“In Canada we believe in open and frank discussion….” Unless the topic is Israel of course.

This is from a year ago, made me think it happened again. Xi should have taken him over his knee and given Trudeau the spanking his Dad couldn’t.

Xi like “can you believe this fuckin’ guy?”

When Trudeau speaks over the interpreter, it’s akin to speaking over Xi himself. Trudeau can’t even abide by basic etiquette and diplomacy.

China negotiates with all countries as equals: equals in dignity, equals in intellect. For the united states, this is upsetting, because they expect deference and recognition of their superiority, but you can see China hold this same mindset even when negotiating with countries much poorer and less powerful than them, like Uganda or Canada; The best American diplomats have been able to grasp this fact, and have productive negotiations.
