New Prime Minister, new relationship with China.

China's playbook seems to consistently follow this pattern. If they get in a spat with anther country, the grudge continues until a new state leader comes into play, then all past grievances are reset. Sort of like Union-management - when a new collective agreement is signed, past active grievances tend to be voided.

Given that Carney is devout Catholic, we shall see if his dedication to the Pope, given the very tumultuous relationship between the Roman Catholic Pope and China, gets in the way of Good Governance in Canada's policy decisions towards China.

Exactly. We're on the same planet. You don't have anywhere else to go. You cannot treat a nation like it is in an individual person. It's a different creature all together that requires different handling entirely. As much as I fucking hate the United States, so much so that I cannot elaborate on that without violating TOS, you can't just wall them off completely.

Personally I prefer the "Anything you can do, I can do better" tactic of vengeance. Take literally everything good America has ever done and buff it until it shines. Throw away anything that doesn't work. Then use all of that manipulation and forced economic struggle to collapse that sham of a country into what it actually is, at MINIMUM 3 different countries in a trenchcoat.
