Marco Rubio talking to the media is very enlightening. I mentioned on this Forum a few weeks ago the geopolitical war between the USA and China and Trump's concerns with China's stealthy yet aggressive expansionism through their "Belt and Road Plan". I was told by some on this forum I am "anti-Asian" and bonkers. There is not a doubt that the authoritarian Chinese government is aggressive and focused - they sense weakness and know how to exploit it to their advantage. Their Belt and Road Plan and use of the "Bamboo Network" has targeted many corrupt governments in mineral rich Africa, geo-politically strategic eastern Europe, and now Latin and South America and Canada. Weak governments, like Trudeau's government are easy targets. The Chinese influenced our last two federal elections, are sending illicit narcotics into weakly regulated ports like Vancouver and Montreal - are funding gangs connected to triads and are harassing Canadian Chinese citizens. Anyone who is blind to this is not paying attention. While Canada strangles its economy arguing for years and years over whether to twin an existing TMX pipeline or to cancel it because of "climate change" and indigenous rights - the Chinese are taking over governments, building massive energy infrastructrure projects domestically and globally through their Belt and Road Plan. Canada can barely twin an existing pipeline, cancels multiple GDP altering energy projects, turns away multi-billions dollar LNG opportunities because there is "no business case" for them, has a drug and crime epidemic and is becoming a very weak G7 country. China, Russia and Iran can't believe how easy it was to destabilize countries like Canada, led by dreamer woke half-wits with fancy socks like Justin Trudeau, who has been the worst PM this country has ever had. Biden was apparently incapacitated during most of his presidency (who was in charge?) and China had carte blanche during his inept administration. The American people (who many Canadians seem to look down on) are actually smart enough to see what was happening. Trump and his government must be very very very alarmed at how deeply China has infiltrated Canada and its government systems. The tariffs are a start in helping put a stop to Chinese expansionism in North America. However, some people on this forum probably want a China dominated world - a world dominated by an authoritarian state. Be careful what you wish for. I remember attending a conference in Beijing about 15 years ago where one of the guest speakers was an "environmentalist" who gave a presentation on how the "tar sands" from Alberta would "tip the scales" for the impending global warming disaster and that the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline had to be stopped to save humanity from the tar sands and to save "the Moon Bear" (which doesn't exist) that according to the presenter lives on BC's west coast. The audience of mostly western "educated" yet very gullible people just lapped it up. They believed the over emotional doomsday nonsense hook line and sinker without a thought of how canceling such a project would do to their modern energy driven lives and the prosperity of people in Canada. I saw the presenter / charlatan signing autographs after the show and he seemed to have, like David Suzuki, many young starry eyed admirers. Who funded this guy to go around to conferences with large western based middle class audiences to change public opinion to stop a crucial GDP advancing and country building piece of energy infrastructure like the Northern Gateway pipeline? The Americans have woken up ... hopefully Canadians will too.
