      America has threatened to forcibly annex Canada. China has not. So yeah. China’s certainly got its problems, but I don’t feel as personally or nationally threatened by them.

        Well, as long as you’re not a Chinese citizen, you’re probably safe. They do have their own police stations in Canada (and a bunch of other countries) though.
