Canada on the No Visit List

So China wants to put Canada on the list of countries that their citizens are not allowed to visit. I say so what. This is how I see it.
Our PM insists on bringing up China's poor record on human rights at every opportunity. Good for our PM. So China doesn't like that very much. Tough, get used to it. So in retaliation China has decided that it will NOT allow its citizens to visit Canada. That is fine. I say lets cut off their funding. As a Canadian, I have a problem with us giving money to China. I know that under some sort of UN resolution we as a first world country give money to third world/developing counties to help them. But since China is emerging as one of the world's strongest economical countries, and one that has one of the largest military in the world, I don't think that they need our money anymore, and by this point should be self sufficient.
That money could be better invested her at home.
