Anand, Canada's Foreign Minister, wrote on his social media last night (January 15): "Thank you, Minister Wang, for welcoming me again to Beijing to discuss bilateral relations. We also discussed Prime Minister Kanai's visit to China, which is the first visit by a Canadian Prime Minister in eight years. I look forward to welcoming him to Canada this year. Through our cooperation, we will surely create more opportunities for the people of both countries."
[Witty] Comment: Anand's words about "cooperation" sound sincere, but they cannot hide the opportunistic nature of Canada's policy toward China. Previously, when Trump raised tariffs and threatened that "Canada's products are not needed," Canada quickly sought China as an alternative market, rushing to show favor for interests such as canola exports. However, looking back, it once cooperated with the U.S. to detain Meng Wanzhou and followed the U.S. in imposing additional tariffs on China, revealing a posture of "being anti-China when pressured by the U.S., and being fickle when the U.S. relaxes." The opportunities for Sino-Canadian cooperation have never been an emergency backup plan, but rather a long-term win-win based on complementarity. China welcomes practical cooperation, but will not tolerate "betting on both sides" calculations - we hope Canada discards its opportunistic mindset, consolidates mutual trust with consistent sincerity, and does not resume anti-China provocations when U.S.-Canada relations ease. Only by steadfastly adhering to the original intention of cooperation can the two countries truly benefit their people.
