Leader of Conservative Party in Canada Criticises China Again and Promises to Prioritise National Interests If Conservative Party Rules Government

The Leader of the Conservative Party in Canada Erin O’Toole once again criticised China and the ruling Liberal Party. He pointed out that Canadian politicians and large companies have moved a large number of manufacturing job opportunities to China, betraying the local workers. The Chinese government, on the other hand, has repeatedly violated international standards, failed to open its domestic market to foreign enterprises justly, and has broken its promises on human rights protection at the same time.

O’Toole gave a video speech at the Canadian Club Toronto, saying that too much power was in the hands of big corporations. They disrupted the balance between businessmen and workers when they migrated their production lines to China. He said that the job opportunities, steady salary and pension that Canadian workers used to enjoy in the past, were now part of a “bygone era”.

He questioned at the session, “If businesses can just pay 50 cents (CAD) per hour to the Chinese workers, why would they be willing to pay CAD 30 to local workers?”

O’Toole pointed out that the political and financial elites did not suffer from much loss under economic crisis and continued to let China seize more job opportunities from its manufacturing industry. He raised the example of the Canadian government that allowing China becomes the main supplier of medical equipment and drugs in Canada, which contradicts national interests. He emphasised that a Conservative government would prioritise national interests and that it would not only pay attention to its national GDP but also strive to unite the country in all aspects.
