New Prime Minister, new relationship with China.
China’s playbook seems to consistently follow this pattern. If they get in a spat with anther country, the grudge continues until a new state leader comes into play, then all past grievances are reset. Sort of like Union-management - when a new collective agreement is signed, past active grievances tend to be voided.
Given that Carney is devout Catholic, we shall see if his dedication to the Pope, given the very tumultuous relationship between the Roman Catholic Pope and China, gets in the way of Good Governance in Canada’s policy decisions towards China.

That’s right. And conversely cutting ties because you don’t trust a country or don’t approve of all its doings is also a bad strategy. Instead maintain a working relationship, do not trust and don’t develop a dependency but utilize what is useful. That’s what China does with the West and they’ve done well.

Your opinions would be received much more favorably without the obscenities. They add nothing and turn people off.

“Fucking” is an intensifier in this sentence. The meaning would slightly change without it.

It is not an ‘intensifier’, it is just obnoxious. The purpose is not to enhance any meaning, but to ‘dominate’ over the reader. The word is used in an ‘adversarial’ context - an insult and a challenge to the reader. It is symbolic of the general anger that we see so commonly today, and I submit it is a direct cause if that anger. The demise of American civilility is completely mapped on to the curve for the use of these obnoxious, angry, combative vulgar terms in the common vernacular.
If you can’t handle the word “fuck” then you shouldn’t be online. People are angry, and rightfully so, and should be able to express said anger without being tone policed.
