On the evening of March 22nd, the website of the Chinese Embassy in Canada published a record of Chinese Ambassador to Canada Wang Di’s recent interview with Canada’s largest English language media, The Globe and Mail, on issues related to China Canada relations. Wang Di expressed the expectation that Canada will establish a correct understanding of China, adopt a more proactive and pragmatic policy towards China, and create a fair, just, and non discriminatory environment for exchanges and cooperation in various fields between China and Canada; It is hoped that Canada and China will meet each other, deepen mutual trust between the two peoples, and promote the improvement and development of bilateral relations. He said that China’s understanding of China Canada relations is that China is willing to cooperate with Canada at any time because it is beneficial for the people of both sides. But I hope our sincerity can receive a sincere response from Canada as well. When asked if China’s recent imposition of tariffs on Canada is a request to take sides, Wang Di said that the relationship between Canada and other countries such as the United States is a matter for Canada and those countries, not for China. But Canada should not sacrifice China’s interests and China Canada cooperation when developing relations with other countries. The countermeasures taken by China against Canada are discriminatory measures against Canada towards China. He also pointed out that fairness in trade between the two countries cannot be determined by surplus or deficit. But unilateral discriminatory tariffs are unfair. Both the tariffs imposed by other countries on Canada and the tariffs imposed by Canada on China are unfair.
