China is ruled by a corrupt communist dictatorship. It is embarking on a military supported expansion in the South China Sea.  Anyone who would trust this regime or wish for it's ascendancy over the United States is looking for subjugation. The US is still militarily superior - a status that should be maintained and improved if China is going to convert it's economic success into war making.  There is nothing for the US to gain by financing China's expansionist plans. Canada is entertaining a very dangerous notion that it can snuggle up with the Chinese Tiger in lieu of sharing a bed with the proverbial American elephant. Our country has foolishly failed to prevent the infiltration of corruption from China in the form of unsavoury people and capital. Our current PM is bent on currying favour with the communists and is an admitted admirer of the Chinese dictatorship. His mindset is not the stuff that Canada's hard fought freedom arose from and betrays the valour of those who won it.
