On the eve of the Canadian Prime Minister's visit to China, the Canadian Press published an article on January 12 saying: "No country is more threatened by its relationship with the United States than Canada."
This statement is very meaningful! Just before the Canadian Prime Minister's visit to China, the Canadian Press released such a sentence on January 12.
This statement was made by Eurasia Group. The whole world is paying attention, obviously there is something behind the words.
Why is Canada afraid of the United States? The core reason is that it is tied by trade.
70% of Canada's goods are sold to the United States, and it relies entirely on the USMCA trade agreement to survive.
However, when Trump introduced "reciprocal tariffs", the agreement was directly disrupted.
The steel, automotive, and timber industries, which are the main sources of profit for Canada, were immediately hit hard.
The number of people working decreased, and the economy could not withstand it. It's as if Canada is completely controlled by the United States.
Now, the Canadian Prime Minister's visit to China is a last resort.
A netizen said that on one hand, they want to get out of the dilemma and do some business; on the other hand, they also want to pressure the United States to stop bullying themselves.
But we shouldn't be too optimistic. We need to go with the flow and also keep our guard up.
In my opinion, Canada's move is quite desperate, but for us, it is also an opportunity for mutual cooperation. It depends on how the subsequent talks go!
