Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in South Korea, marking a significant turning point in Canada-China relations. This meeting, the first formal discussion between the leaders since 2017, signals an intention to rebuild ties and address ongoing trade disputes. Carney expressed a desire to reset relations and acknowledged the challenges in lifting tariffs on Chinese goods. Xi has invited Carney to visit China, further indicating a push towards improved bilateral cooperation, with discussions around tripling trade between the two nations. While some in Canada view this rapprochement as a betrayal of their ally, the U.S., others see it as a necessary step towards mending international relationships.
