Glavin: Meng’s case hasn’t just revealed Huawei to be the tool of the Chinese oligarchy and the menace to national security that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has been warned about, time and time again, by a succession of Canadian and American security and intelligence agencies — warnings the government has ignored.
The whole thing has exposed the charade of Canada’s rotten China policy, with its cavalier inattention to the increasingly savage police-state conduct China exhibits at home and abroad, and its absurd pretensions about strengthening and deepening “win-win” relationships in Canada-China trade and diplomacy. The events of the past few days cannot be undone. They should serve as a bracing lesson, an opportunity to wholly rewrite Canada’s operating manual with China — a good thing, in the long run.
