The Canadians who think this or more is a good idea have lost their minds.

Forget that China, an authoritarian regime that is doing things like routinely stealing secrets from western countries [1] and is focused on destroying European economies ability to manufacture goods, it is a practically stupid thing to do because holding talks with China while the US, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and more as the article points out are actively training (obviously all mentioned parties and more conduct additional training annually) to potentially fight a war with China to defend another democracy looks incredibly bad.

Canada stands with China against the US, Australia, Korea, Japan, New Zealand [2], and the Philippines? Yikes!

Canada needs to stand against the country openly talking about annexarion.
