“If Canada removes the unilateral unjustified tariffs on Chinese products, China will also reciprocate accordingly,” said Wang Di. So the PRC basically admits its canola tariffs are “unilateral and unjustified”? This is why trade diversification is so important. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

Yesterday King Charles was inspecting a British ship. And YET he did so dressed as King of Canada wearing Canadian military decorations and Canadian honours, inc Order of Canada and Canadian Order of Military Merit. Charles is sending us and the world a message, a LOUD message.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/t... “OpenAI said on Friday that it had uncovered evidence that a Chinese security operation had built an artificial intelligence-powered surveillance tool to gather real-time reports about anti-Chinese posts on social media services in Western countries.”

Canada has agreed to list Mexican drug trafficking organizations as terrorists as part of our agreement to get the US to back off on the tariffs. newsletter.insightthreatintel.com/p/consequenc...

Look, I don't want to pretend that Americans actively care what Canadians think, but I'm genuinely taken aback to the extent to which very smart & calm people I know are saying the bilateral relationship is over. I don't think it's *over* but the idea of the US as a reliable ally is basically gone.

With all eyes on TikTok’s trials and tribulations in the US, the fact that its parent company, ByteDance, has a white-hot new app back in China is easy to overlook. China’s regulators haven’t.

🚨🗞Today's Insight Intelligence is out, and it's a look at Canada's "first foreign interference arrest". But is it really? We look at the facts of the case (so far), and more importantly, the global context. This is going to be a case to watch👀

Oh - and @akshaysingh.bsky.social for the nexus of China and national security issues.

🚨This is huge. Dark Foreigner, of Atomwaffen Division fame, has been arrested and charged with terrorism offences in Canada.

Yesterday, the NCSC posted a very helpful guide on types of security-related legislation foreign companies in the People's Republic of China have to navigate. These rules increasingly pose risks to company data + operations and broaden the Party-State's ability to access proprietary knowledge.
