[War] China: "Maybe They're Deaf... Maybe They're Just Dumb"

OOC:  I feel compelled at this juncture to indicate this post, despite  it's 
provocative title, is not meant to be, nor should it be construed as, a  
personal attack against any player OOC.
 
"Maybe They're Deaf... Maybe They're Just Dumb"
 
President Xia Hong
People's Republic of China
August 5, 2014
==========================================
 
(Executive Residence- Beijing)
 
"They must be either physically deaf, or deaf by choice."  Xia rolled  her 
eyes as McColl finished up his little publicity stunt on the stage.  "I  thought 
we were fairly clear in saying that 'he' never contacted 'us'.   Maybe 
they're deaf."
 
"Maybe they're just dumb."  Bing smirked and offered a laid back  shrug.  "I 
don't know how it could have been put any more plainly.  He  never talked to 
this government, period.  All the crap about previous  Canadian Prime 
Ministers, provided there is even a modicum of truth behind it,  remains 
inconsequential."  He poured himself another cup of green  tea.  "It's about the only reason 
I could think of for their apparent  insistence when their closest ally is 
backing away from them at warp  speed."
 
"Do we issue a reply to the French?"  Zim looked up from his computer  screen 
after reading the latest Xinhua International post.
 
"And say what?"  Xia ran her hands through her hair.   "Congratulations on 
proving that when push comes to shove, censorship in the  west is alive and 
well?"  
 
"I was thinking more about their assertion that we're building up more so  
than Canada."
 
"Canada has a few million people, we have 1.5 billion, naturally we're  going 
to need a larger military.  Likewise, it might do some good to remind  our 
dear French President that 'we' weren't the ones invading sovereign  territory 
and murdering civilians half a world away."  She was really  starting to 
disdain the French... someone 'should' throw Africa back in their  faces, but this 
was supposed to be diplomacy.  "And would you kindly shoot  them in the foot on 
the multi-lateral thing?  Since when has France 'ever'  believed in anything 
but multi-lateral engagement?"
 
"You know Korea is likely to get brought up."
 
"Let them bring it up."  President Hong sighed with  exasperation.  "What we 
did was a peace-enforcement operation in a country  on our border which lacked 
sovereignty at that point and time because it did not  have an effective 
governing authority, one of the key components of  sovereignty.  What the 
Canadians did was an act of war, point blank."
 
"Speaking of the Canadians, they're denying us access to their  courts.  
Apparently the rule of law in Canada is limited to 'unless you're  a foreigner'."  
 
This was just getting better and better Xia muttered.  "Then we'll sue  them 
globally rather than locally, I don't give a damn.  Let the Canadian  people 
make the decision on whether or not they want to be in a more  authoritarian 
regime than the great evil China."  She gave a dismissive  wave of it's 
non-importance.  "Bing, get your senior advisors here.   We should begin gaming 
outcomes."
 
==============================================

ACTIONS
 
1.  Smack the Frogs around a little for hypocrisy (Sorry Dan  :-))
 
2.  Call the Canadians out, as they've apparently been watching a  different 
show from everyone else.  We're not claiming Canada never  approached China in 
the past, we're claiming McColl never approached Hong.   Therefore there can 
be no logical claim that all avenues were exhausted, and no  logical claim 
that Canada actually tried to resolve things peacefully.  You  can't blame one 
Administration for the failures of another UNTIL you give them  the chance.
 
3.  Remind the Canadian government in no uncertain terms that Canada's  legal 
system is set up with the Judiciary, not the Executive in charge of making  
legal decisions.  Prime Minister doesn't get to tell the courts what to  do... 
that's a level of tyranny that they wouldn't get away with in China...  which 
to all the anti-Sino's out there should mean something :-p
 
4.  China to begin war-gaming possible combat scenarios in  Canada.  Units to 
be brought to maximum readiness should they be ordered  into action.
