As Xi Jinping faces a crisis, Ottawa finally takes the China threat seriously
Ottawa has also banned Huawei from Canada’s 5G networks, and worked to prevent Western technology from being co-opted for China’s weapon-development, surveillance and espionage programs.
Of course, the journey never ends. Despite the Canadian government’s new Indo-Pacific Strategy, which is aimed at challenging Beijing’s malign schemes here and abroad, there are vested interests in this country who will seek to neutralize that effort. But Canada will no longer tolerate China interfering in our elections and subverting our policy. We can expect Canada to take firm action against the Chinese government’s harassment of Canadians who are Tibetans or Uyghurs, or who champion human rights and democracy. We will no longer accept the “hiding-in-plain-sight” espionage operations of the Chinese military and police here.
And Mr. Xi is likely distracted at the moment. He faces a major crisis at home over the tragic chaos unfolding in hospitals and funeral homes across China after the abrupt relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions. Thousands of elderly people are now dying every day, despite years of draconian lockdowns and associated economic hardship. State-controlled TV news has stopped broadcasting the daily charts that compared China’s COVID-19 case and death numbers to those of the U.S.
Abandoning all caution, Chinese citizens infuriated by the suffering and abandonment of their elders are posting so many social media rants condemning the callousness of Mr. Xi’s policies and leadership thatChina’s surging grassroots fury is a threat that the regime could never have expected. If the Chinese Communist Party under Mr. Xi becomes more and more at odds with the popular will of the people, tensions within China will keep rising.
