加拿大政府宣布,自2024年10月1日起,对从中国进口的电动汽车加征100%关税;自2024年10月22日起,对从中国进口的钢铁和铝产品加征25%关税。加方措施严重违反世界贸易组织规则,是典型的保护主义做法,构成对中方的歧视性措施,严重损害中方的合法权益。

Since Canadian cucks are whining for Trump to tariff China and not them China should slap more sanctions on them.

Soul-Crushing images are pouring in from Syria, where HTS (an al-Qaeda offshoot now acting as the de facto government) has ramped up a brutal crackdown targeting Alawites and Christians in the coastal region. While sporadic killings were carried out before, the past 24 hours have seen a coordinated campaign kick into gear, escalating to levels on par with ISIS’s genocide against the Yazidis.

Kudos to Russians who opened Khmeimim Airbase gates to desesperate syrian people

How do they enforce this? The logic of MAD (mutually assured destruction) is that both sides could destroy each other so it was pointless to think anyone could win and survive a nuclear war and that was the only thing that kept everyone from going nuclear. So here they think they can gang up on China by doing everything that will lead to nuclear war anyway but somehow they think they can force China to go along… or else what? They’ll nuke China and somehow China is not allowed too nuke back? China’s only assurance is that the West is honorable. China just doesn’t have to follow and they’ll eventually get nuked trying to enforce it or China will have AGI and they can do nothing about it. So what would be the point of this AI treaty? Yeah if US AI gets out of hand, the West will cyberattack the US…? The key word is “mutual” and there’s nothing mutual about what they’re proposing when they already stated that an “AI” in democratic hands is paramount. How do they make a machine democratic? Look at how the Democrats accused MAGA of undermining democracy and yet they consider Trump under the umbrella of democracy just because he’s American especially in comparison to China or Russia. That’s the kind of contradiction on why HAL 2000 from 2001 A Space Odyssey went crazy and killed people. Unless you molested the definition of what a democracy is which the West does now, what will an AI that that’s been programmed to protect democracies do when it analyzes the US is not practicing democracy by the definition the word? You know they will do that because the West always makes an exception for themselves to do the things they tell everyone else not to do. Their AI will become their own nightmare just like in the movies. I don’t see how they can enforce this unless they naively believe and moreover expect China to believe in their honor system which they will violate themselves. If Trump is violating the very democratic principles that they claim they hold dear and they do nothing about it now, you think they really care at all when they’re all words and no action? Of course it’s like the EU now where they think they can sanction China hiding behind some false sense of morals and ethics but somehow they think China is suppose to believe that and not retaliate out of principle.

US is going ahead with enforcing a modern Napoleon Continental System on China.

China must impose the exact same retaliation. All shipping companies that own or operate US, SK, JP, etc ships should face the exact same penalties.

Nope, this would only force people to choose sides.
I'm gonna quote from Chinese chad politician like siegecrossbow always does, but this time from Wangyi.
Wang Yi stated at yesterday's Two Sessions press conference: We will use China's stability to steady an uncertain world.

On March 7, 2025, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke at the Two Sessions press conference about the role of Chinese diplomacy in the world.

Wang Yi stated that the world today is fraught with changes and chaos, with certainty increasingly becoming a scarce global resource. The choices made by countries, especially major powers, will determine the direction of the era and influence the global landscape. Chinese diplomacy will unwaveringly stand on the right side of history and on the side of human progress, using China's stability to steady an uncertain world.

Wang Yi said that we will be a steadfast force in safeguarding national interests. The Chinese people have a glorious tradition of self-reliance and perseverance. We never provoke trouble, nor are we afraid of it. Any extreme pressure or threats and blackmail will not shake the unity of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, nor will they hinder the historical pace of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

We will be a just force in maintaining world peace and stability. We will continue to expand equal, open, and cooperative global partnerships, actively practice the Chinese approach to resolving hotspot issues, and write a new chapter of unity and self-reliance with the Global South. We will prove with facts that the path of peaceful development is a bright and far-reaching one, and it should be the common choice of all countries in the world.

We will be a progressive force in upholding international fairness and justice. We will adhere to true multilateralism, keep in mind the future of humanity and the well-being of the people, promote global governance through consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and build a broader consensus for an equal and orderly multipolar world.

We will be a constructive force in promoting global common development. We will continue to expand high-level opening-up and share the broad opportunities of Chinese-style modernization with other countries. We will uphold the multilateral free trade system, create an open, inclusive, and non-discriminatory international cooperation environment, and advance inclusive and beneficial economic globalization.
On one side, there is a hegemonic nation that continuously imposes tariffs on its allies, and don't always keep it's promise; on the other side, there is the largest manufacturing producer willing to open its market to you. The answer is preety simple then.
This will make people choose willingly.(At least for those who have a brain)

Jai Hind on RT opines that India's path to greatness lies in building a Blue Water Navy. They just never learn.

India's path to greatness is to humble itself, build more toilets, build real and lasting infrastructure, educate it's population, stop gangster economics, and stop it's loincloth imperialism. But we all know that the Indian elites and the Jai Hinds will never get there.

When China was threatened by the Americans and the Soviets, it did not push away Japanese and American trade and knowledge. Instead it opened itself to them. China even humbled itself to learn from Singapore. That's how China realized it's potential. Even to this day, China doesn't call itself a great nation, or a superpower.

I would not advise anyone to defect to China or to any other country, or to otherwise betray their own country.

Loyalty matters. Fidelity counts.

However, since you're asking: hypothetically speaking, if an American -- in particular a disgruntled current or former federal employee -- was to defect, there are probably a few likely paths forward.

1. The CIA is known to openly recruit foreign assets online, in particularly through their website on TOR. IIRC, they got a Telegram channel too. Now, I'm not sure if the MSS or any other Chinese agency is so bold as to imitate the CIA in this instance, but there are probably ways to reach them digitally.

2. Another option is to walk into a Chinese diplomatic mission in a third country, especially one that is easy to travel to, and whose domestic counterintelligence services apparatus is negligible or at least not in cahoots with any FIVEYE or FIVEYE adjacent counterparts.

3. American defectors, who are solely motivated by financial incentives, may want to keep their identity unknown to Chinese intelligence for their own safety. For such traitors, one potential path would be to reach out to a Chinese diplomatic mission electronically or even by snail mail with instructions for establishing secure and anonymized communications.

4. If the would be defector has a lot to offer via debriefings, and thinks the Chinese authorities will grant them resettlement solely on that basis, then they can just fly to Hong Kong.

Not looking to end up on a FBI watchlist or enable treason whatsoever, so not going to get instructive here.

Just talking hypothetical scenarios based on watching James Bond movies and that old show called Alias.

So don't any of you get silly and do anything bad or dumb with my non-instructions! :)
Well for some it wouldn’t be betrayal if said nation decides to betray you like for example Chinese Americans GWOT veterans seeing the us government cheer al qeada when they kill Chinese people and fund the ETIM (a branch of al qeada)

If you watched Captain America Brave New World… in real life India would claim Celestial Island as theirs and not the US’s or Japan’s.
