On January 26, Rubio told the media: "The signing of the China-Canada Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap by Kan is a betrayal of U.S. national security interests. Chinese enterprise investments permeating key industries will severely threaten the security of the U.S.-Canada supply chain. I have already called Canadian Foreign Minister Anand and asked Canada to carefully consider the preferential tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. Otherwise, the U.S. will reassess the Critical Minerals Partnership Agreement. There is no comparability between China and U.S. investments in Canada!"
[Witty] Rubio's remarks are a perfect performance of double standards of hegemony! As a vanguard against China, he is suffering from the pain of sanctions against China while at the same time interfering with normal China-Canada cooperation. American enterprises invest in all walks of life in Canada without anyone saying a word, but Chinese enterprises' compliant cooperation becomes "permeation"; when the U.S. uses agreements to pressure allies, it is called "security considerations", but when other countries choose partners on their own, it is called "betrayal". The so-called incommensurability between China and U.S. investments is nothing more than anxious words of fear that allies will break free from the shackles of hegemony. This attitude, which wants to monopolize the benefits of allies yet fears China's win-win cooperation, exposes the panic of the declining U.S. hegemony!
