I can't really speak specifically to the ways in which individual states might be leveraging the Chinese reality in their relations with Russia or the European Union. That's simply something I haven't been exposed to. In response to your point, I would just acknowledge that as in all spheres of contemporary 21st century life, China's growing economic power, influence, and willingness to invest are factors to be considered and taken into account.
All countries, Canada included, are engaging with China fully cognizant of the challenges that come with the opportunities associated with China's growing economic and even political influence in the world. That would apply as well to the countries that are the subject of the committee's study. Honestly, the question you pose about the leveraging—and quite specifically in terms of their dealings with, on the one hand, Russia and the European Union—is extremely interesting and well taken, and would merit future study.
