Sounds so counter-intuitive to what we're being fed here!

Canada should negotiate an agreement like that. And a separate one with SE Asia. We can't depend on the US anymore.

I’ve stated it before - it is only a matter of time before China annexes Siberia. Large parts of Siberia used to be Chinese but was annexed by russia in the 19th century. Of the roughly 150 million russians there are,120 million live in the European part and only 30 million in Siberia. Meanwhile the Chinese province bordering it has more than 300 million inhabitants, and China in total 1.4 billion.

As Putin’s wars bleed russia dry and weaken it, the Chinese are just biding their time, waiting for the right moment and slowly preparing the takeover. Chinese mining and forestry companies already operate in Siberia, and there are mining towns where the Chinese outnumber russians ten to one. And now they are starting to redraw the maps, switching names on towns, mountains and rivers to the traditional Chinese names they had before russian annexation. A first step on the way to reclaim these territories.

And of course, the position held by the current US government, that the rules based world order is over, helps strengthen the hand of the Chinese. In the new system might makes right. The Chinese already outnumber the russians nine to one, and their economy and military grows stronger by the minute while russia is crumbling. Time is on their side.
