... as Carney calls it:
Canada is entering a “new era of relations” with China and the stage is set for talks on ways the two countries can be “strategic partners," Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday.
The prime minister made the comments as he was welcomed in Beijing by the second and third most powerful figures in China’s political system: Premier Li Qiang and Zhao Leji, chairman of the standing committee of the National People’s Congress.
While most of the talks took place in secret, media were allowed into the room to hear opening remarks at some of the meetings and to observe a signing ceremony for a number of memorandums of understanding.
"From energy to agriculture to people-to-people ties to multilateralism to issues on security, we believe that the spirit and the substance of these discussions, and these agreements, will provide great benefit to each of our peoples," Carney said at the start of one of his meetings.
Carney added Ottawa hopes this renewal will become an "example to the world of co-operation amidst a time globally of division and disorder."
So, how much oil is China getting?
Foreign Minister Anita Anand yesterday announced Canada has “a new foreign policy” that encourages Canadians to get to know the People’s Republic of China. The announcement came almost five years to the day after MPs voted unanimously to condemn China for crimes against humanity: “This is a new government with a new Prime Minister, a new foreign policy.”
Now, about that:
I think I know enough.
