Getting China into multilateral institutions was a major part of Canadian policy from the time we recognized China, and helped it get into the United Nations. We have to face a whole new challenge in working with the Chinese on multilateralism now.
We don't teach them how to play the game; they are designing the rules for the game. That challenge exists in how we work with them on very difficult issues, like sovereignty over disputed islands in the Arctic. Those are the kinds of matters in which China is a multilateral player with other countries.
We may still, on occasion, have room to influence some of its thinking. I don't think it's preordained that China is on a path to overt supremacy in the world, but it does want to dominate.
Where we see something important, we must not only work with the Chinese bilaterally but also co-operate with our Australian, Singaporean and other friends in having those discussions that are so difficult and that the United States often cannot have because of its overt confrontation.
