Global Affairs objected to Canadian military decision to cancel training with People's Liberation Army
Classified Canadian government documents released to media outlets, including The Globe and Mail, reveal that the department of Global Affairs disagreed with the Canadian military to cancel the winter military exercises with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China in 2019.
In a memo to Ian Shugart, then deputy foreign minister, it was said that the "unilateral decisions" by the military to cancel previously agreed co-operation with the PLA "risk being interpreted by China or others in an unintended (and unhelpful) way" and "could also damage Canada's long-term defence and security relationship with China."
The diplomats feared that any reductions in military ties between the PLA and the Canadian army may be viewed as a "retaliatory move" concerning the cases of Meng Wanzhou and the two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, detained by China.
The revelations triggered a public outcry among Canadians. Critics said the disagreement indicates that Canada's China policy has been contradictory and incoherent. "It is more urgent than ever, in the context of an increasingly belligerent and assertive China, to present a united political front," said Charles Burton, a China expert. "This is really about the defence of our sovereignty and security on matters over which there is consensus across the political spectrum in Canada."

Because of the new privacy policy, there is a social media immigration trend. Now, there is another reason to leave #Facebook. According to this article, Facebook has been sharing data with other phone companies including #Huawei, a company owned by #PLA. Meaning, the Facebook app is a backdoor for #CCP to enter our phones.

彭博：美情報指中國火箭軍存貪腐問題 導彈注水代替燃料 料近年未必有重大軍事行動 https://channelchk.com/a/15692 據《彭博》引述消息報道指，美國情報機構判斷中國解放軍火箭軍，普遍存在貪腐問題，又列舉例子稱，解放軍導彈內所盛載的是水，而不是燃料。美國情報機構估計，貪腐問題侵蝕北京對解放軍整體實力的信心，故未來數年未必會考慮採取重大軍事行動。 #中國火箭軍 #中國 #貪腐問題 #貪腐 #導彈注水 #火箭 #彭博 #channelchk ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝…
