    No tourist visas for China, suspending visa services in Canada. This is stupid. Please throw your political temper tantrum in a way that doesn’t hurt regular people.

      The point of this sort of thing is to hurt regular people. Or rather, to say to some people, “You don’t count as regular people. We get to hurt you lots.”

      Whats this got to do with China haven’t been paying attention. But china defiantly deserves to be totally internationally ostracised for the shit they are doing.

        The beef with Canada has nothing to with China. It’s just a comment on the ridiculousness of Indian foreign policy.

        I completely support ostracizing the Chinese government, but not regular Chinese ppl. I mean, they’re just trying to live their life man. Same as the rest of us.

            Perhaps. But India is the one trying get Canada to do something. India has the bad visa policy. There is no braindrain to India. So, that change won’t work.

            I think hurting the people creates a rally-around-the-flag effect. Instead Canadians tell their government to cede to Indian demands, they’ll tell the government to stick it harder to the Indians.
