Reactions to the brief but tense encounter between the two men suggested both interpretations are possible and the incident serves up a taste of the complex China-Canada relationship.
OTTAWA—Was China’s president dressing down Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or was Canada standing up to China?
Topics on the table — according to a readout from Trudeau’s office circulating to reporters — included foreign interference by China, aggression against South Korea, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the upcoming COP-15 summit in Montreal.He went on tell Trudeau if there was not sincerity in their conversations, “the results could not be predicted,” according to external translations of his remarks.
“My take is the prime minister speaking clearly and loudly, making sure that Canada’s interests are well registered by the Chinese leadership,” he told reporters. It’s good that Trudeau brought it up with Xi, Conservative Foreign Affairs critic Michael Chong conceded, but he needs to be addressing it at home as well.
The Indo-Pacific strategy — a formal document laying out Canada’s policy ambitions for its relationship with regional countries, including with China — has been in the works for years.But that it wasn’t deployed in time for Trudeau’s major trip to Asia — he’s been in Cambodia, Indonesia and is now en route to Thailand — has been source of tension within the Liberal government.
“We are investing in deepening our understanding of how China thinks, operates and plans, how it exerts influence in the region and around the world — not just in Ottawa.”
