I do love it when people reveal their true thoughts.  ????

"Yes, them Chinese, from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, we don't really care, we don't actually want them in our country".   ????

What about the Chinese "meddling" in many countries around the world....guess that's different, eh?

Unlike China.

China stoutly defended (September 2018) its right to publish in an American newspaper a supplement that President Trump attacked as interfering in the United States elections, saying the publication was lawful and commonplace. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/27/world/asia/china-trump-election-meddling.html

China wants freedom of speech in other nations affairs but not for the autonomous Hong Kong.

And you pretend this is a major issue when it comes to long-standing relations between democratic allies?

No. I was designated a Special Administrative Region, not an autonomous one. Same as Macao.

 

China's autonomous regions are Guangxi, Tibet, Outer Mongolia, Ningxia and Xinjiang.

 

It still has the political system it was left by the British in 1998 so what has changed?

 

By the way the HKFP is a very questionable source that surprisingly sprung up during the 2014 protests.

 

"By the way the HKFP is a very questionable source that surprisingly sprung up during the 2014 protests."

 

Or so you say. I think it's a mark up from your alleged "word on the street" beat. Or posting views aligned with Chinese government policies and propaganda while claiming to be unaware of such.

Which disgraced former leaders would that be?

 

It's not China's fault that Canadians are so scared of America they are quite prepared to do Pompeo's dirty work to their own detriment. They just chose the wrong bum to lick.

 

But no doubt did it very politely.

Canada is one of the more than 100 countries with which the United States hasextradition treaties, obligating it to co-operate with OIA requests. ... The long-standing U.S.-Canada treaty requires the offence for which extradition is sought to be a crime in both countries.

 

 

They were following a long held treaty, she has been accused of multi million dollar fraud which is a crime in both America and Canada, which obligates Canada to follow what they had agreed to in the past hence the arrest. Following the rules we had agreed to has cost our country plenty, I hope America executes the wench when they take custody. Your comment is pure <deleted> but you're entitled to your opinion.

That all depends on which political party you ask.

 

Places Americans say are allies

	AMONG...
	DEMOCRATS	REPUBLICANS	INDEPENDENTS
Australia	4th	1st	2nd
Canada	2nd	2nd	1st
Britain	1st	3rd	3rd
France	3rd	9th	5th
Ireland	9th	6th	4th
Italy	5th	4th	9th
Israel	28th	5th	17th
Norway	11th	13th	6th
Sweden	6th	10th	12th
Germany	8th	12th	7th
Switzerland	7th	7th	18th
New Zealand	10th	8th	8th
Netherlands	12th	14th	10th
Denmark	16th	11th	1

Differentiating between 1st or 2nd or 3rd is just splitting hairs.

 

The big outlier is the difference of opinion over France.
