China's Attempts To Muzzle Taiwan

For the first time, China has felt the push back from the most powerful military might on this planet.
Spoiled rotten by big daddy and some G-20 nations who have followed the path of U.S. parenting styles.  In 20 years, China's economy have outperformed its benefactors by blatantly devalued and openly manipulated its currency, yuan.  To be competitive, some of the G-20, including Canada have spoiled China even more to gain a piece of very huge and competitive consumer market against the bigger players.  In fact, Canada is easily the biggest cheerleader for China.  Second to our newly elected prime minister, an Ontario cabinet minister Michael Chan has launched a libel suit against CSIS, Canada's spy agency and Canadian national newspaper, GlobeandMail.      
Can you blame China for building a man-made island without consulting anyone.  So spoiled, so accustom to getting everything they wanted and getting countries to kowtow to their every desire, namely, Canada and many other nations.  
Making things worse, last January, Taiwan elected a new DPP president, not China's preferred party, defeated KMT, whose values and beliefs for the Taiwanese people are slightly different than the pro-Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen.
To retaliate against the United States' push back, we have seen China's growing influence over countries in the African continent. Last week, Government of Kenya deported Taiwanese nationals back to China instead of Taiwan. This week, Lt. Cmdr. Edward C. Lin, a Taiwanese-born flight officer charged with four counts of a violation of a Lawful General Order by “wrongfully transporting material classified as SECRET." And, of course, he has to be patronizing a prostitute. We do not know if the case will move to a trial.
They say, if you do not stand up against aggression you condone it.  I guess, this is what CSIS and the GlobeandMail are doing.

However, the story posted via Brantford Expositor should shed some light on China's favorite secret spies weapon. Brian McAdam is one of my very first "whistleblower" hero. Lust is Chinese spies' favoured weapon | Brantford Expositor. Enjoy the read.
