Guest: Charles Burton, Senior Fellow from Macdonald-Laurier Institute
When the alleged Chinese spy balloon floated across the United States earlier this month, it ignited a firestorm of concern about Beijing’s surveillance program. U.S. President Joe Biden called it a violation of U.S. sovereignty while, after other unidentified objects over North American airspace became of interest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged “a very serious situation.” The reaction spoke volumes about U.S. and Canadian concerns, while Beijing insisted the initial white orb was an errant civilian airship. Charles Burton, a Senior Fellow from Macdonald-Laurier Institute and expert in China-Canada relations, joins “This Matters” to discuss what we’ve seen in the skies, surveillance technology and the state of our relationships with China.
