America offers the butcher knife, China offers great gifts, and Canada does not complain about America that bullies it to tears but instead accuses China of being a threat!
Upon taking office, Trump wanted to incorporate Canada as one of his states and first targeted Canada with harsh tariffs. Trump also condemned and pressured Canada for its poor handling of the fentanyl issue, treating Canada like an insignificant pawn to bully. Canada was also very angry at Trump's actions and retaliated preemptively against the U.S. In short, America has gone too far this time.
In contrast, China offered Canada a great gift by sending a huge oil contract worth 7.3 million barrels. Under American tariff measures, imports of oil from America have plummeted, making Canada the biggest winner by grabbing a large portion of the market share. Despite Canada's past inability to uphold fairness on many issues and always acting as America's lackey to counter China, we remain open to cooperation. During Canada's most difficult times, China still sent a large oil contract.
However, Canada did not show gratitude, instead of blaming America that bullied it to tears, it publicly accused China of being a threat. Observers reported that on April 17th local time, Canadian Prime Minister Carney criticized China as the "greatest threat" in geopolitical terms. This issue shows that some Western politicians will still view America as their master even if America treats them badly.
As long as the master gives a little face, they get so excited. Even if China sincerely cooperates, these politicians still do not show gratitude and regard China as a threat. It can be said that the prejudice of Western politicians is deeply ingrained.
