Is Canada 'Bowing' To China

People hold signs calling for China to release Canadian detainees Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig during a court appearance by Huawei’s financial chief, Meng Wanzhou, outside the B.C. Supreme Court building in Vancouver on May 8, 2019. Lindsey Wasson/Reuters

Derek H. Burney, National Post: It's hard for Canada to stand up to China while it's bowing

The litany of apologies and obsequiousness by Canada is one that only a lickspittle would salute.

Canada seems to be adopting a “see no evil; hear no evil; speak no evil” attitude on relations with China. The question is, to what end? Is it because of our overweening desire to win a two-year seat on the UN Security Council — a prize of dubious distinction given the unremarkable track record of the council in recent years that has featured more gridlock than action due to the chronic conflict between the veto-carrying Russia and China and most of the others. Should we win a seat, what would Canada do on a controversy which divides the two authoritarian powers from our allies — the U.S., the U.K. and France, among others? Abstain, a weaselly option used occasionally in the past by Canadian governments on biased resolutions directed at Israel?

We are presumably currying not only China’s vote but also China’s influence on several African states that have received generous dollops of economic assistance from Beijing. It is demeaning to wheedle this way for support in any circumstance.

The second motivation cited is that Canada does not want to jeopardize the fate of the two Michaels (Kovrig and Spavor) who were essentially kidnapped and have held in stark detention for more than 500 days in retaliation for Canada’s intention to extradite to the U.S. Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of the founder of Huawei, in accordance with the terms of our bilateral extradition treaty with the Americans.

WNU Editor: Truly unbelievable. The sad part of this Canadian effort to "accommodate" China is that I know they will not succeed. As I stated in this 2016 commentary, China does not respect Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and this is why .... China's Foreign Minister Demanded A Meeting With Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau (And He Got It!!!!) (June 3, 2016). You can take this to the bank, when China's leadership does not respect you, you will never get anything from them (unless you give them something big).

Update: This is another reason why the Canada government under Trudeau do not want to aggravate ties with China .... Former Canadian Ambassador Urges China To Ease Up On Trudeau As The Best Way Of Keeping The Liberals In Power (July 11, 2019).
