Ten years ago I'm not sure I'd have said this, but now: fuck it. We should just get into bed with China. They seem totally uninterested in wars at all unless you're Taiwan, which we're not. Trade matters. They seem stable. Sure there are some human rights issues but given all the human rights issues fucking everywhere right now, like. I dunno. I'm for it.

I don't even think China is interested in any wars over Taiwan. I'm fairly certain it will be a peaceful rejoining once the US crumbles, akin to East and West Germany during the fall of the Soviet Union.

Sure there are some human rights issues

They only kill people I don't care about in mines and factories, so it's cool!

My point is more that there are few countries I can think of that are viable trading partners that aren't committing appalling human rights abuses Joe.

This is exactly the mentality that caused WW1 and WW2 AND the upcoming (or ongoing) WW3. You probably did not aware how many IP theft happened to Canadian local firms and institutions.

Who the fuck cares about IP theft lmao. They can have it, ideas should be free.

What IP? How to dig holes with oxycontin addicts? Hilarious, Canada spends fuck all in R&D.
