Charles Burton Warns Canada on China Policy

In today’s three-minute interview, Stephen LeDrew speaks with China expert Charles Burton, author of The Beaver and the Dragon - How China Outmaneuvered Canada’s Diplomacy, Security, and Sovereignty.Burton explains why Canada continues to misread Beijing’s intentions, and why recent diplomatic outreach risks repeating the same mistakes. While some argue that closer engagement with China could offset economic pressure from the United States, Burton lays out why that assumption does not hold up - economically, strategically, or politically.The discussion covers Canada’s limited trade exposure to China, the failure to enforce foreign influence safeguards, and why Canada lags behind allies like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia in confronting espionage and interference.This is a clear-eyed assessment of Canada’s China problem, the risks to sovereignty, and why wishful thinking is no substitute for strategy.Independent analysis you will not hear in legacy media.You can purchase the Beaver and the Dragon published by Optimum Publishing - https://www.amazon.ca/Beaver-Dragon-O...
