Canada: It's not the year to arrest Meng Wanzhou anymore, cooperation with China is needed
November 11 report, Canadian Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Macdonald said after ending his visit to China that this visit marks the beginning of the recovery of Sino-Canadian relations.
In an interview, he emphasized: It's no longer 2018, and hopes to promote cooperation with China.
In 2018, due to the Meng Wanzhou incident, Sino-Canadian relations fell to a freezing point.
For the following years, Canada was long bound by its own ideology on issues with China. In the final years of the Trudeau government, it frequently echoed the United States on issues involving China with strong rhetoric.
However, this approach did not bring any practical benefits, but instead made Canada weaker and weaker.
Especially after Trump took office, he was kicked out in a flash.
Afterward, the new Canadian government started to hint at improving relations with China, and showed some firm stance towards the United States.
This is similar to the situation in Australia after the Labor Party government took over, which indeed showed the willingness to ease relations.
From the perspective of foreign policy strategy, Canada's policy adjustment is also a form of self-repair. As the global pattern moves from a unipolar to a multipolar one, Canada must reposition itself, especially given its proximity to the United States.
Canada indeed needs to learn from the Albanese government in Australia. Both are within the Anglo-Saxon circle. The current Australian government has actively restored relations with China, not only gaining economic benefits, but also political benefits, easily achieving re-election. Even the Australian opposition that once loudly opposed China has begun to speak some nice words.
This is the new reality of this world.
