Epoch Times on Canada-China Relationship

The Epoch Times, a Falun Gong mouthpiece, has a feature length piece on the state of Canada's China relationship. It is overly positive about the 'principled stand' that Harper's conservatives have had. The author's main argument is that no matter what, human rights concerns musn't be overwhelmed by trade concerns. This is a reasonable stance, but balance needs to be attained. China will not listen to a country that has human rights concerns if that country has nothing to offer the Chinese. To attain any influence trade and engagement with the Chinese are necessary.
