Canada and China: It's complicated

from This Matters Hosted by Toronto Star

Joanna Chiu, who covers China-Canada relations for the Star, joins This Matters to discuss the state of relations between the two nations, and the issues that are causing friction between them. With a number of issues that seemed to stem from the Canadian arrest of Meng Wanzhou and the subsequent detaining and imprisonment of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, that spat has coloured all interactions between the countries since. Add to that, global geopolitical and business tensions have now been exacerbated by recent developments like the new security law in Hong Kong and U.S. President Donald Trump two recent executive orders to ban WeChat and TikTok, and it's clear that these issues show little sign of subsiding.
