Description
Prime Minister Mark Carney had a consequential first day in China, meeting Premier Li Qiang and signing eight memorandums of understanding that signal a serious reset in Canada–China relations. The visit — the first by a Canadian prime minister in eight years — included a formal guard of honour, underscoring Beijing’s intent to engage Canada as a long-term partner.
The day’s defining moment, however, came from Mélanie Joly, who spoke bluntly to reporters about global instability — pointing clearly to the unpredictability coming from the United States. Her remarks marked a visible shift in Canada’s posture away from pressure-based diplomacy associated with Donald Trump.
In this video, we break down why Day One in Beijing matters, what the signed MOUs reveal about investment and trade potential, and why expectations are now building around possible announcements on Chinese EV manufacturing in Canada and relief for Canadian canola farmers. This is about leverage, options, and a Canada that is no longer boxed in.
