China calls on Canada to free Huawei CFO or face consequences

[GMantis]

China should refuse to take part in any trade talks with Trump until Canada returns her back to China. If Canada extradites her to the US, China should cut off all diplomatic relationships with Canada and put more tariffs on American goods.

yeah, they totally should!  That would teach us all to get out of bed with the PRC right quick.  We're slowly learning the lesson anyway, this would just hurry that a long.  There are lots of other sh**tty places that can make our cheap crap for us.  It might cost us a bit more, but at least they won't steal our designs.  Yes, I understand that communist regimes trying to catch up have to steal from the clever capitalistic pig dogs, how else are you going to be competitive?  Certainly not through creativity or hard work.

Not denying the theft of designs (though it's unlikely that stopping exports from China will end it) but to seriously claim that China's massive rise in the last 40 years has not involved enormous amount of very hard work and a great deal of creativity is at very least appalling ignorance about the world.
