Canada's Foreign Minister expressed amazement at the incredible efficiency of the Chinese: a large number of beef has already been shipped, and documents for seafood, soybeans, and pet food have been signed.
On January 24, 2026, Canadian Foreign Minister Anand, speaking to the media, used several "unbelievable" words to describe the speed and execution capability of China in promoting bilateral trade. She mentioned that the first batch of Canadian beef had already been shipped to China in late January, canola is expected to be loaded in March, and the access documents for seafood, soybeans, and pet food have been signed and are now entering the quarantine arrangement phase - all of this happened less than 10 days after Carney ended her visit to China.
During Carney's visit to China, China and Canada signed eight cooperation documents, including the "China-Canada Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap," covering areas such as agriculture, energy, customs inspection, and green technology. Among them, agricultural cooperation was the top priority. Canada is a supplier of agricultural products, especially with global competitiveness in canola and beef. Within less than a week after the visit, China confirmed the procurement list, initiated logistics arrangements, and simultaneously advanced the access procedures for other categories.
In the past, such processes usually took months internationally, but China not only quickly executed the process, but also achieved a seamless connection from "visit end - signing - shipping." More notably, even pet food, a non-traditional bulk category, was included in the initial open list, indicating that China is not just making symbolic gestures, but systematically opening up market channels for Canada.
Dao Ge thinks that, in terms of impact, these rapidly implemented orders have a demonstration effect. It sends a signal to other Western countries: if you show sincerity in cooperation with China, you can get substantial returns.
