I spoke to some Chinese businesses, and they expressed confusion with the Canadian position at times. Initially, the Prime Minister expressed concerns about human rights and associating human rights changes with trade, that there was some connection. There's the two-year delay on signing FIPA, but not ratifying; and still the current uncertainty around state-owned enterprises where there are different positions within the Canadian government as to whether Chinese state-owned enterprises should have access to essential Canadian companies, resource companies in particular, but also high-tech and the rest.
I still get a sense that the renminbi's nice and it's good, but there's still some confusion as to whether, for example, China has moved on any of the human rights issues to the satisfaction of Canada to allow these other conversations to advance.
