Joe Biden's done it again. He has engineered another strategic defeat for the United States to the resounding benefit of the Chinese Communist Party. Coming on the heels of his disastrous and humiliating surrender of Afghanistan, of which Communist China was the most important beneficiary, the Biden Justice Department's collapse on the extradition of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou from Canada will further embolden our enemies and endanger our people. For starters, Team Biden threw away an unprecedented opportunity to expose the threat posed to our country and the world by the CCP's giant telecommunications Trojan Horse. It has also confirmed that hostage-taking by Beijing – in the Meng case, two Canadian citizens – will be rewarded, putting every American in China at risk. Presumably, Xi Jinping demanded this capitulation on his recent 90-minute call with Mr. Biden. The question occurs: What's next? This is Frank Gaffney.
Topping today's episode Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was welcomed back to China to hero-like fanfare this weekend after being released by Canadian officials.

September 4th, 2021 marks a grim anniversary for Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor; it is their 1000th day of arbitrary detention at the hands Chinese authorities, as part of the regime's retaliation for the lawful arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou. Canada's lack of action in response to Beijing's hostage-taking has signaled to the international community that this belligerent behaviour can occur with impunity. Furthermore, victims and their families are often left in limbo without a coordinated response from Ottawa. MLI Senior Fellow Sarah Teich joined communications officer Ai-Men Lau to discuss the increasing need for a substantive overhaul of Canada's national approach to global hostage-taking. Teich also discusses her joint publication by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and Canadian Coalition Against Terror which proposes new legislation titled, “An Act to Address the Taking of Innocent Civilians as Hostages.” She provides policy solutions and recommendations to Canadian decision makers to combat and deter hostage-taking.

Michael Spavor has been sentenced to 11 years in prison in China, on charges of espionage that Canadian officials have called baseless, and retaliation for the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou in 2018.

China is playing the long game to influence and infiltrate Canada and Canadian society. From hostage diplomacy—the kidnapping of two Canadian citiznes Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in retaliation for the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, to the China military training with the Canadian military, to more subtle economic subversion by the China economy. And the Trudeau family, including current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has a big role to play.

For almost two years since the December, 2018 detention of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, and the subsequent arrest of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, Canada-China relations have been at the lowest point since the 1989 Tiananmen violence, and perhaps since Canada recognized the People's Republic of China (PRC) 50 years ago. What are the prospects for a reduction in tensions in 2021? What are the chances that the “two Michaels” will be released soon? How will the election of President Biden affect US-China relations? Will the US election affect the tenor of the Ottawa-Beijing relationship? Canada-China trade has remained relatively stable through the diplomatic crisis, although Canadian exports of canola to China have been targeted by China.

And China is hinting at a prisoner exchange with Canada, suggesting they could free two Canadians for the release of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast - The Doug Ford government's sex-ed curriculum (officially, part of the Health & Physical Education Curriculum) was released yesterday. Some have seen it as a pleasant surprise, with a lot of similarities to the 2015 Liberal curriculum, and some more up-to-date material.

Premier John Horgan says the government is monitoring China's recent ban on meat exports from Canada. China claims the ban was put in place after officials found fraudulent veterinary health certificates on pork products. Horgan says the ban on beef is of particular importance to British Columbians, and the topic will more than likely be discussed at the Western Premier's meeting in Edmonton this week. Horgan adds he is convinced that the ban is related to Canada's arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou last December. Guest: Chris White President of the Canadian Meat Council

This episode investigates the evolving political and economic circumstances surrounding Chinese telecommunications company Huawei and its attempts to integrate its technology in global markets. Our guest, Dr. James Lewis, explores the growing concerns in the US and some of its democratic allies about Huawei, as well as the decisions by countries like the UK to adopt Huawei technology.

On 16 May, the Chinese government announced that they have formally arrested two Canadian nationals – Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor – who have been detained for over five months, on charges of violating state secrets. This marks the latest development in the highly politicised cases of Kovrig, Spavor and Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, which have led to an atmosphere of elevated tensions between China and Canada in recent months. As Beijing seeks to exert pressure on Ottawa, Canadian companies operating in China are facings risks ranging from arbitrary detentions of staff to enhanced inspections and customs delays. Key points include: The latest development in the cases of Meng, Kovrig and Spavor The impact of Beijing’s economic pressure campaign on Canadian companies The likely trajectory of this situation and flashpoints for related risks We hope you enjoy the podcast and welcome questions and feedback.

