Gurney: Taiwan award a chance for Liberals to grow a spine on China file

Article content For all its problems, Twitter does serve one purpose it is an excellent aggregator of the collectively absurd. Consider this week: on my feed surfaced tweets from the Canadian Armed Forces, boasting of our commitment to the Asia-Pacific region, where HMCS Calgary is on patrol in company with allied ships, including from Japan and Australia. There was also a series of tweets from global news agencies noting China’s increasingly aggressive posturing in the region, which this week saw dozens of Chinese warplanes violate Taiwanese airspace in an obvious attempt to intimidate the tiny island nation, which China considers a rogue sovereign territory.

Glavin: Canada squeezes out Taiwan s liberal-democracy champion

Article content It is nothing if not rich in irony, this latest dramatic plot twist in the ongoing “world stage” soap opera chronicling the embarrassing ups and downs of the Trudeau government’s unrequited affections for Chinese strongman Xi Jinping. Of all people, Taiwan’s heroic president, the 64-year-old feminist and liberal Tsai Ing-wen, has been forced to endure the misfortune of being dragged into the script for this week’s episode. Of all people: President Tsai is precisely the kind of dynamic middle-power personality the Trudeau Liberals, if we were to take them at their word about what they claim to stand for, would be falling all over themselves to be seen with. Nevertheless, in the last remaining setting at which Canada can still claim some international prestige the Halifax International Security Forum (HFX), now in its 11th year Team Trudeau has beclowned itself again, and this time it’s at Tsai’s expense.
