You posted three articles, two of which don't have China in them even once (I crtl+F'd China, nothing), and the third which is titled "China may use Canada as 'Trojan horse' into US market", an op-ed written by Danny Lam, who if you google may as well not exist. I cannot find him anywhere.

muh russia! You should be proud to be paid for this idiocy, because otherwise you'd be that gullible and that would be tragic.

This is the kind of thing we ban accounts for. Please don't do it again, regardless of how wrong you think someone else is.

Edit: I'm dismayed to see that you've been crossing repeatedly into incivility and name-calling in other threads as well. Please (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stop doing this if you want to keep posting here. Hacker News is for thoughtful conversation, not belittling enemies.

I cited a direct NAFTA bylaw, that a product can be considered Mexican or Canadian if 50-60% of it is sourced from those countries, hence China doesn't need to be mentioned directly in the article. Take a trip to Vancouver sometime and tell me there isn't a large Chinese presence.

The fact you assume anyone you don't agree with or who provides information contrary to mainstream opinion a bot is the sign of a stunted mind.

This is not a substantive comment. The "large Chinese presence" in Vancouver is obviously not evidence of an obscure point about trade policy. It is, though, a step into dark insinuation. That's not ok here.

Worse, you went into personal attack. Since you've already been violating the site guidelines by using HN primarily for political battle (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), I've banned this account.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll use the site as intended in the future.

> tell me there isn't a large Chinese presence.

What does this have to do with anything?

Could do doesn't mean are doing.
