Factory jobs lost to Asia are not coming back, and attempting to reclaim them would be like changing the ocean's current, said China's ambassador to China Cong Peiwu at a trades union webinar.

Peiwu told the Pearson Centre for Progressive Policy of Ottawa that federal attempts to bring back manufacturing was a hopeless attempt to curb globalization.

"Some forces and even some countries, some governments, are taking advantage of the outbreak to try to stop the globalization," said Peiwu, according to Blacklock's Reporter.

"I don’t think it is the right choice, because globalization is in keeping with the trend of the times, you know," said Peiwu. "It’s moving forward. It’s like the ocean, for the economy of all the countries."

"It's the ocean and it's rivers of each country running into the ocean," he said. "And it's very difficult. You cannot do that, say today you can try to move the worker back from the ocean to different isolated lakes or rivers."

Peiwu then said Canada must "maintain the supply chain and production chain globally."

Canada has run a trade deficit with China every year since 1992, including nearly-$52 billion last year.

"We are not closing our doors to the outside," Peiwu continued. "We are encouraging more and more imports from other countries."

The Chinese authoritarian regime has continued to push for more control over global trade, and has been doing so effectively.  According to HowMuch, China's other trading partners in which the regime has a positive trade balance include the US at $324 billion, Hong Kong at $295 billion, the Netherlands at $61 billion, India at $58 billion.

Deputy Foreign Minister Marta Morgan said at a January 30 testimony that the CCP was going for an "authoritarian grip on power, and criticized the country's "coercive diplomacy against individuals and countries that threaten the Chinese government’s interests."
