回复:中国确实从与美国和加拿大的贸易中获利。
北山, I always disagree with you but your analysis above is excellent.
My additional 2 cents is in international trade, we can't tell which part is China's or Canada's. Quite a number of Canadian companies invest in China and ship the products back to Canada. Is that China's or Canada's?
If Canada clashes with US and decides to terminate all trades, what happen to our automobile industry? Ontario produces more GM, Ford and Chrysler cars than Michigan. Are these cars American cars or Canadian cars.
Harper is such an idiot to threaten China with international trade. A high school student won't make such a mistake.
In regard to refugee claim, my expertise is refugee claim for unaccompanied minors, so may not be very relevant. In accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, any asylum seeker may approach a CBSA officer to claim refugee status, and the officer has to take all information according to the face value. If the claimant says he is from China and is 14, the officer has to trust him. No proof of ID is required at this stage and an acknowledgement will be issued so that he can find a job, apply for welfare and get a social insurance number (digit 9).
The case will be referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board, after the submission of the PIF (Personal Information Form), a self-reported form with all self-reported non-verified information.
The claimant, however, before status granted usually a few years later, must provide some sorts of identification to prove who he is. In some countries like Congo, ID is impossible, so the claimant can do a statutory declaration that it is impossible for him to obtain an ID.
For Chinese refugee claimant, the Chinese government won't cooperate to issue any identity verification. There are 3 options: a statutory declaration, having relatives to send him existing documents from China or buying fake documents.
I know in Fujian, fake documents verified by the local corrupt city government costs USD6,000 to USD$10,000. Lots of illegal refugee claimants from China rely on the "service". This is all underground. Nobody can prove it, but it does exist.
如果加国政府在对待 Mr. Arrar 的事件中有对玉山江那样的努力,纳税人也就不会掏出1000多万加元做赔偿了。 😁

Steven Harper
A few words of disappointment about our no brainer prime minster Steven Harper.
He threatens China with our trade with them. No high school graduates will make such a mistake.
Ever since I moved to Canada, we have had international conflicts with Denmark (over the waterways in the Arctic), Spain (over cod fish), with Mexico (over Canadians' safety and free trade) and with USA (too many to list). If we threaten to cut off the trade relationship with these countries, image what will happen to Canada. International conflicts happen everyday but no mature leaders of any country will threaten it will international trade. It doesn't happen between China and Japan, for example.
Also, such a strategy is premature, rough, unskillful and intrusive. If China ignores such a threat, what is the next card Harper is going to use? Terminate the relationship with China? The international trade is the last few cards, not the first one.
If I give the Harper government my vote next time, I am the no brainer.
According to the news, Steven Harper was to reply a warning from a Chinese official, He Yafei, by saying "I would point out today to any Chinese official, just as a matter of fact, that China has a huge trade surplus with this country. So I think it would be in the interests of the Chinese government to ensure that any dealings with Canada on trade are absolutely fair and above board."
He Yafei, assistant minister of China's foreign affairs for North America, said that trade and investment between China and Canada was not as strong as it should be because of a lack of mutual policatical trust... and China's economic relationship with Canada "goes hand in hand" with the political relationship. He said this a day earlier in Ottawa.
It seems that Steven Harper didn't want to tie economic relations with political issues.

中国确实从与美国和加拿大的贸易中获利。
问题是,在中国获利的同时,对美国和加拿大有没有好处?答案应该是肯定的。continuing the trade is not hurting but benefitting canada, too.
还有,中国在变得强大,其中有一部分就是从加拿大获得的利益。没错。
可是,你能阻挡中国走向强大的步伐吗?靠终止中加贸易?显然不能。不仅不能,反而会损害加拿大的利益。
中国过去是不讲人权的国家。连“人权”这个词都是翻译成汉语的。
但是,中国的人权状况一直在取得进步,也是事实。
美国立国后很长时间内存在奴隶制、种族歧视、性别歧视,加拿大有过种族歧视,各国的人权状况都是在逐渐进步的。应该认识到中国也在逐渐进步。
至于难民和公民申请中的欺骗问题,SEDONA能不能给我们多介绍一点?

I agree with the first part of your statement, i have to say you might be smart, but the guy on the other side of the table is not stupid, as you might know, china is enjoying large number of trade surplus with US and canada, and using trade to gain political advantage, to deflect its notorious human records, continuing the trade is hurting canada and benefitting china, that's why we see china is getting stronger
and by the way, I haven't heard canada govern saying it's cheated by the refugee. but i know for sure that large number of people from a country in East Asian obtained legal residential status in US and canada using fake document, shall we cancel the legal status of these people as a whole?

此人在申请难民和公民的过程中蓄意欺骗加拿大政府,
这跟中国有多长的list of bad human records有什么关系?
至于经贸往来,是双方互利,绝不仅仅是一个国家获利。
cut trade ties是一柄双刃剑,伤害对方,也伤害自己,头脑清醒的国家领导者不会做这样的事情。

中国可以说是有礼有节了。
加拿大媒体不分青红皂白,一通炒作,害得普通人都以为中国不尊重法律。
我们51的网友也跟着嚷嚷,还说要抵制中国产品?
笑话。。。
You are right. I am glad the Chinese officials finally have learned some diplomacy skills. In the past week, the Chinese officials are more skillful than the Canadians.

回复:加拿大应该做的是:立即取消此人的加拿大国籍。
no way, as long as he is holding canadian passport, whether his citizenship is valid or not is not in the jurisdiction of chinese. china has a long list of bad human records and always use trade as a political card. as china is having huge trade surplus with canada, if we cut those trade ties, some dollar stores which flooded with cheap, low quality chinese goods might be forced to close, but I see canada's trade dificit with china might actually decrease, if US is doing the same thing, the rising of china will remain just a dream forever.
Sounds like you are smarter than the majority of north American political leaders. Have you ever think why don't they do things same as you said? Are their choices smart or stupid ?
And yours?
