I don't care about a trade imbalance with China. They aren't our only customer, and if we could bring exports and imports to zero with them, I'd be fine with that. Why don't we help develop industries in our backyard in central and south America? That's one of our biggest missteps, but also our biggest opportunity.
It should really go without saying, but that's a pretty awful basis for judging the 140,000 or so other Chinese students in Canada. That's virtually on par with the Chinese ignoramus who thinks all Uighurs are thieves because he got robbed by one on the train one day.
