The US will fight to the last Canadian.

Speaking of the Chinese executive, a third Canadian has been arrested in China today. It's going to get worse....

 

Question for the group: What would happen if Canada advised its citizens to leave China till this matter is resolved.

There's a lot of principled people these days whose first principle seems to be that it will be someone else that fights while they don't.

I've gone to China on business in the past and may do so again. For me, if this were to occur, I'd just put off the trip. What appears to be happening is that the Chinese are starting to tighten up their own law enforcement in places where they'd previously let things slide a bit - this third one is detained on a problem with her working visa or something like that.

My Province cancelled a planned visit by government officials as part of a trade mission. If your a tourist with no social media background critical of China, your likley to be let alone. Otherwise I would think twice. I hope we see a downturn in passengers leaving on flights passing through Shanghai or Hong Kong with an uptick in other Asian airlines.

I doubt your average person will know or care about such things. I'm sure CEOs will probably back out in large numbers, both form the states and Canada. At least until it is resolved.

A course of action with more upside would be if Canada advised its businesses and financial services providers to leave China until this matter is resolved. The resulting market vacuum could easily be filled by Japanese providers in various ways.

Canadia is best money laundry.

It was, but current Provincial government is very interested in what has happened and is encouraging investigations, the resulting market price drop when that money flees, will be good for those that voted them in.
