The speech sets out a road map for Canada to diversify its trade and deepen relations with India and other nations in the region. She adds: “The China of 1970 is not the China of today. China is an increasingly disruptive global power.” She also says Ottawa will be vocal about China’s brutal treatment of Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities in the Xinjiang region, “where credible accounts of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity are well-documented.”
Ms. Joly’s speech says Canada will be adding analysts in foreign missions to help Ottawa get a better read on China. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, also in October, said Canada should embrace “friend-shoring” by ending dependency on authoritarian states such as China for vital products and standing up for fellow democracies being bullied by Beijing.
