“The single-minded focus on China suggests that it's not really just about foreign interference, but there's a political agenda being played out here."
And we’re already pretty much onside with most of what the US wants, they can always just initiate a trade dispute that cripples us for a few years to make a point when they want to.
Do you not see this as the end result of a decades long interference campaign? Is that not concerning to you rather than something to shrug off?
Whether you like it or not, our wagon is hitched to the US. I don’t think it took a campaign of interference to accomplish that. Historically, geographically, politically and culturally we are much, much more like the US than any other country.

I disagree. Our relationship is much more like that of a vassal state in the American empire. And I very much do not like that.
Hot take.
Accurate take.
