Nope, I've never said that. -5

I simply not paranoid about having a Chinese company operate in Canada like you and a few others here apparently are.

I won't excuse these requests because they are odious and blatantly un-Canadian, so I'm glad he turned down those assignments, which the right of any Canadian, where and for who to work for. If he had felt intimidated or threatened, he probably could have sued them under our labour laws - which Xinhua has to abide by or be fined.

If they don't want to follow our laws and regulations, then kick their asses out - same goes for any other organization or company that doesn't want to operate under our laws and regulations.

+1 on that. One Chinese company is facing manslaughter charges in Alberta because unsafe working conditions led to a couple workers getting killed on the job.

The company packed up, and all the employees dissapeared back to China, but if they ever come back to Canada they will be procecuted. Oh . .wait . .

According to two Chinese defectors, the Chinese government has a network of more than 1,000 spies and informants in Canada.

I guess all of these folks are just 'paranoid'.

I also guess that you're deaf, dumb, and blind.

And then he makes a post in this topic that more or less says at least part of what you said here by denouncing critics of China as 'paranoid'.

+5 for fairness.

Wow, you paranoid guys sure are paranoid.

One minute we're talking about Chinese corporations investing in the Canadian marketplace, the next we're sitting in a Brad Thor novel, trying to link cyber criminals to propaganda and foreign investment.

You better dial down those meds or the black helicopters will come for you!

Guess what, NATIONS spy on each other. That's been a fact of life for thousands of years.

We spy on them and they spy on us.

Espionage is the domain of the CSIS, the RCMP, the CSE and other governmental organizations to worry about. I have faith in the ability of the people working in those organizations. I'm guessing by your post you don't have faith in similar US organizations. That's your problem, not mine.

If you think selling an oil company (Nexen) is going to suddenly increase espionage against Canada and/or the West, you're delusional Bart.
