@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt Listening to @joannachiu speaking with @piya on the growing authoritarianism of China. China continues to deny that the release of the #TwoMichaels is connected to the release of Ms Meng. It’s quite clear that China is obfuscating facts. There are other Canadians in Chinese jails

@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt Chinese reach into Canada is troubling and in her book “China Rebound” @joannachiu speaks of this.

@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt Joanna also refers to the increasing authoritarianism in India and Canadians who have spoken out on the ongoing #FarmersProtest in India, have been contacted & “warned”.

Having worked with and transacted business with mainland China I add, one must be prepared for turnarounds.

@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt It is fallacious to think that China can be influenced by the Western style democracy and basic freedoms, quite the opposite, as China becomes more authoritarian, the window of liberalism is shutting. China has effectively controlled the west by taking over manufacturing!

@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt China is influencing small town politicians in Canada and around the world, who are led to believe that the Chinese government is “liberal”! If soft tactics don’t work, the Chinese secret police take over and target family in China.

@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt A Chinese student in Canada who was “experimenting” with Twitter, had the Chinese police call on his parents in China!
