As someone who runs a company that have several patents, it is common knowledge that patents are easier to defend in China than the US at present. Property law has been maligned over the past few decades in the US. Hopefully now, with a conservative bench, that reverses. Innovation is suffering imo. The Alice 101 ruling in particular has made defending IP a long shot today in the US. We recently licensed some patents to several Chinese firms, both domestic and international operators.

China is nothing like the US for Canada purely because Canada's dependence on China is at least an order of magnitude smaller than with the US. It is in Canada long term strategic interest, and well aligned with the Canadian culture, to be a "neutral" hub of various entities. Canada should forge stronger economic ties with China and EU+UK and pepper it with more deals with Australia and NZ. Canada doesn't have to do this solo - but can be a hub through which these countries form some partnerships (e.g. by facilitating and participating in Canadian divisions of US companies who wish to deal with China). One should not be so dependent on any single entity as to become their protectorate.
