Directionally correct, am told Agnostic Let’s see by waiting Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly, who as foreign minister in 2022 labeled China an “increasingly disruptive global power,” said the goal now is to bring stability to the relationship between the two nations. “You know what? The conversations here have been more predictable and stable than sometimes with other countries, including our neighbor,” she said. bloomberg.com Carney Meets Xi After Touting ‘New World Order’ on China Visit Mark Carney with Li Qiang in Beijing on Jan. 15.Photographer: Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press/AP By Brian Platt and Lucille Liu January 16, 2026 at 10:52 AM GMT+8 Updated on January 16, 2026 at 12:40 PM GMT+8 Takeaways by Bloomberg Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney hailed his strategic partnership with China's Xi Jinping, referencing the "new world order". Carney signaled a calibrated re-engagement with China, naming areas such as agriculture, energy, and finance for immediate progress. Xi expressed optimism, noting "positive results" in restoring ties that had been frosty for years, and stating that healthy China-Canada relations serve the common interests of both countries. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney hailed his strategic partnership with China’s Xi Jinping, hours after touting the importance of their ties in the face of the “new world order” — a veiled reference to Donald Trump’s foreign policy swings. In the first visit by a Canadian leader to Beijing in eight years, Carney signaled a calibrated re-engagement with China at a time when neighboring US is increasingly pursuing a “spheres of influence” doctrine in the Western Hemisphere and a disruptive trade agenda. “I’m extremely pleased that we are moving ahead with our new strategic partnership,” Carney told Xi during a state visit to Beijing on Friday. A day earlier, he told Chinese Premier Li Qiang that their strengthening relationship “sets us up well for the new world order.” Carney is expected to speak to reporters in Beijing later Friday. The overture comes in the wake of Trump’s trade war that last year put tariffs on goods from American allies and adversaries alike. At the same time, the Republican leader has brought Vladimir Putin out of isolation, stunned the world by deposing Venezuela’s leader and made invasion threats toward Greenland, a semi-autonomousterritory of NATO member Denmark. Carney, who frequently talks about the Canada-US relationship as having suffered a historic “ rupture,” called for a new relationship with Beijing “adapted to new global realities.” He named agriculture, energy and finance as areas where they can make the most immediate progress. The discussions come shortly after the two governments unveiled an agreement to expand bilateral energy trade, along with other strategies on lumber, cultural exchanges and pet food exports. Xi expressed optimism, noting “positive results” in restoring ties that had been frosty for years. “The healthy and stable development of China-Canada relations serves the common interests of our two countries and is also conducive to world peace, stability and prosperity,” he said. Since taking office last year, Carney has tried to reset relations with China and deepen Canadian trade with the Asian superpower. He is among a stream of leaders including the UK’s Keir Starmerand Germany’s Friedrich Merz making trips to Beijing early this year to rebuild ties after the US and China stabilized relations with a trade truce.

US officials have put pressure on Mexico and Canada to erect barriers to Chinese products ahead of those talks. On Thursday, Carney met with executives from a range of major Chinese companies, including China National Petroleum Corp. and EV battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. Despite the agreements signed Thursday, two major trade irritants still loom. Canada is hoping to ease Chinese tariffs on its agricultural products, while Xi’s government wants to see Canada roll back its own levies on Chinese-made electric vehicles.
