Oh ya. The might of 30 million people.
You tell China!
Hahahahaha.
Seems like a pretty reasonable request - if you want access to sell in our market, then you also need to create jobs in that market. They're not threatening China.
Canada has no obligation to just open itself up. China itself has historically had pretty extreme protectionist policies in place.
EU did this, and Xpeng cars are made in Austria by Magna, a Canadian company owned by a rapist.
Sounds like they need an anti-rapist clause.
In general though, it makes sense.
So China doesn't care about 2 million car sales a year?
You know we can tell China to just fuck off? Right?
And the population of Canada is over 41 million.
40 million colonialists. Sure.
The USA told China to fuck off and look what that got them.
Antagonizing China isn't a smart move after decades of relying on it for everything. First, invest into domestic production, then reduce imports from China. Otherwise you're just shooting yourself in the foot.
USA told everyone to fuck off, not just China.
