Ministry of China Affairs
It's all about checks and balances. When the Canadian ambassador to China is appointed he/she must be accountable to Parliament through an institution such as the Canada-China Committee. It is especially critical because of Canada's experience with its last two ambassadors. There should be no compromise on this issue. It is that important.
The author proposed several years ago the creation of a special ministry called the Ministry of China Affairs. Ministries are much more permanent and powerful than committees. The myriad issues concerning national security deserve the full attention of our government, Prime Minister and institutions. While an Indo-Pacific Strategy may shift trade away from China it does not lessen the need one iota for a Ministry of China Affairs concentrating on national security. If anything the need is now at a crisis level.
Wake up, Canada! You're in danger of becoming a R.I.P. Van Winkle. Napoleon warned us about the "sleeping giant of China". It's now wide awake striding the world and swimming the seas. At the moment, we have lost the battle with China and are on track to lose the war before a single shot has been fired. Canada is no longer even a Middle Power, but is a vassal state of the Middle Kingdom.
"Rip Van Winkle" was a story written by Washington Irving in 1819 or just a few years after the Battle of Waterloo. Winkle is supposed to have wandered in the Catskills where he follows the ghosts of Henry Hudson's men into the wilderness. He is given a potion which makes him fall asleep for 20 years. He awakes to a very different world. In fact, he has missed the American Revolution. Let us say that he was no Odysseus as his dog didn't even recognize him.
Canada has been asleep since 1911 or the Qinghai Revolution, during The Chinese Communist Revolution, the Industrial Revolution of the Great Leap Forward, The Cultural Revolution and the AI Revolution. It resembles the crew of Henry Hudson who undertook four voyages in search of the Northwest Passage to China on behalf of the Dutch East India Company. They didn't succeed and wandered in the wilderness.
It is true that Canada recognized the People's Republic of China on October 13, 1970 under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. However, that was during the FLQ crisis when martial law was enacted under the War Measures Act. That event followed Lin Biao's declaration of martial law in the spring of 1969 "to rid himself of some potential rivals to the succession". It is not implied that the events are connected except with regard to synchronicity. The actual recognition of the People's Republic of China by Canada went practically unnoticed with the bombings and kidnappings in the streets of Montreal. Let us not forget either that the recognition was more a reflection of anti-American imperialism than pro-Mao revolution.
In a sense, Canadians are like the ghosts of Henry Hudson's men who wandered about like sleep walkers. Their governments and financiers were seduced by the capitalist dream of China's wealth through trade as Henry Hudson's men were seduced by stories of Chinese streets paved with gold. A stone discovered in 1959 near Chalk River, Ontario reads "HH 1612 CAPTIVE" ie. captive of the Algonquins. Henry Hudson's men never did find a passage to China. It seems though that China found reasons why it needed the Northwest Passage. Will Canadians find a stone in 2112 which reads "CAN 2112 CAPTIVE" under a Chinese flag?
