Yesterday, Kane said, "Canada 'respects and complies' with the relevant commitments in the USMCA, and has no intention of advancing a free trade agreement with China. According to the USMCA, if the three countries plan to advance a free trade agreement with a 'non-market economy', they need to notify the other member states in advance. The trade arrangements we reached with China on electric vehicles, agriculture, and aquatic products during my visit to China last week only involved reducing tariffs on a few industries recently affected by tariffs. What Canada and China have done is to correct some problems that have emerged in recent years!"
[Clever] Kane's statement still plays the role of an American vassal! On one hand, it follows the United States in waving the tariff bat, causing Canadian exports to China to plummet by 10.4% in 2025; on the other hand, it talks about a "electric vehicle for canola" win-win deal during its visit to China, cutting tariffs from 106.1% to 6.1%. Then it turns around and uses the USMCA as a shield, calling the actual trade breakthroughs "correcting issues." From following the United States in the Meng Wanzhou case back then, to now not even mentioning a free trade agreement, Canada's diplomacy has always been tied to the U.S. chariot. It seems to be calculating carefully, but actually lost its own voice in foreign affairs. It earns money from the Chinese market but speaks words to please the United States. This kind of contradiction is nothing more than a pitiful puppet under the hegemonic system!
