** 26-Jan-2019 Canada's Justin Trudeau fires ambassador to China
Justin Trudeau has fired John McCallum, Canada's ambassador to China,
after the latter criticized the extradition request by the US of the
arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. Last week, he told a meeting
of Chinese-language journalists that it would be "great for Canada" if
the US dropped its extradition request:
citizens, apparently in retaliation. This has made it almost
impossible for Canada to release Meng, since doing so would be
interpreted as giving up the rule of law for Chinese extortion.
A lot of observers have been surprised by how closely Canada has
cooperated with the United States in a number of issues, particularly
with China. Trudeau has justified the arrest of Meng by saying, "We
are a country of rule and law." But this reflects less a change of
policy in Canada, and more a change in the world's attitude towards
China. China used to be a favorite of much of the world, particularly
the left, but much of the world community have been shocked by a
series of barbaric acts by China -- locking up, beating and torturing
a million Muslim Uighurs, violent treatment of Christians and
Buddhists, illegal militarization of the South China Sea, illegal
trade practices, theft of intellectual property, and so forth. It's
also suspected, with good reason, that Huawei devices have "backdoors"
that permit the Chinese military to spy on them and control them.
At the same time, these same acts exhibit China's increasing hostility
to the West, and preparation for war. As I've been saying for years,
in this generational Crisis era, xenophobia and nationalism are
increasing in countries around the world, as the generations of
survivors of World War II have disappeared. This change is ongoing,
and is leading to World War III.
