China Getting Ready to Buy Canada

[White_Unifier]

I could even see the following possibility:

Sole proprietorships, worker cooperatives and consumer-cooperative natural monopolies in Canada are exempted from all trade barriers as long as they don't engage in morally questionable industries (e.g. weapons other than sports equipment, tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, gambling products, etc.). Other than that, open the world to them unilaterally.

As for any other business in Canada, then it's case by case. But I do worry about Chinese state-owned businesses.

D Ealing with communists is never good. Unless they bring cash.

Most Chinese aren't communists. No worries there. If anything, they're more market oriented than we are. I just don't get how they tolerate their government.

China is winning the economic war, the same way Islam is wining the cultural one.

Being at peace onkl means a different kind of war.

99% of the human population can't understand that.

On the repatriation of criminals, why not just agree on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as a standard?

 

[Angstrom]

The same way that equality will creates its owb kind of inequality's

It would be disastrous for Canada. China is awash with American and Western Currency thanks to the catastrophic Free Trade (WTO) structure, currency manipulation and immense balance of trade deficit and will come in and take over Canada. And our pathetic little fudgsicle of a PM, is far too stupid and weak to see the danger.

Wow, that story was too long so...here's the short one.

Hi Canada! Are you prepared to sell, 'cause we're prepared to buy!

Mattresses, carpets, religions icons, guns, replica stuff. We've got it all!

Bring your money because we're looking to sell!

[selfsame]

Wicked Zionists, you are the first among people to sell Canada and any other country according to your personal advantages.

 

[Murphy]

Yep. To buy bombs to drop on you. Hey, it's a living.

 

[selfsame]

Your evil will be on your head, dirty-faced Zionist.

 

[Murphy]

Yep. And as you can probably tell, I'm in distress. If you listen carefully, you can hear the jet engines running now. B-52s and Stealth bombers doing their run ups, just before take off.

Downtown Baghdad will blow up real good!

That always depresses me when I see a 'of voting age person' claim a story is 'too long'. Of course for those who managed to maintain their attention for the seven minutes it takes to read the article they would realize that China does not want to buy stuff. They want to buy the Companies that make the stuff at the very least............


China Wants Total Access To Canada, May Seek To Import Its Own Workers

China’s government is seeking full access to Canada’s economy in free trade talks, a move that could result in Chinese state-owned companies bringing their own employees to work on projects in Canada.

China’s ambassador to Canada, Lu Shaye, told the Globe and Mail his government wants to avoid discussions of human rights issues, fearing it could become a “bargaining chip” in negotiations.

Additionally, China would see any attempt to block takeovers of Canadian companies on national security grounds as protectionism, Lu said.​

​

“Investment is investment. We should not take too much political considerations into the investment,” he said. “Just like the negotiations of the (Canada-U.S.) FTA, we should not let political factors into this process. Otherwise, it would be very difficult.”

Canadian and Chinese officials held exploratory talks on a free trade deal earlier this year. Lu told the Globe another meeting will take place in April.

​

Canada's ambassador to China, John McCallum, told the CBC that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "is very clear that we want to pursue stronger ties with China. We think that in the medium term this will lead to more Canadian jobs."

Many trade experts point out that the vast majority of China’s largest corporations are state-run enterprises whose executives are often hand-picked by government.

They also note that China’s notion of “full access” to an economy could be very broad. As the foreign policy blog OpenCanada notes, China’s 2015 free trade deal with Australia includes a provision that allows Chinese companies to bring their own employees into the country to work on projects, so long as those projects are worth more than AUD$150 million.

Charles Burton, an associate political science professor at Brock University, says bringing their own workers abroad is “normal practice” for Chinese companies.

“It’s not as if [the Chinese] would be asking something of Canada that they don’t expect from other countries,” he said.

​

Though China has been among the most vocal countries in resisting the protectionism of the Trump administration, critics say the country is itself a bastion of protectionism. They note China allows almost no foreign investment in banking and telecommunications.

Many argue the country has not lived up to the commitments it made to open up its economy when it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.

China’s interest in Canada lies primarily in energy, and in the possibility of exploiting Canada’s oilsands, experts say. The country will push for a reversal of Harper government-era policies that restricted the ability of Chinese state-owned businesses to invest in Canadian energy.
