    I never read the National Post, it’s usually biased and unreliable.

      Fair. Just read the Chinese state-controlled media then. It’s at least as unbiased and unreliable as the National Post, albeit leaning in the other direction, but you’ll read that the Chinese government is cheering Michael Ma.

      So you think this didn’t happen?

        My experience is if NatPo writes it, it’s not worth reading.

        In my opinion it’s the most biased major news outlet in the country.

    Michael Ma can apologize as often as he wants, his behavior is very telling. Just watch the video. The way he was questioning this expert comes right out of the Chinese Communist Party’s playbook.

    (Ma) later apologized, saying he thought McCuaig-Johnston was talking about Shenzhen in southern China, not the Xinjiang region where forced labour involving the Uyghur minority has been well documented. Ma stressed that he opposes the practice wherever it occurs.

    Riiiight.
