Yes, I am very concerned that China understands the strategic partnership differently from the way it's been downplayed as simply “language” here in Canada. China sees our function as to support enabling their overall geostrategic purposes, which is, as Mr. Kovrig very articulately said this morning, the community of the common destiny of mankind. It's China's plan to achieve domination of the global order by 2050 in the context of China's assumption that the United States is a power in decline.
I'm concerned that our government would go along with this, that in the Great Hall of the People, facing Xi Jinping, our Prime Minister would make reference to the “new world order”, which—when you're saying it in the Great Hall of the People to Xi Jinping—clearly sends a signal to the Chinese that we are affirming their vision of the global future. That vision is a China-dominated global future, with enormous costs to our Canadian values and way of life, as Mr. Kovrig said earlier this morning.
