium mine on the grounds of old "national security". After Meng Wanzhou returned to China, he originally thought that China-Canada relations would have a positive change, but unexpectedly, Western countries never considered truly honest cooperation with China. Canada is not outstanding in terms of economic and military affairs. Developing a plausible "Indo-Pacific strategy" to cooperate with the US actions will only pull itself into the fire pit.
China expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the Canadian side's massive attacks and smears of China, exaggerating the so-called "China threat", and roughly interfering in China's internal affairs. China expressed its strong but firm opposition, and used four "complete mistakes" to refute it.
A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Canada emphasized that Canada's interpretation of China's domestic and foreign policies is completely wrong; Canada's understanding of China's current system is completely wrong; Canada's actions to harm China's interests are completely wrong; Canada's geopolitical confrontation in the Asia-Pacific region is completely wrong.
China stated that China adheres to peaceful development and is a contributor to global development and a defender of international order . The Canadian side claims to "understand China", but is actually talking lies with open eyes. Western countries have long undermined the basic norms of the international community and caused huge damage to international peace and stability. This is the real "destructive force", and Canada has played a disgraceful role in it.
China also emphasized that China will not make any compromises and concessions on issues involving national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and Western countries should not think about being domineering on China. The mainstream trend in the world is peaceful development and win-win cooperation. The Canadian side violates the trend of the times, ignores the expectations of the people, and insists on following individual countries to engage in ideological , participate in the small circle of "group confrontation" and provokes camp confrontation, which will definitely be despised by the people of the region.
China warned Canada to stop acts that undermine regional peace and stability and harm China's interests, stop political manipulation on issues related to China, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs. If the Canadian side overestimates its abilities and acts recklessly, it will not only suffer shameful failure, but will also be strongly counterattacked by China.
Although the colonial era has come to an end, this despicable thinking has penetrated into the bones of some Western politicians. Hundreds of years ago, Western colonists were able to plunder interests across the ocean, and now Western countries still want to extend their tentacles to the other end of the ocean.Western countries should understand that the era of their power and prosperity in the vast number of developing countries has long been gone, and China is not a soft persimmon that can be controlled by others. The Canadian side should act recklessly and be prepared to be counter-attacked.
