In response to questions by the National Post, China\u0027s embassy said the decision amounted to the \u0027politicization of normal economic cooperation\u0027 between China…

on Wednesday, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Ottawa said the decision amounted to the “politicization of normal economic cooperation” between China and Canada.

Tensions between China and Canada have been running high ever since the Canadian authorities arrested Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies Ltd., in December 2018. Federal officers arrested Meng at the request of U.S. prosecutors, who have accused her of violating Iran sanctions, as well as theft of trade secrets.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole has been vocal in his condemnation of the Chinese regime and has suggested imposing Magnitsky sanctions against Chinese officials as a retaliatory measure. Some observers, including former director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Richard Fadden, had urged Ottawa to review the TMAC transaction given Beijing’s growing interest in strategic minerals.

In an interview with the Financial Post this week, TMAC chief executive of TMAC Jason Neal said the rejection at least underscores the high status of the project.

I think my husband is wrong every time he doesn't allow me to bring another pet into the home so do you want to delve into that non story as well?

Close that embassy. They do not get to come here and criticize us for saying no to their global takeover attempt.

China is very pushy, dishonouring & disregarding protocols of other nations by preditorial diplomacy. In the past century, Western Elites routinely proxied others as bad counterparts for THEIR dirty work. I hold Canadian Biz & Govt traitors responsible. Who opened THIS door? 🤔

It's a low key move like a Canadian warship sailing through the Taiwan Strait, China doesn't lose much face. But Ottawa hit the CCP in the geopolitical moneybags by preventing a CCP SOE from taking over the TMAC mine. cdnpoli china WuhanCoronavirus ufwd

so?

China says Canada was wrong in China’s effort to control Canadian resources. I wouldn’t expect China to say anything different. It is time to slow the move from Chinese control of the world. This is similar to effort by European colonization.

I'm still completely amazed that Trudeau denied China anything!!

If the Chinese embassy says it's wrong, then that tells me we made the right choice.

The Canadian side should provide a fair, open and non-discriminatory market environment for enterprises from all countries, including China,” the statement said. Sure! As soon as China offers the same in China.

Of course the [Chinese] are going to say we're wrong they don't like rejection, but why after all the insults from Xi's CCP, including the incarceration of two innocent Canadians would CA ever allow Chinese investment? CA's National security is an issue when it comes to China.

China's embassy says... Lmao

No, it’s what Canadians want not what China wants.

If a self serving dictatorship like China say it was wrong it was definitely the right thing to do. A first for the SockPuppet government. Canada first, f ck the Chinese government. Nothing more than a bunch of criminals, corrupt to the core.

I'm glad that 🇨🇦 rejected this deal! Globalism & China can go stuff it! Its time that 🇨🇦 stands up for itself to be STRONG & FREE! erinotoole CandiceBergenMP brianlilley RebelNewsOnline TrueNorthCentre EpochTimes & I'm sure, I'm not the only Canadian feeling this way!

Happy to hear this, wasn't sure we'd have the jam.

A CCP owned corp doesn't like being told state ownership of another country's assets are off limits? Too fuc*in bad...

China is a 12th century culture. A communist country demanding human rights & the democratic process when in the outside world while they ignore both at home. A pathetic virus plagued country with an inferiority complex relying on other countries by spying & stealing technology.

Expel him. Expel everyone linked to the ChiComm's.

This would be a story if they said anything but that.

shareholders: CCP. Phuck off.

Phuck off commis

I really don’t think we are

Bullshit baffles brains.

Selling our worth to communist is wrong. Canada needs to employ Canadians in this much needed mine to sell our resources at value.

Screw the CCP.

Of course we must be wrong. Chinese government is so awesome......

Only thing Canada did wrong was even considering it in the 1st place. Pack er up & don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out

Is the any Canadian state-owned company own any natural resource in China? No. So why should we allow this?

I agree, the focus shifted & the “takeover” of our military began right after.

