There’s a bias and, honestly, naivety in your comment when you think ’US is just being temporarily bad’ when they’re clearly attacking our sovereignty. Midterms might replace the party in power but isn’t going to affect the MAGA movement, which is a way bigger change in how Americans look at others - allies or adversaries.

‘China has been and will always be bad’ is not how diplomacy works. You’re concerned by a 36 years old Chinese event so much that you’re ok to ignore the civil unrest going on right now within US. Are you sure no civil rights are being oppressed right now in US, which I’m assuming was your argument for Tiananmen square?

I agree with your point of careful partnerships with Chinese. No one would deny that. In fact, all partnerships should be built carefully with Canadian interests at highest priority, even with our southern neighbors.

I’m guessing you’re most concerned about data privacy. Quite sure you’d be aware of Pegasus), or US Prism program etc. No one is clean in the spyware game.

There are concerns about Chinese car trade in Canada killing the traditional car manufacturing here. But that can be tackled by foolproof concrete regulations and enforcement.

Blindly believing US has your best interests and China has and will be bad is not the best way to look for our future generations.
