AOD #3

I found a video in youtube. It talks about a treaty/policy that Canada and China was having trouble with. The treaty/policy is about trading between Canada and China. China says you have to admit that Taiwan belong to China and support China for getting Taiwan in the future to able to sign the treaty. And then Canada came up with its respond, “1. Canada doesn’t want to be a part of it (conflict between China and Taiwan). 2. Is this means that if you want to be in a partnership, I will have to help you take down Taiwan and give it to you? 3. For what reason I should admit Taiwan is part of China. If I want to have trades with Taiwan, I can’t use China’s permission. I have to get the permission from Taiwan.

I was so surprise that Canada came up with such smart responds. And that was true that you can’t force someone to do something to make a deal. I used to active listening skill; I found out everything Canada said was true. I learned instead of saying no, we can find some ideas or ways to convince others by looking deeper into the meaning of the actions.
