Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, board director at the China Strategic Risk Institute and former senior Canadian government official, discusses Prime Minister Carney’s upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC Summit. She examines the risks of Canada pursuing closer trade ties with China, while warning that such moves could undermine Canada and invite Chinese leverage over Canadian policy on Taiwan, Uyghur human rights, and critical infrastructure.
She also addresses the striking shift in Canadian public opinion, with more Canadians now viewing the U.S. as an enemy than China, and critiques the lack of progress on addressing Chinese foreign interference in Canada.
In this case, the “lesser of 2 evils” still has a lot of blood on its hands.
Plus, there are a lot more than 2 options available to us. There is no need to go all-in with either China or the US.
