Canada's attitude towards us has changed! On June 3, according to the Wall Street Journal report, Canadian Prime Minister Carney said that Canadian officials are negotiating with their Chinese counterparts to persuade Beijing to lift a series of tariffs on Canadian agricultural food and seafood products. In a statement issued after Carney met with provincial premiers from various provinces, these leaders unanimously agreed that regular engagement with China is necessary to improve overall trade relations.

Clearly, Canada is sending out the message that it is in contact with us and emphasizing the need to adjust its trade relationship with us, which indicates that Canada's government attitude towards us has obviously changed. During Trudeau's period, Canada-China relations hit rock bottom. Starting October 1 last year, Canada imposed a 100% additional tax on all electric vehicles imported from China, and starting October 15, Canada imposed a 25% additional tax on steel and aluminum products imported from China.

Canada's serious damage to Sino-Canadian economic and trade relations has been met with our firm countermeasures. After Trump took office and Trudeau stepped down, due to Trump's tax increases on Canada and his repeated statements about annexing Canada, this led to an unprecedented deterioration in Canada-US relations. The Carney government has made strengthening ties with Europe the focus of Canadian diplomacy.

Now that Canada has expressed its willingness to improve relations with us, it clearly shows that Canada pragmatically realizes that improving relations with China will help improve its international environment. Now Canada hopes we can cancel a series of tariffs on Canadian agricultural food and seafood products. Of course, Sino-Canadian talks can take place, but Canada also needs to address the root cause of the problem. If Canada is willing to move toward us, we believe that Sino-Canadian relations will certainly improve.
