When today’s Xi regime looks at Canada it sees a remote and resource-rich region “under Heaven,” rather than a sovereign nation with some inalienable right to control its own territory and domestic affairs.

Beijing’s message to Canada is clear: America is the past and China is the future, so get on the right track. Canada had better realize the rewards are great for complying with China’s political agenda, including its claim over Taiwan and military expansion in the East and South China Seas. Resistance is futile, and even the slightest opposition will have disastrous consequences for Canada’s economy.