Stop pushing CHINA Propaganda!!!!! Canada should remain in control of ALL natural RESOURCES. This includes all energy!!! What's wrong with you ppl!! Would you sell your soul and everyones future to make a dollar now?

No. Canada was right. And Canadians really don’t give a crap what China’s Embassy thinks.

Sure, China embassy says we were wrong. Pffffffffffft Canadians mine better than them, they are filthy and leave waste everywhere. China is not green in any sense of the word.

The only person who cares what China thinks is Trudeau.

All Chinese takeovers in Canada must be bought back- from farms to mines.

Then we know we made the correct decision. fuckchina

This is not as wrong as arbitrarily detaining two Canadians without due process or access to their consular support. China is like a Wolf that eats everything and cries hunger with the foxes.

Trudeau is going to sell Nunavut to China to get some breath for temporary Canadian economy. Canada is become be base against Biden America. Biden after destroy America become prepared to war with China as the way to America survive. Lobby for use gun is grow around Biden.

Gunn53 Good riddance

China sent this virus world wide to cripple our economies then buy up all our resources. This is economic warfare. Canada was right to reject this

Well that's certainly a fair and unbiased opinion🙄🙄🙄

Oh well, China's Embassy. Oooo, scary stuff kids!

Free the two Canadians were are they ,show them to Canada.

And we should care why? Let’s stop the slow dance and get down to business. 🖕you China! From western Canada. The east can kiss your ass.

Would China allow a Canadian company to buy a rare earth site in China- the answer is NO!! Until China allows reciprocal transactions, they should stop complaining

Have they tried eating a dick?

Have they rejected Huawei yet? That should be next.

What else would they say, Canada and western countries must limit Chinese ownership especially in natural resources & prime real estate. They have so much power & money now temptation will be front & centre for many companies looking to cash in & it keep infiltrating our society

Fuk chinas embassy

Maybe Skippy and his mom can do some speaking engagements in China to make them feel better. I hear they come at a high price.....

It's long past time to start isolating China. They have become the 2020 version of 1936 Germany.

Piss off Chinese embassy

Boo hoo.

It seems that the Canadian government needs to realize that it essential in supporting industry and manufacturers, along with small businesses. In order for Canada to have true democracy!!! And sovereignty.

Of course NaPo would lobby on behalf of the corrupt Chinagovt! Instead of kowtowing to, stand up China.

Who cares what they think.

Breaking China must own part of the National Post

Liberals slowly selling Canada to the communist government of China

Pardon me but , Fuck China

This is extremely good news. The Trudeau government needs to heed the warnings of the civil service in these times and stop lauding the CCP.

Who cares what the Chinese government thinks?

In further news, an identified Chinese 'spokesperson' is rumoured to have suggested that Canada was also 'wrong' when it sent the two Michaels to spy on China. cdnpoli CHINA

I think Canada did the right thing looking at what else is happening.

It’s one of very few decisions made on Trudeau’s watch that I agree with. Now Trudeau needs the courage to say NO to Huawei

Gosh were wrong to not sell off your natural resources to glorious China

The mine is an under achiever. The Chinese want it for its strategic location. A foothold in North America to continue their spying & military goal to dominate the world. I would never trust the CCP. Keep your money China and get out of our country!

That’s news?! What else would they say?

Hey China - fcuk you

Canada was right for once

Hoping we become a country again.

Don't be fooled. ChiComs in Canada have citizenship and with Xi's $$ they can buy it for him. They are nasty lying sidewinders and we should never give citizenship to ChiComs.

Oh dear The Communist pieces of excrement are upset What will we do ?

Hey CCP 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕you

China simply wants more access to our north. Before you know it, they'll annex it. DO NOT TRUST THE CHINESE.

China is also lecturing other nations (namely the USA) about Human rights. Sooooooo... Yeah.

Ah well that’s sucks...

fukushimaexpos2 Canadian govt has sold us out long ago. Justin is no different. We should of never sold any Canadian companies to the Chinese or allowed them to have business here or train with the military here.

