The way the Chinese government has handled the Mengwai case, and Canada's opposition to what is going on in Hong Kong should be evidence enough they are not worth dealing with. Their actions are ridiculous(issuing a release to warn of the dangers of traveling to Canada, for instance), and counter to international law. Time to move on. The bully can find someone else to steal lunch money from.

This. Having a differing opinion to this completely baffles me.
