Canada makes a 180-degree turn, learning from Australia to be friendly with China, and the Five Eyes Alliance all oppose it?

November 1st report, during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit held in South Korea, China and Canada held talks.

This is the first face-to-face conversation between the heads of state of the two countries since 2017. After the meeting, Trudeau posted on social media that this is a turning point for Sino-Canadian relations, and both sides will reshape bilateral relations in a pragmatic and constructive way, and promote the resolution of various unresolved issues.

China also immediately released information about the talks, pointing out that both sides will restart cooperation in all fields and consolidate the momentum of the turnaround.

Trudeau's attitude can be described as a complete 180-degree turn. Just half a year ago during the campaign, he called China one of the biggest threats to geopolitical security and advocated confrontation with China.

But since he officially took office, Canada's policy towards China has rapidly changed.

Trudeau admitted in an interview with the media that distance is not a way to solve problems, and we have reached a turning point to create opportunities for Canadian families and businesses.

This statement reminds people of Australia's shift after the Labor Party came to power: the latter had long ago put down political slogans and restored economic and trade cooperation, successfully getting China to lift the import ban, and welcoming the historic moment of Prime Minister Albanese's visit to China.

Trudeau's attitude change is obviously not an isolated case, but a collective return to realism within the Five Eyes Alliance after the disengagement strategy failed.

Except for the United States and the United Kingdom still trying to oppose China, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have all re-evaluated their positions towards China. The reason is simple - domestic economic weakness and external dependence on China have made these countries unable to bear the cost of long-term disengagement from China.

In addition, the United States is now acting crazy, and who it is close to is self-evident.
