They will pay lip service to it in front of the UN or something along those lines, but make no mistake, diplomatic relations are way way down their list of things they want to see happen. Otherwise this would have been settled long long ago or never happened to begin with. Its also why boycotting the Olympics is nothing but an empty gesture and complete virtue signaling while we still consume everything they choose to manufacture.

Said it earlier....China plays on its own playing field and it is one where nobody else is allowed without making it uneven again. They are bullies.

Money talks....virtue signaling walks.
I'm just curious. So do you think we should just keep the status quo? Get lots of cheep stuff, sell some of our grain, and just put out a travel advisory that China may not be the best place to travel? Ignore our treaties with other countries and let Meng Wanzhou go home? If the perception is that we cant do anything than lets not do anything? Not sure where you are going with this but it doesn't sit well with me.

As for the Olympics I really don't know how you send Canadians to a country that has a travel advisory that says:

"China - Exercise a high degree of caution. Exercise a high degree of caution in China due to the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws."

This is from our own government travel advisory website.
