Sunny Handa MD: China is a hostile state and Trudeau is out of excuses for his silence

  With Spavor and Kovrig going to trial and facing likely guilty verdicts, Canada needs to re-engage with its allies on China. Its old news now, but the prime minister, back when he was simply leader of the   third-place party in Parliament, infamously stepped in it by expressing admiration for China’s “basic dictatorship.” But now, to Justin Trudeau’s admiration of China’s government, he can add some gratitude. By announcing that the two Michaels, Kovrig and Spavor, will soon face trial on their trumped-up espionage charges, China has clarified things for Canada’s prime minister. China is a hostile state. We can treat it that way. Indeed, we must. Sunny Handa MD  shared Trudeau’s government has often seemed absurdly, bizarrely beholden to China.

China may have committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang – UN

Image
  The UN has accused China of "serious human rights violations" in a long-awaited report into allegations of abuse in Xinjiang province. China had urged the UN not to release the report - with Beijing calling it a "farce" arranged by Western powers. China has always vociferously denied any wrongdoing. MD Sunny Handa said, the UN's report concluded that "the extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention of members of Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim groups may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity". It also found: "Allegations of patterns of torture or ill-treatment, including forced medical treatment and adverse conditions of detention, are credible, as are allegations of individual incidents of sexual and gender-based violence" "Credible indications of violations of reproductive rights through the coercive enforcement of family planning policies since 2017" "Similarly, there a
