It's interesting to me how much China is behaving very much like a "gang", like the Crips or Bloods from the 80's. "You take one of ours, we'll grab some of yours." Doesn't matter what the reasons for the grabs are, it's just posturing.

It's sad when you're international relations are at the level of hoodlums.

If he is not Canadian, would it be different for such drug case?

The timing for reviewing a case already concluded and the rare step of inviting western media suggests narrative play.

China did warn of severe consequences. At the very least, China wouldn’t have allowed a low level official to determine international discourse. Perhaps China is at least suggesting the same thing to Canada -- don't allow a low level process to interfere with high stakes conversation.

This man Winston Sterzel [0] has been predicting something like this will happen in China, as they have no tolerance for drugs due to the horrors of the opium crisis. [0] = https://www.youtube.com/user/serpentza

>they have no tolerance for drugs due to the horrors of the opium crisis.

Are you sure? They are the huge exporter of Fentanyl to North America while the Chinese Government turns a blind eye.