In this episode of Pod Bless Canada, MLI Munk Senior Fellow Shuvaloy Majumdar is joined by Jonathan Manthorpe, a legend in Canadian journalism and international affairs and recent author of the timely Claws of the Panda: Beijing's Campaign of Influence and Intimidation in Canada. The two discuss the central themes and fortuitous timing of Claws of the Panda, which first hit bookshelves shortly after Canada’s arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou cast Canada-China relations into chaos this past December. Mr. Manthorpe argues that this event reveals the true character of China’s Communist Party, the frailty of Canada-China relations, and why—now more than ever—Canada must stand up for our values, international institutions, and the security of us and our true allies abroad. Jonathan Manthorpe has toured the world as a foreign correspondent and international affairs columnist for the last 40 years, heading up bureaus in Europe, Africa, and Hong Kong for several leading newspapers. Based today in Vancouver, he now operates as freelance columnist, commentator, and consultant in addition to being a highly demanded speaker. Claws of the Panda is his fourth book.
Daily News Brief for Tuesday, March 5: *)Refugees stream out of last Daesh enclave in Syria Aid officials say a camp in northeastern Syria is on the brink of collapse because of the flood of refugees fleeing the last Daesh territory in the country. The Al Hol camp is now home to some 45,000 people. The Red Cross says several thousand more - mainly women and children - are arriving every day, with "no end in sight." The new arrivals are fleeing Baghouz in the east, where the remnants of Daesh in Syria are battling US-backed SDF militants. *)Guaido returns to Venezuela Self-proclaimed interim president of Venezuela, Juan Guaido, has returned home after a tour of several Latin American neighbours. He was trying to drum up support for what President Nicolas Maduro is calling an attempted coup orchestrated by the US. Four years of economic recession in Venezuela have plunged the country further into poverty, with some 2.7 million people fleeing the country. *)China-Canada spat continues China is accusing two detained Canadians of stealing state secrets. That, just days after Canada announced it will proceed with a US extradition request for Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou. The US is accusing tech giant Huawei of violating US trade bans and building spyware into its hardware. The company says the US is terrified of China's increasing tech reach. *)Second Canadian minister quits over scandal A second minister has resigned from Canada’s cabinet as a corruption scandal deepens. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and some members of his government are under fire for allegedly trying to shield a major Canadian company accused of corruption in its dealings with Libya. And finally, *)US to end trade preferences for Turkey The US has announced it will end a preferential tariff system for Turkey, which is meant to bolster the trading prospects of developing nations. Washington said the move was due to Turkey’s economy becoming sufficiently developed. President Trump told US lawmakers that Washington "remains committed to fair and reciprocal trade with Turkey." The program allowed some Turkish exports to enter the United States duty-free. Trump has made "America first" a key plank of his economic nationalism.
On Friday, the Canadian Department of Justice gave the go-ahead for an extradition case against Meng Wanzhou, marking the formal start of the high-profile process that has put Canada in an uncomfortable position between the United States and China. Now we have learned that the defence team for the Huawei executive has filed a notice of civil claim against members of the Canadian Border Services Agency, the RCMP and the federal government, alleging “serious violations” of her constitutional rights.

In this episode, MLI Munk Senior Fellow Shuvaloy Majumdar is joined once again by the venerable Ward Elcock, one of Canada most decorated public servants and a leading national security expert. The two discuss recent developments in Canada’s relationship to China, an issue now receiving unprecedented global attention in the wake of Canada's arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou. The conversation locates this event in the broader context of China’s role as a rising power and the increasingly salient question of just how Canada ought to engage a country that is a key trading partner but no ally. A distinguished public servant of over 40 years, Ward Elcock served as the Director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) for over a decade (1994-2004) as well as in many senior advisory capacities to the Privy Council Office on matters of intelligence and national security.

U.S. President Donald Trump's politicization of the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou makes things awkward for Canada, but there could also be blowback for the president at home, according to Michael Hirson of the Eurasia Group
"The tone here is that this is an an innocent woman. So why would you treat her like a criminal? And the idea is, if you have handcuffed someone you have presumed their guilt," says Nathan VanderKlippe, the Globe and Mail's Asia correspondent. Tensions between Canada and China are high after the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and the subsequent detention of former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig. Today on Front Burner, Nathan explains China's side of the diplomatic dispute and breaks down how this story is playing out in Beijing.

The Roy Green Show Podcast Illegal and criminally distributed fentanyl from China is killing Canadians who come in contact with it. This illicit fentanyl is what drives up the number of deaths among those who are addicted. Sam Cooper, an investigative reporter with Global News, traced the spread of this drug and found an underlying concerns surrounding spies, diplomatic relations with China, money laundering and even the rising real estate prices in Vancouver. @FarmerMegzz is the Twitter handle of a young Saskatchewan woman and farmer who is known for challenging politicians and misconceptions about farming online. We call her Megzz. Last week, in an exchange with Federal Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, Megzz found herself receiving inappropriate instructions on farming from McKenna. She does not see McKenna's assumptions as a political issue but believes they should be discussed. Meanwhile Jocelyn Bamford is the founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada. In response to Prime Minister Trudeau's comments on toxic masculinity in male workers, Jocelyn wrote for the Toronto Sun. Her article was ‘Women need to fight Trudeau's gender insults toward men' and she joins Roy to expand on it. Internationally recognized cyber security and digital forensics expert Daniel Tobok of Cytelligence Inc. weighs in on the issue of Huawei. The company is not just in the news because of the arrest of the company's CFO in Canada. Global News reports that former Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the U.S. has encouraged western allies "to essentially push Huwei out of the emerging 5G network.” He added “my personal view is that that is something western countries should be doing in terms of our long-term security issues." And then Roy speaks with Scott Newark, on the political and legal side of the Huawei issue. China's state media lashes out at Canada over arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and warns Canada of "serious consequences" with the Chinese government summoning Canadian Ambassador John McCallum. Roy talks to Canadians about the possibility of Alberta separating, following the major response to Roy's interview with Lawrence Solomon. He also replays his interview with Solomon, concerning his Financial Post column 'If Alberta turns separatist, the Rest of Canada is in big trouble.' Adam Schiff, Democrat member of Congress is quoted as saying "There's a very real prospect that on the Day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the very real prospect of jail time." AND Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said today that it would "certainly" be an impeachable offence if it's proven that President Trump directed illegal payments during his campaign." Nadler adds the latest indictments and filings brought by prosecutors against former associates of President Trump show that he was at the centre of 'massive fraud' against the public. Toronto Criminal Lawyer Ari Goldkind discusses this situation with Roy. Guests: Sam Cooper, Global News investigative reporter @farmerMegzz will share the details with us.
