In a world that is becoming increasingly defined by just two global military and economic powers, Canada has opted to turn its gaze toward China in an effort to reset its relations with the Asian powerhouse and to offset the problems currently being caused by the US.
“China is a very complicated challenge for Canada, even more so now, given all the challenges we have in dealing with the United States,” former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig explained to CTV News.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) recently revealed that Mark Carney will visit China between January 13th and 17th. While in China, Carney is reportedly set to talk about everything from agriculture and international security to energy and trade between the two countries.
