Thank you for this comment.

Taiwan says is an ‘independent’ nation, after Trump’s warning

Looking at their post history, OP is what is called a ‘ziganwu’, right?

I guess we should neither follow the propaganda trap.

No, you just copied & pasted.

Citizens have to follow the law of the country they are in, and no government must extend its laws beyond its borders through extraterritorialization.

From your comment one can easily infer that you didn’t even click the link.

I guess we can reasonably assume that by “Ottawa” - Canada’s political center with headquarters of the federal government - they mean the Canadian government. So, yes, the bill is aimed to confiscate Russian assets not just in Ottawa but everywhere in Canada.

In Ukraine, a minute of silence is observed every day at 09:00 local time to commemorate the victims of Russia’s invasion of the country. It was officially designated by a presidential decree in 2023.

This is a propaganda piece by authors known to align with the Chinese Communist Party’s official narratives. Do yourself a favour and stay away from such stuff.

In 2023, Canada passed a motion to resettle 10,000 Uyghurs and other Turkic muslims from China by the end of 2026. Since the Canada-China trade deal has been finalized, the Carney government has not yet said whether or not it feels committed to it, though.

As an addition:

Beijing was denying the existence of what is commonly referred to as ‘labour camps’ in East Turkestan, known in China as Xinjiang, for many years.

In September 2018, a report by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (opens pdf) estimated the numbers detained in Xinjiang – back then, between tens of thousands and a million.

One month later, the Chinese government acknowledged the existence of what it then called “vocational training centres” - and justified them as necessary to counter “terrorism” and “extremism”.

Meanwhile, there is ample evidence of forced labour schemes in East Turkestan / Xinjiang and across China.

In 2021, for example, researchers at RAND had used satellite observations to look at detention camps that Chinese officials insisted were empty.

In 2024, Human Rights Watch published a report, Asleep at the Wheel: Car Companies’ Complicity in Forced Labor in China, that shows how Chinese and foreign car companies exploit forced labour in Xinjiang. As one result, German carmaker Volkswagen divested from its Chinese joint venture to comply with EU rules.

You’ll find much more across the web.

Outrageously embarrassing! Industry Minister Melanie Joly refuses multiple times to answer the question if she personally believes there is forced labour in China today before the Industry Committee (INDU).

Tries to defer to Anita Anand “…that’s a question that you should ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs.”

“We are demonstrating not just the strength of our values in defending a rules-based international order, but also the value of our strength," he [Carney] added.

If Carney means what he says, he must urgently rethink his ties to China, Canada’s new ‘strategic partner’.

A wumao is spreading Chinese propaganda …

Even if your propaganda narratives were true, China has no right to suppress anything on Canadian soil, no matter what.

At the end of the day if it makes Carney look weak as he bows to the dictator, and it is bad for Taiwanese and far beyond their country’s borders, including for Canada and Canadians.

This is blatant political interference into Canadian politics, and the Canadian government remains silent by now.

Unless they don’t do some A/B testing, the original title is, “The f-words are everywhere in Santa Marta.”

And it’s not that the US, China, Russia, and 130 or so other countries weren’t invited to Colombia, but they refused to join. They are apparently not interested to phase out fossil fuels.

Please read the article before commenting. That has nothing to do with the US here.

This is about China, and it is - at least - as much a problem as the US as the article explains.

What do you say?

Yeah, don’t understand why so many freaks become hysterical just because two countries strengthen their ties. Let’s hope Taiwan and Canada will soon ink their planned trade framework.
