Here’s how the committee describes itself: “The Committee on the Present Danger is committed to educating policymakers and the American people about the mortal threat posed by the Communist Chinese Party and recommending and advocating for essential policy course-corrections aimed at defeating PRC aggression and keeping the United States and Free World strong and safe.”
Anybody familiar with China’s near-constant pressure tactics against Canada probably read the above and thought “Hmm, we could do with something like that up here.”
We certainly could. That’s one of the biggest problems with Canada’s current conflict with China and our stumbling response: There doesn’t seem to be any unifying principles, any actual goals or desired outcomes.
There does seem to be a pattern though, and it goes something like this: China does something bad to us. We acknowledge it’s bad and then… well, then we sit around and wait for another week or so until China does the next bad thing to us.
