WNU Editor: China has issued its own travel warning, telling its state firms to avoid travel to Canada, U.S., U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. On a side note. Last month I posted a commentary on why Canada should issue a trade warning on China, and within the hour I received an email from a friend who works in Prime Minister Trudeau's government that I was over-reacting. Sighhh .... I know that the mandarins in Canada's Ministry of Foreign Affairs are clued in on what is happening in China, the problem is the Prime Minister's Office. They are so focused on trying to get a free-trade deal with China, they are missing out on who they are really dealing with.

In 2 years since President Trump took office, not only has tariffs been raised but now travel warnings between the 5 Eyes exist, US DOD is focused like never before on China and Emperor Xi is threatening military force against many of his neighbors.
Trump has done a great job taking the masks off the Chinese.
What a world. Oh God faith will guide me wherever i may roam.
China never had masks on...China got emboldened because Trump is so weak with Russia.
