PM’s visit to Beijing seen as a welcome reset to relations in a ‘new world order’

Mark Carney's visit to Beijing resulted in a preliminary trade deal, marking a significant shift in Canada's geopolitical stance as it seeks to diversify its trade relations away from the United States. The agreement includes provisions for Chinese electric vehicles in Canada and reduced tariffs on Canadian agricultural products in China. While seen as a strategic move to navigate a new world order, the deal has raised concerns among Canadian critics about potential negative impacts on domestic industries and workers.
