2/3 Canadians urge PM to focus on China’s human rights, not trade: poll

Why can’t China protect its own natural resources?

Share I don’t understand… why is it OK for Canada to prohibit Chinese companies from buying Canadian natural resources corporations and why is it OK for the US to stock up strategic reserves but it’s not OK for China to protect its own natural resources? Keeping commodities China, U.S. and EU face off at the [...]
