Mr. Scheer has yet to accept an invitation, first extended in June, 2017, to meet with China’s ambassador to Canada
That hasn’t stopped China from reaching out to other Conservative MPs such as Mr. Saroya.

Mr. Saroya’s trip included stops in Beijing, where he met top Chinese communist officials including Guo Yezhou, the vice-minister of foreign affairs for the International Department of the Communist Party’s Central Committee.

Even Canada's own intelligence agencies warned the Harper government of the risks of throwing open the door to Chinese telecom companies.
.

Despite all the warnings, the federal and Ontario governments have rolled out the red carpet to Huawei, officially praising the Chinese company's partnerships in Canadian telecom projects with Telus, Bell, SaskTel and WIND Mobile

Telus signed a $250-million contract to provide the Canadian military with secure voice and data services worldwide.

Ontario has been equally enthusiastic toward Huawei, giving the telecom giant $6.5 million of taxpayers' money to locate its Canadian office"

Next up- TRUDEAU- reverses decision of Harper government and APPROVES the sale of a Montreal firm producing technology with WEAPONS CAPACITY.
thetyee.ca/News/2017/03/3…

The Harper government feared the purchase would harm Canada and its allies by letting the Chinese government and military gain access to the Canadian company’s laser technology, according to The Globe and Mail. O-Net is 25 per cent owned by the Chinese government.

NDP innovation critic Brian Masse said the timing of the Liberals’ reversal on the sale “isn’t very helpful”

“It’s absolute arrogance on their part or it’s a willful snub to the United States,” he said. “That will be acknowledged. The United States is not unknowing of a large corporate sale in the defence industry in North America that has technology that is rather unique.”

"If the technology is transferred, China would be able to domestically produce advanced military laser technology to Western standards sooner than would otherwise be the case, which diminishes Canadian and allied military advantages," DOD and CSIS

Trudeau did not stop even after the US warning about selling a Laser Tech Firm t the Chinese.
He ignored calls for a NS review fo the Satellite Tech Firm NORSAT sale to China.

Norsat’s list of defense clients includes the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, Republic of Ireland Department of Defense, Taiwan Army and Scandinavian defense forces.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission told The Globe and Mail that the Liberals appear to be willing to sacrifice national-security interests of its most important ally in exchange for obtaining a bilateral free-trade deal with China.

June 2017
"Canada's approval of the sale of Norsat to a Chinese entity raises significant national-security concerns for the United States as the company is a supplier to our military," Commissioner Michael Wessel said.

Perhaps you now have a better idea of why this happened.

It took huge public pushback to force Trudeau to do a security review and stop the sale of Canada's Largest INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION Company.
cbc.ca/news/politics/…

This requires a separate dig all of its own. Trudeau approved the sale of Canada's largest nursing home chain. Only Canadians understand how terrifying this is knowing care is shit already. Will they threaten Chinese Canadian's with harm to a grandma? vancouversun.com/business/local…

Is it the propoganda that you are fed or do Canadians actually think you can walk around doing whatever the fuck you want because Canadians are nice? Do you see how Trudeau fucked with Canada's ally the US? The one you are mad at for not taking the punches for you on SA?

Same Group
The New York Times dug into who is behind the company’s chairman, Wu Xiaohui. Investigations into remote villages across China and sometimes empty city offices unearthed a fuzzy picture vancouversun.com/business/comme…

To be clear,
The US and China are at War- a very real war that so far is an economic one but who knows where this will lead.
Trudeau showed the US where his loyalties were by selling Laser weapon tech and a satellite firm with DOD contracts to the Chinese.
