Foreign relations and economics genius Trumpedo has made possible the first visit by a Canadian leader to China in nearly a decade.
Mr Carney arrived in Beijing on Wednesday night for a four-day visit designed to repair ties between the two nations as Canada hopes to firm up relations with countries other than the US. It’s the first visit by a Canadian leader to China in nearly a decade.
"The world has changed much since that last visit. I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order,” Mr Carney said.
He told Chinese president Xi Jinping: “We’ll deliver stability, security and prosperity for people on both sides.
“It is important to start this new strategic partnership at a time of division,” Mr Carney told Mr Xi, calling for focus on areas that can bring “historic gains” for both, such as agriculture, agri-food, energy, and finance.Has the world ever seen a global power just voluntarily give away their global dominance the way the US is doing under Trumpedo?
So much winning.

At the current rate of release, we should have the complete collection of documents in hand by December 14, 2125.
Of course, many passages in the documents will still be blacked out……

Not just Canada, of course. Europe is also starting to pivot towards closer economic ties to China as well:
In recent weeks, Brussels and Beijing have signaled that they have resolved a fresh set of trade frictions that had threatened to turn into a broader confrontation over electric vehicles, subsidies and market access. Europe remains wary of China’s industrial policies and political system, but the E.U. now views China as a necessary partner.https://archive.ph/qCfxA#selection-355.55-359.291It's an understandable reaction to Trump's economic and trade policy. The U.S. has shown itself to be unpredictable, willing to sharply upend existing terms of business with other countries, to the point of abrogating trade agreements, unilaterally and with virtually no advance notice. Other countries don't want to be exposed to that risk. They want stability. So, they're diversifying their exposure to the U.S. economy by expanding their ties to China.

Forget about chess or 4D chess. Trump can’t even play checkers.

How is that "stable"?
China is on the verge of war with several nations (including us). They are seizing waters that are not -by international law- theirs, harassing boats/ships in those waters (e.g. Scarborough Shoals), menacing Taiwan, and all of this affects one of the busiest shipping routes on the planet.
I get wanting to rely less on us because we're -frankly- crazy and erratic. But China is predictable in that it wants to disrupt the status quo, and seize territory/waters that aren't theirs. What next? Is someone is Brussels going to announce "there will be peace in our time"??

"India’s exports to China surge in December while shipments to U.S. decline as Trump tariffs bite"
"As U.S. tariffs weigh on India, China has emerged as India’s largest goods trading partner, doing business worth $110.20 billion between April and December 2025,
upstaging the U.S. at $105.31 billion, data from the India’s commerce ministry shows."

i take carney serious as an economic strategist, and he is no fool when it comes to china.
e.g., it seems this deal imports massive car deflation via subsidized chinese models at 6% tariff.
a knee-jerk reaction would be to assume he has destroyed american companies with huge infrastructure and capital in canada (no need, trump is seeing to that).
in reality, chinese car imports are capped at ~60k/yr, less than 9% of historical volume in canada, until the deal expires.
this is an extremely modest approach going back to pre-trump levels, nothing more than stating canada is quite capable of making simple deals elsewhere at appropriate scale. carney deserves a break away from orange bloatman and wasted efforts to speak rationally.
plus, you know, canada may want to oppose the greenland heist.

Trump (and his cult) think that since the U.S. economy is the biggest on the block, that they can throw their weight around with impunity and force other countries to do what they want. What they fail to understand is the how and why the U.S. economy became the biggest in the world. They are going against everything that made the U.S. economy so great. They do not understand that trade can be mutually beneficial. They do not understand the intangible benefits that come from being a trusted and stable ally who respects treaties that have been signed. They don't understand the benefits that the U.S. economy accrued when the brightest, hardest working people immigrated here. They don't understand how well-regulated free markets work so much better for the economy that a centrally planned economy run by presidential tweet.
The U.S. has been losing manufacturing jobs since Trump has put his mark on the economy. Allies are moving away from us. Enemies such as China are growing stronger as they assume the mantel of world leader that Trump seems to want to discard.

"The Art Of The Deal" - Trump's making deals left and right. "Like nobody's ever seen before!"
Too bad the deals no longer involve the U.S.
MAGA!
