China's Ambassador In Canada Attempts To Polish Image Of Chinese Investors
OTTAWA China's ambassador in Canada is on a charm offensive, appealing to the public to look favourably on Chinese investment in the oil patch.
Ambassador Zhang Junsai has given two recent media interviews coming just after Nexen shareholders overwhelmingly approved a generous takeover from Chinese stateowned CNOOC a deal that still needs Ottawa's blessing to go ahead.
In interviews with the Globe and Mail and CTV, Zhang said Chinese businesses are interested in Canada because the investment climate is stable and regulations are "mature."
"I think that the Chinese investments come because they feel this country's environment is good, politically stable and there are very mature regulations and rules," he told CTV's Question Period in an interview aired Sunday.
"They feel that they can cooperate and learn (about) their counterpart very well. That's why they come."
He said Chinese stateowned companies make investment decisions based on profit and business potential,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], evaluating each company on a casebycase basis.
He deflected questions about warnings from Canada's spy agency that stateowned enterprises could be using their investment ties for intelligence purposes.
Last Thursday, in its latest annual report, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said the majority of foreign investment in Canada is carried out in an open and transparent manner.
However, certain stateowned enterprises and private firms "with close ties to their home governments have pursued opaque agendas or received clandestine intelligence support for their pursuits here."
But Zhang warned Canadians not to jump to conclusions, and noted that the CSIS report did not name any specific countries.
The federal government is in the midst of considering whether to approve the takeover of Nexen Inc,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. by the Chinese National Offshore Oil Company.
Harper and senior cabinet ministers have suggested they want to see "reciprocity" in how Canadian investments are handled in China.
But Zhang counters that since China has been receptive to investment from 12,000 Canadian business, especially financial institutions, Canada should also be open to Chinese money.
If Canadians want better market access and surefire rules to protect investments, Ottawa should move quickly to negotiate a wideranging trade and investment deal with China, he told the Globe and Mail.
"It's high time to do the exploratory work on the possibility of a freetrade agreement," he said. "Under a freetrade agreement there will be more and more trade and investment."
The opposition NDP is urging the federal government to hold public reviews of the Nexen proposal and to be more explicit in what standards a foreign takeover must meet in order to be approved here.
There once was a rich farmer who owned a goose that laid golden eggs. The farmer was really rich,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for he owned not only the goose, but cows, pigs, chickens, fresh water, and a lot of land. Sadly, the farmer was also quite greedy, and not very smart. He had everything, but everything was never enough: he wanted more and he wanted it now. He decided one day to sell the golden goose to his neighbour, reasoning that the goose was old anyway and too expensive to feed. In time, with the greatest source of his wealth gone and his money eventually running out, the farmer was forced to sell his cows, pigs, chickens, water, and little by little, his land, too. He ended up poor and unhappy, employed as a labourer on his neighbour's farm, where it was his job to feed and care for the golden goose.

Communist China denies liberty and freedom to all in its sphere of influence. Do not believe me? Ask the people of Hong Kong how those free elections the Communist agreed too are? Ask Chris Patten? It been a long time since the transition to Chinese rule and not one election. Hong Kong's govenor is appointed by the politburo of Comminist China. He isn't even from Hong Kong. Ask the people of Tawian.?
Who else would spy on other countries like Communist Totalitarian Soviet Union. Answer Communist Totalitarian China. These people want to dominate us. The cold war folks is not over its only half done.
Communist China now openly espouses to destroy our peaceful allies in Asia. Do you still want to reward them with our stragtegic resources.
They wanted the pot ash before to make bombs = Harper did the right thing and rejected that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Now they want oil to fuel their war machine = Harper do the right thing here and reject.
Who really wants free trade with them I don't because the price and casualty will be our freedom and liberty reduced or suppressed to please these Communists. There was a reason we did not see eye to eye with the Soviet Union nothing has changed with Communist China.
Sorry, I do not trust China. Their reliance on corporate espionage is well known across the world. Their willingness to resort to coercive force in proven. Their diplomatic endeavours across south east Asia have terrified their neighbours. Their human rights record is abysmal.
However in Canada we overlook all of that and lust after their money,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Ethical Oil is sure silent on this and the hypocritical blabbermouth Ezra Levant is strangely silent. Maybe he's out of town or in the US have an updated program loaded into his singleprocessor CPU by the Koch brothers.
