Peter MacKay: Rather than rely on China for critical goods, Canada’s strategic interests require us to shift towards partners that align with our rules-based system
Peter MacKay speaks to a crowd of supporters during an event to officially launch his campaign for leader of the Conservative Party of Canada in Stellarton, N.S. on Jan. 25, 2020.
This will require Canada to re-evaluate our foreign and trade relations based on security considerations, and to limit trade with unpredictable non-democratic states like China and Russia. The ruthlessness of Beijing’s authorities in Hong Kong was accompanied by news of an unspeakably cruel ethnic cleansing campaign in China’s Muslim-dominated western province of Xinjiang.
Such campaigns are a natural progression of China’s broader information warfare and influence operations, which have increasingly gone unchallenged in Canada.
