Trudeau Hopes Biden to Keep Pressure on China for the Release of Two Canadians Citizen

Canadian Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau said on Monday that he hopes the future administration of the US President-elect Biden keep pressure on China to release the two Canadian citizens.

At the request of the United States in December 2018, Canada arrested Meng Wanzhou, the deputy chair of the board and chief financial officer of the telecom giant, Huawei, at the Vancouver Airport in transit. China subsequently detained a former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and a businessman Michael Spavor, who were indiced in June on suspicion of spying on state secrets and intelligence for a foreign country. Western countries widely criticize China of detaining the two men in retaliation for the arrest of Meng Wanzhou.

O’Toole Slams “Weak” Trudeau Again, Calls for Banning Huawei from 5G Projects in Canada in 30 Days

Erin O’Toole, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, called on the Liberal government on Sunday, 15 November to take a stronger stand on the use of Huawei’s technology and other China-related issues.

O’Toole revealed in an interview that the Conservative Party is ready to table a motion requiring the federal government to ban Huawei from participating in the construction of Canada’s 5G network within 30 days. He added that they will also call on the government to set out new strategies targeting such issues as China’s growing influence and its intimidation of Canadians.

Commenting that Trudeau had been too close to China in the past, O’Toole said the Liberal Party needs to be honest with Canadians and their allies. He continued that hundreds of Canadians are feeling the influence of the CCP at home and that the citizens need a responsible and principled leader.

When asked if Canada is ready for retaliation should it become harder on China, O’toole emphasized that Canada needs to cooperate with the rest of the Five Eyes to counter China in such areas as the economy.

“In the last 20 years, all parties, all democratic countries tried to engage, hoping that China, in the WTO and other things, would start moving towards respect for rule of law, for human rights. It’s gone the opposite,” said O’Toole. “So when things are not working after a generation, it’s time for some leadership to take a different approach.”

There are even #Canadian Liberals saying that we should "smell the roses" on China. What roses?! There is now legal opinion commissioned by the Global Legal Action Network saying that there's a very credible case of genocide on Uyghurs, US's current and former secretary of state had judged that #CCP's atrocities constitute genocide. Be honest, Trudeau..... you're supposed to stand for #humanrights.
