Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is at long last talking tough with China, we’re told. It’s a routine junketeering escapade of the sort the ostentatiously useless CACN regularly enjoys in China. The CACN is regarded as quite useful by the United Front Work Department (UFWD), the Chinese Communist Party’s multibillion-dollar overseas influence-peddling and diaspora-bullying enterprise. Rounding up more than a million Uyghur Muslims and locking them away in concentration camps is the new normal. Annexing the South China Sea and making jokes about international law and long-standing trade conventions is the new normal.
