They already have hundreds of thousands of agents, soldiers, spies, saboteurs in the West.
They own Vancouver and Toronto.
Chinese police run secret operations in B.C. to hunt allegedly corrupt officials and laundered money
Vancouver city officials will not comment on co-operation with Chinese agents in 'Operation Fox Hunt,' or on suspects pointed to by Chinese news services
At least the USA has not handed over their country to China, completely, like Canada has.
Five people, including three Chinese nationals, were arrested in the United States on Wednesday for their alleged involvement in an illegal scheme to force a US resident to return to China to face prosecution.
Three other individuals also face charges in the case, but remain at large. US law enforcement officials believe they have returned to China.
Department of Justice officials said that they believe those arrested were part of China's "Operation Fox Hunt", ostensibly an anti-corruption effort to track down fugitives overseas. US officials believe that Beijing has used the programme to target dissidents and critics of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Interesting excerpt from the article that OP links to:
"On September 9, 2012, Canada signed a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China.
FIPAs are Canada’s name for bilateral investment treaties, which are used by corporations globally to challenge public policies or community decisions that interfere with their profits.
...
Because of extreme investment protections in NAFTA, Canada has paid out $160 million to U.S. corporations who challenged public decisions, including environmental policy.
Canadian mining companies are using FIPAs with developing countries to claim damages from community opposition to unwanted mega-projects.
If the FIPA with China is ratified, Chinese corporations will be able to challenge local, provincial and federal policies or laws that interfere with their “right” to make a profit from, for example, proposed tarsands or fracking projects, pipelines, or mines.
Canadian firms will have the same “right” in China, which will impact human rights and environmental protections there.
We believe the FIPA fundamentally undermines democracy.
It will give Chinese firms in Canada and Canadian firms in China 31 years of “protection” – from environmental, human rights or resource conservation measures they don’t like, while companies and private investors gain the right to sue Canada or China, in controversial and unaccountable private tribunals outside the court system."
Well this story in the PRESENT context sort of means something.
I'm simply amazed that you would live your life assuming information that comes from the past has NO relevance in regards to what is going on today. You're an idiot!
I think it is extremely relevant to events right now. What made you think I didn't? My amazement is at this loss of Canadian national sovereignty, nothing else.
Honestly, the comment I responded to is not the one showing now. It certainly came from your account though but now the comment is entirely different. Your original comment was a 2 secentence sarcastic notion that an article about a 2019 occurrence was crazy to be posting here.
No, I never meant to be sarcastic. At first I remarked that only one year ago, right before an election, in 2019, this odd arrangement was put through
I then read the article you posted, and thought I would paste some of it in a comment, because some readers might not click on it.
So I edited my post and added that excerpt.
I did wonder if it was 2012 or 2019, as I didn't see the year 2019 mentioned in the article, and I couldn't tell when the article was written. But I don't care, because it is ongoing.
I cant wait to defect when the war starts
Fuck trudeau
THIS is an issue. China is about to look a fool, openly, on the world's stage. At best, a fool.
China doesn't care.
They already have hundreds of thousands of agents, soldiers, spies, saboteurs in the West.
They own Vancouver and Toronto.
At least the USA has not handed over their country to China, completely, like Canada has.

(Huh?
What?
What unaccountable tribunals? That's crazy!"
