He is now promoting a \u201cstrategic partnership\u201d with China not just in business, but also in highly sensitive areas such as national security, culture, journalism and more. This reversal occurred without public consultation or parliamentary debate and contradicts Carney\u2019s previous claim during the 2025 election campaign that China was our greatest national security threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we are doing this pivot away from the USA for no reason whatsoever&#8230; &#x1f914;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carney made China our new &#8220;strategic partner. &#8220;Havel detested dictatorships and believed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[282],"tags":[2233,150,1102,57],"class_list":["post-44033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article","tag-carney","tag-china","tag-tfg","tag-usa","wpcat-282-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=44033"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44036,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44033\/revisions\/44036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=44033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=44033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=44033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
