Beijing Breakthrough: Carney Xi ink tariffs pact slashing Canadian canola levies 85→15% by March 1; Canada drops Chinese EV tariffs to 6.1% MFN rate allowing 49K vehicles. Carney hails “realistic, respectful” partnership amid Trump tariff uncertainty driving diversification from US ($761B trade partner).

Details & Context

Tariffs Timeline: 2024 Canada slaps 100% Chinese EV tariffs following US model. Beijing retaliates $2B+ Canadian agri-food (canola seed/oil). 2025 two-way trade $118B drops 10%. March 1 reset: canola seed 15%, meal/lobster/crabs/peas zero tariffs through year-end.

Carney’s China Play: First PM visit since Trudeau 2017 pre-Meng Wanzhou crisis. Met EV battery makers, energy giants Thursday; energy/trade MoUs signed. Xi: “Healthy stable China-Canada relations promote world peace, prosperity.”

Trump Factor: Carney diversifies from “unpredictable” US tariffs post-Trump reelection. “World changed dramatically” – Canada builds “competitive, sustainable, independent economy” doubling non-US exports by 2030, China target +50%.

Red Lines Maintained: Carney raised human rights, election interference, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Jimmy Lai. “Narrower, specific engagement where values differ” – no megaphone diplomacy.

The magic happened in Beijing’s fancy Great Hall of the People, where Carney and Xi chatted for hours about fixing their rocky past. Ties went sour back in 2018 when Canada nabbed Huawei bigwig Meng Wanzhou on US orders, leading China to grab two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in what looked like payback. They got free in 2021 but tariffs flew: Canada hit Chinese EVs with 100% in 2024, copying the US and China slapped back on Canadian farm stuff like canola, dropping imports by 10% in 2025.

Now, with this pact, things look up. China-Canada trade hit over C$118 billion in 2024, making China Canada’s number two buddy after the US’s massive $761 billion. But Trump’s on-off tariffs on Canadian goods – like steel and lumber – have Carney hunting new pals to cut US reliance. Carney called the talks “realistic and respectful,” hinting at dodging Trump’s chaos for China’s steady vibe.

Carney’s three-day jaunt started Wednesday: He met Chinese biz bosses from EV battery makers and energy firms, inking pacts on green power and trade. The EV deal has a cap – Canada lets in 49,000 Chinese cars at low tax, growing to 70,000 over five years. On X, folks are chatting nonstop: One post blasts Carney for “overplaying his hand” against Trump, while another cheers Canada flipping the bird to US tariffs.

This isn’t just chit-chat – it’s smart moves. Xi wants China seen as a chill global player for “win-win” deals, drawing visits from South Korea’s prez, Ireland’s PM and soon UK’s and Germany’s leaders. Carney stressed “red lines” like human rights, election meddling and Taiwan, keeping it real without full hugs. Fresh X takes from today show excitement: “A big win for Canada,” says one user, while critics like Pierre Poilievre slam Carney for past fails on tariffs.

Impact Analysis

China-Canada thaw reshapes North American trade amid Trump storm.

Diversification Win: Canada cuts US reliance; China gains North American EV beachhead.

This tariffs drop is a game-changer: Canadian farmers cheer cheaper canola exports, potentially boosting sales by billions and saving jobs in prairies. For China, more EVs in Canada means bigger market share, challenging US giants like Tesla. Economically, it cuts Canada’s US dependency – over 75% of exports go south but Trump’s hits could cost billions. Globally, it shows China’s pull as a stable buddy amid US “America First” chaos, maybe sparking more deals.

Downsides.? Canadian auto workers worry cheap Chinese EVs flood jobs, per X rants. Politically, it pokes Trump – X posts call it “defiance,” risking US backlash like border threats. Socially, better ties could free jailed Canadians and boost tourism. Environmentally, green energy pacts push clean tech but critics say it ignores China’s rights issues. Overall, views could jump if this eases prices on cars and food.

Conclusion

Carney Xi tariffs truce marks Canada-China reset after Meng-era freeze – canola farmers rejoice, Chinese EVs flood market. Trump tariff turbulence accelerates Ottawa-Beijing “strategic partnership” defying security hawks. First PM visit decade signals multipolar pivot as Xi courts global leaders. Watch 2030 non-US export doubling target.
