Justin Trudeau says he can’t give in to China’s hostage-taking. He’s right

As well, the real danger in giving in is not that it would expose Canadians to the risk of kidnapping by other countries; rather, it would expose the citizens of every other country to an increased risk of state kidnapping in China .

As bad as it is, China’s admission that it has put a gun to the heads of the two Michaels is also an opportunity for Ottawa. Mr. Trudeau should be frank about the fact that China has admitted it is engaged in an act that violates international laws, and use that to encourage our allies to ramp up pressure on Beijing.The stakes are high. Every middle power needs to wake up and realize that Canada may well be the proving ground for a nascent Chinese foreign policy that uses borderline terrorist techniques to extract what it wants from countries that can’t match its size.
