China is influencing and undermining Canada and its democratic system. Canada China relations are tense, following the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, and China's hostage diplomacy that targeted two Canadian citizens, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, who have been in Chinese detention for almost two years. China has also sentenced several Canadian citizens to death inside China. But China still is trying to get Canadian officials on its side, called Elite Capture. Joining me today is Garnett Genuis, a Canadian federal parliament member and shadow minister for multiculturalism and Canada-China relations.

@jaenelle China and North Korea are brothers. I don't know if its a trend that China kidnaps other citizens, or its North Korea that does it the most. But I see China as the big brother to North Korea that North Korea always follows.

Meng Wanzhou is being held for selling telecommunications equipment to Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions.

Michael Kovrig, a former diplomat, and Michael Spavor are both accused for spying in China

The Chinese Government want two change 2 high profile Canadian citizens for Meng Wanzhou.

@jaenelle If the two Canadians were truly spies. Than this was spy vs spy type of deal. China thought that kidnapping the two was a fair game, for the trade of their own. There is no rules and limit to this.

The two Canadians held by the Chinese government are ex-diplomats compared to Meng Wanzhou who was held for violating U.S sanctions against Iran. 

Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb to wipe out Israel. 

From the Canadian perspective, The Chinese spy accusations of the Canadian ex-diplomats are groundless and nothing more than a tit-for-tat.

@jaenelle Okay. Well this would be basically be who is against who. Since China would make a deal with Iran, they must be in good relations. Just as how Canada would back US foreign policy against Iran and the Chinese spy. There is so much hate to Israel but there is the other half of the world that supports Israel. I guess the dispute with the Israeli nation is huge to the point that many nations are at difference with each others political views.

The Chinese think that Canadians are the lapdogs of the United States but Canadians have an obligation to stop tyrants. Canada never had intentions to join the US-China trade war until just recently because of the diplomatic separation.