Is that a threat?

FK China

Veiled threats again?

Say the kidnappers....

Canada should reject all investments from a rogue communist country like China.

Canada should send China’s ambassador back home...they would send ours back if Canada interfered like that.

Harper sold us out years ago. O'Foole wagging his tail, hoping for scraps.

China was wrong to take our 2 Michaels hostage.

What about Huawei? Did Trudeau give them a pass on that yet?

Of course they do! Why are you even publishing that as the headline? They tell you to

What does the Chinese embassy say about China’s gift of Covid-19 to the world. Seems they’ve been fairly quiet and non-apologetic.

LOL. 'Chinese embassy says'. Just give us back our hostages, useless POS.

I disagree.

We are all scared of those guys

Why do we care what China’s embassy thinks?

The Wolf says we were wrong to not let it in our house. Surprised JustinTrudeau didn’t open the door himself.

China can fak right off...

I am so sick and tired of China! I never cared for those dweebs, not even 30 years ago! I can honestly say that I don’t give a flying fuck what the Chinese embassy says!

It is Canadian land. The right to it is not China’s just because we permitted you to conduct business there. That permission is Canada’s fault.

When China says something is wrong, it's right.

Well lop

The Conservatives and Erin O'Toole agree with the Chinese ambassador

Get China out of Canada 🇨🇦....FULL STOP. I don’t want anymore of their cheap crap anymore either. Buy Canadian!

No we're not. China does enough damage in this world. Release the Michael's.

Fuk China

For a merger 230 million dollars the thought that this federal government would even consider selling China a port(ion) in Canadian waters is unbelievable.see re: Tiawan re: Hong Kong re: Tibet re: Australia

We were 'wong'

How really cares what the Chinese embassy has to say. Taking two Canadians hostage and banning Canadian agricultural products may have been a Chinese mistake.

who cares? china shouldnt be allowed to come to canada and buy anything they want.

If China said it's the wrong move. That means it's 100% the right move!

The masters are not happy

According to National Post one day we are not hard enough on China and now this

China was wrong to arrest two Canadian citizens and hold them as political hostages over the arrest of Meng Wanzhou.

This paragraph says it all and speaks volumes about why TrudeauMustGo

Spelled 'Wong' incorrectly

They already own too much here anyway.

China’s embassy can kiss my foot

Shucks

This was a no-brainer and a decision that the government was well qualified to make.

Get the Turd to apologize. About the only thing he is good at. Since when does anybody care what China thinks anyway. The media are so disgusting.

Said the country who lied about Covid and killed a 100 million people. All in a days work for the CPC.

Trudeau was doing them a favour. Only Canadian companies are allowed to lose money up there!

Kick ChinaEmbOttawa out of Canada.

All the more reason it was the right call.

I am actually proud of Canadian government for their decision not to sell Arctic gold to China!

Top notch reporting! 🙄

Why the fuck would Canada sell rights to its resources to China?!?! Glad they didn't.

Time to close China’s embassy.

Nope Canada wasn't....we are stuck til 2031 with the Chinese being involved in everything here...it's stops now.

Gee what a surprise. We should let them buy everything as we know that's what Trudeau wants.

This commercial has been bought and paid for from China inc. If you have any questions please call the NP and dial 666 for our Chinese Media. Thank you

China paid for Canada fair and square. See PM Trudeau for a full refund.

China and its embassy can go f*ck themselves! That genocidal dictatorship is just evil.

China can go piss up a rope.

Don't they have two of our Canadians under arrest because we wouldn't allow Meng Wanzhou bend the law?

China is corrupt.

No china only arrest innocent civilians because they don't get their way they must be the right choice for the purchase

Reject everything Chinese . Are you kidding?

It was a good time when China was a third world country.

China can go suck a.....you know, Peking Duck.

Canada was right

Man was “wrong” to not let self be eaten, says cannibal

How maek you feel China?

China is always right........ right?
