Predictable, but still disappointing.
One of the most oft-used tactics of the Chinese Communist Party to deflect criticism is to claim that people are being ‘racist’ when expressing concerns over China’s actions.
The tactic is heavily used in the West, since China recognizes that accusations of racism often stop a conversation immediately.
Unfortunately, Justin Trudeau is now employing the same tactic in an effort to evade the China election interference scandal.
When asked whether he was warned about CSIS’ concerns regarding an MP who allegedly received significant help from China, Trudeau instead directed the conversation towards anti-Asian racism.
The move is a classic CCP tactic, and it’s one that Trudeau has employed before. Now, as the China election interference scandal swirls, he’s turning to it once again.
You can watch Trudeau’s remarks below:
“Watch as Justin Trudeau implies that it’s racist to ask questions about Liberal MPs and allegations of China’s interference in Canada’s elections. Later he would state it to be racist, here he just implies it.”
