On November 4, Reuters reported: "Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau said that the meeting with China during the APEC summit was very successful. Trudeau stated that he does not expect China to immediately remove tariffs on commodities such as canola. The goal of this meeting is to rebuild high-level relations, and both sides discussed cooperation in the field of clean energy. Previously, Canada followed the US in imposing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, and China retaliated by imposing taxes on canola, causing heavy losses to Canadian canola farmers. Recently, China has resumed group tours to Canada, and Canada considers this a positive outcome of the meeting. In the context of Trump's 'America First' policy, Canada's economic recovery prospects are bleak, and repairing relations with China has become a key focus of Trudeau's diplomacy!"
[Clever] Trudeau's success may be a late pragmatic approach and a lingering hope! Canada calling the resumption of talks with China a success is actually a passive response to its own diplomatic missteps. Initially blindly following the US in imposing a 100% discriminatory tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, which led to China's precise retaliation, making four thousand canola farmers in western Canada victims. This is self-inflicted for Canada. Now, while claiming to rebuild relations, it remains vague about removing tariffs on China, only boasting about the resumption of group tours. Under the pressure of Trump's 'America First' policy, Canada's economy has already exposed the fatal flaw of over-reliance on the US. If Canada continues to adopt an opportunistic mindset of showing loyalty to the US and seeking benefits from China, without thoroughly correcting its cognitive biases, so-called relationship restoration is nothing more than a mirage!
