Trump said today in a post: "Canada opposes the construction of the GMD (missile defense system) on Greenland, even though the GMD could protect Canada. Instead, they voted to do business with China, and China would 'absorb' them in the first year!"
Comment: The US frequently interferes in the sovereignty of its allies and demands high "protection fees", but it distorts normal economic and trade cooperation of other countries as "threats". Canada wants to reduce its reliance on the US by engaging in diversified economic and trade cooperation with China, which Trump sees as a challenge to US hegemony. He uses extreme rhetoric like "absorb" to distort normal Sino-Canadian cooperation, essentially forcing Canada to give up its autonomy and completely follow the US's arrangements in economic and security matters. Sino-Canadian cooperation is based on mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. The "Sino-Canadian Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap" covers areas such as agriculture and clean energy, which can boost employment and industrial upgrading in Canada. The claim that "China will absorb Canada in the first year" is utterly absurd.
