If the new American foreign policy is meant to “confront China”, they’re doing it wrong.
www.theglobeandmail.com
Basically, the Americans have left Australia and New Zealand to fend for themselves, allowed the rest of the Pacific Islands to fall under the sway of Beijing, after punishing said Pacific Islands with devastating tariffs.
These are the actions of a government led by a Chinese agent.

Surely, this will get blocked by the Feds on national security grounds?

Even better, the BC Ferries Board is stacked with former NDP leaders
B.C.’s transportation minister has raised concerns with B.C. Ferries about its decision to have a Chinese shipyard build four new large ferries for its passenger fleet during a trade conflict between Canada and China.
The winning bidder on the contract announced Tuesday is Chinese state-owned China Merchants Industry Weihai Shipyards.
Mike Farnworth said in a statement he was worried about procuring services from “any country that is actively harming Canada’s economy” with tariffs and protectionism.
“BC Ferries is an independent company responsible for its own operational decisions. While BC Ferries has made its decision to purchase new vessels offshore, I am disappointed more involvement from Canadian shipyards was not part of the contract,” he said.
Farnsworth’s office declined a request for an interview.
The minister’s remarks came hours after the announcement by BC Ferries CEO Nicolas Jimenez that the Chinese shipyard had been chosen to build its vessels, with the first expected to come into service in 2029 and the others following in six-month intervals.

It’s quite disappointing to me how many westerners, ie: Americans,Canadians and Europeans actually love this level of technology. Here’s another one….in China, in the major urban centres at least, you can physically pay for products in shops using just a scan of your palm-print if you happen to forget your phone and wallet at home…..think about that, especially in context with this face-scan tech.
