That's an easy question, but I would flip it back to you. How would you envision an approach to foreign policy or trade policy that prioritizes—if I understand you correctly—a form of decoupling or non-relationship with a regime, maybe not specifically China?
It's possible to think of many regimes that we maintain trade and diplomatic relations with, among other things, but that have been found to be responsible for gross violations of human rights. Since Canada is not securing a commitment, I think we also have to be realistic about the weight and influence that Canada can have on these issues, compared with China, as a self-proclaimed middle power.
