Right, ask Canadians about "hostage diplomacy" then ask them if they've ever been to China.

I've been to china and I'm a Canadian. I'm assuming you're talking about Michael spavor and Michael kovrig. Just so you know, they were arrested for espionage and guess what happened when they were released? Michael spavor promptly sued Michael kovrig and the federal government for making him spy for Canada LOL

Cool story bro,

Tell Xi he looks like Whinny the Pooh.

It is a cool story. China played chess while Canada played checkers, and the Canadian taxpayers got left holding the bag.

Xi looks like Winnie the Pooh. Also, you do realize Winnie the Pooh merchandises are widely available on Taobao, right?

"sued Michael kovrig and the federal government for making him spy for Canada LOL"

This, this is why your either just a jackass or a CCP troll. Pushing a false narrative to excuse diplomatic terrorism.

The lawsuit wasn't about espionage or the claims made by China. It was about seeking compensation for the harsh conditions he faced during his nearly three years of illegal detention and that that the Canadian government failed to adequately protect his rights, provide the necessary consular support, or ensure his fair treatment while he was illegally detained.

China can go fuck itself, so can you.

LOL harder.

Wait are you serious? Why don't you just google them and read the litany of articles about what the lawsuit is about? They really were spies lol. Also, your spew would make a lot more sense if spavor didn't sue kovrig as well.
