The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that after years of tense diplomacy, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly's visit to Beijing last week promises to stabilize the Canada-China relationship. Guest columnist Jacob Cook writes that is good news for Canadian business. Before Ms. Joly, the last visit from a Canadian foreign minister to China came in 2017, when Chrystia Freeland ventured to Beijing to pursue a free-trade agreement. Those talks quickly fell apart. Soon after, the diplomatic relationship hit a nadir. China detained the two Michaels at the end of 2018 after Canada arrested the Chinese tech royalty Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition request. The resolution of that crisis in the fall of 2021 did not result in a broader thawing of the relationship. Starting in 2022, tensions ratcheted up again when media reported alleged Chinese election interference in Canada. Beijing expelled a Canadian diplomat after Ottawa expelled one of China's. Despite these issues, it is in Canada's interest to seek a renewed relationship with China. Chinese demand for Canadian exports, encompassing industrial buyers and consumers, is robust. These include lifestyle products from Lululemon to Tim Hortons.
