00:00:00.000 Do you know Huawei's vice president?
00:00:01.960 Huawei stealing IP.
00:00:03.240 That's your version of story.
00:00:04.680 Have you talked to people who have been followed
00:00:06.500 and have been assaulted by the Chinese government here again?
00:00:11.920 You've probably heard about the deal that our current government has made with China,
00:00:16.940 like its trade deal, to let 49,000 of their Chinese EVs into our country
00:00:21.420 and also let their media into our country as well as to draw their influence into our country.
00:00:27.120 And as a result, like, we get, like, less canola tariffs, basically.
00:00:30.840 Less canola tariffs.
00:00:33.000 The big reason that we went over, like, Scott Moe, the premier of Saskatchewan,
00:00:37.220 he went over to get the canola tariffs lessened.
00:00:40.960 But that's really the only thing, like, it basically just expands the market for canola in Saskatchewan.
00:00:47.240 And, like, all we're getting is, like, cheap EVs.
00:00:50.640 And we're basically, we're jeopardizing our EV industry.
00:00:55.240 But why are we jeopardizing? That is the market for, right?
00:00:58.920 There should be great competition, right?
00:01:01.560 But the thing is, China's not a market economy.
00:01:03.520 Nowadays, many people cannot afford a car.
00:01:06.540 When the car could be affordable, why would that be a threat?
00:01:11.420 Well, because China's not a market economy.
00:01:14.620 How do you know that China is not a market economy?
00:01:17.060 Because they're a communist nation.
00:01:19.880 Have you studied the economy there?
00:01:20.960 They're more of a fascist economy.
00:01:22.500 How do you know that?
00:01:23.180 Have you really been there?
00:01:25.780 I have studied there.
00:01:26.220 Are you an expert there?
00:01:28.700 No, but I know what...
00:01:29.540 I've been able to, like, for my past lives,
00:01:31.320 and I think there's some kind of stereotype.
00:01:35.680 That has been not your fault,
00:01:37.800 but probably by the government and social media.
00:01:41.020 So, I hope that next time when you, you know,
00:01:44.560 so obviously when you say something like this...
00:01:46.420 It's not just that.
00:01:47.520 That's the deal that they have made.
00:01:49.080 Yeah, what else is that?
00:01:50.200 They've killed our... 0.99
00:01:51.400 they've killed canadian nationals when i saw this i have to say something i hope i'm glad you did
00:01:57.360 i love canada as well but i don't know why like i consider there's a lot of stereotypes here and
00:02:03.200 not just here i saw that canada is much more inclusive and then many european countries
00:02:08.180 because i've lived in uk as well but so that is so you so me personally like so my so what i'm
00:02:16.720 understanding is that you see this as an assault on your nationality and not and not on Xi Jinping
00:02:21.940 himself and not on Xi Jinping and his government you see this as an assault on you personally and
00:02:28.600 not on their government that's right that's what I'm understanding oh yeah so what do you feel
00:02:33.780 like you saw a sign I said okay Canada is a bigger threat than us what's your opinion uh yeah I think
00:02:40.180 we're talking about geopolitics that's what I'm asking right I'm not making this personal yeah
00:02:44.260 Yeah, this is not an attack on the Chinese people.
00:02:47.760 This is the Chinese government.
00:02:49.340 Yeah, I understand, but still, it's hard for you to totally separate yourself 0.99
00:02:53.120 from the country they come from, right?
00:02:56.960 Yeah, so it's for me.
00:02:58.980 And even if for the government.
00:03:00.740 Yeah, I mean, I know.
00:03:01.900 I don't think the government is doing harm to...
00:03:04.880 Because many of the people, I know lots of Chinese people here,
00:03:08.700 they saw the Chinese government, they are so not that democratic,
00:03:13.220 like western governments but yeah to some in some sense i i do agree but it doesn't mean that
00:03:19.540 they do harm to the people nowadays so they're also trying to protect their economy and they're
00:03:25.220 trying to contribute to the peace of the world i that's yeah interesting from your facial expression
00:03:30.980 i could say that you do not agree completely but i would recommend you you read something
00:03:36.900 from the other side of the world not just from the best media like i do daily media i do daily
00:03:41.780 even if like some of the social media so-called is not controlled by the government i think there's
00:03:49.140 i think you know something some stuff like that but i really hope that like nowadays when i read
00:03:54.260 news i would like to use both on the western social media as well as chinese for sure so
00:03:58.980 that gives me a more balanced view okay like uh i really hope that have you have you talked to
00:04:04.660 people who have been followed and have been assaulted by the Chinese government
00:04:09.100 here in Canada. They've been in what way? They've been threatened, been intimidated.
00:04:13.340 In what way, like more specifically? Well, they've put together campaigns. They've gone
00:04:18.840 after their families. In what time? This would have been during our election. They've
00:04:22.540 meddled in our election here in Canada. Zhou Tei. Do you know Zhou Tei?
00:04:26.940 Intimited by what? Huh? Intimited by? By the Chinese government.
00:04:32.800 we have joe tay who was running for the conservative party had a bounty on his head
00:04:41.180 by hong kong and was told in a his his political opponent paul chang said you can go send him back
00:04:48.280 to the hong kong consulate and have him ship back that's that's an assault i'm sorry america's not
00:04:57.020 doing that here in canada i'm sorry to tell you because was not been we've no one's talked about
00:05:01.940 That's not happened.
00:05:02.680 No one's come forward.
00:05:03.460 The U.S. wants to kick Canada away, right?
00:05:05.060 I'm sorry.
00:05:05.480 There is not one American citizen here. 1.00
00:05:07.000 They want to occupy Canada. 0.65
00:05:08.220 I'm married to an American woman.
00:05:09.840 She's never at once had the American government visit her, telling her she better shut up 0.90
00:05:13.840 or they're going to send her back to you if you're executed.
00:05:16.040 Oh, sorry.
00:05:16.820 I think that the conversation is endless.
00:05:18.780 I just...
00:05:19.700 That sounds good.
00:05:22.260 I, yeah, I took it a little bit, not a little bit, quite personally, because when I see
00:05:27.580 the sign, so I was here.
00:05:29.920 Yeah.
00:05:30.100 And I have to defend my country. 0.91
00:05:31.940 yes there it is okay yeah i appreciate your time even if like then you can say maybe chinese
00:05:37.400 government their policy or something like that not china for sure that's unfair okay like it's
00:05:43.160 think about those chinese students or maybe their their parents or grandparents come from come from
00:05:48.440 china we have the sign like like that's here yeah well you it's not good i don't think like 0.99
00:05:53.880 this should be in canada i'm sorry oh yeah we also don't agree that china government should 0.67
00:06:00.580 be killing canadian citizens so i guess they did they have uh they killed them last year they killed
00:06:07.980 i think it was 30 canadians where in china they had them in holding and they had them executed
00:06:14.280 why uh they said for drug-related reasons but there was still no real proof of that
00:06:19.920 so that's the issue we have so why what's the reason why would the chinese government just
00:06:24.820 kill some some some canadians you tell me there must be some reason tell me uh tiananmen square
00:06:30.700 was a what happened in tiananmen square what happened there you know huawei's um vice president 0.97
