Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Visits China to Rebuild Ties and Diversify Trade

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is visiting China for the first time in nearly a decade to rebuild strained relations and reduce Canada's economic dependence on the United States amid ongoing trade tensions. The visit aims to diversify Canada's exports, focusing on trade, energy, and agriculture, while addressing tariffs and strategic partnership issues. China encourages Canada to pursue greater autonomy from U.S. influence. Concurrently, Canadian MPs ended a Taiwan visit early to avoid conflicting with Carney's China engagement, reflecting Ottawa's careful diplomatic balancing act.
