Reply to comment by [deleted] in China taking ‘aggressive’ steps to gut Canada’s democracy, warns Trudeau by hugglenugget

It's amazing that you think this is a reasonable response. The Chinese people are not the CCP. Those moving to Canada typically want to escape the bullshit. Pushing them away when they're in Canada is what gives the CCP the opening it needs to influence them.

I see by the upvotes the racism gets, and the downvotes to your very rational and reasoned response that xenophobic idiots are out in full force today.

These people don't see nuance. They see "our team" and "the enemy". Everybody is all catagorized into broad groups and painted with the same brush, becuase anything deeper than that requires critical thinking.

Getting Chinese people the fuck out of an authoritative regime and into our culture gives them less power. We just have to stay on top of our policing in case a few bad actors slip through. That would have been true anyway, no matter what the immigration policy.

But try explaining all that to a racist.

In theory anyways.

The amount of them that show up to shut down pro-HK Canadians, or Uyghurs is alarming. The amount of CPC activity by Canadian Chinese is alarming. Part of that might be that they still have family back in China so they’re under threat, or they’re still the victim of communist brainwashing.

I am super pro HK, and strongly anti mainland Chinese. Does that make me "racist"?

I mean you literally labeled millions of people “them” and painted them all with the same insanely broad brush.

There’s obviously various issues here but this lack of nuance isn’t helpful.

But what if they aren't in Canada? Your point makes no sense.

Saudis influence US politics all the time with money alone. Going full Trumper mode about immigration will only lead to racism and won't solve anything.
