china fta to come after improvements in human rights: trudeauCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revealed that he does want to have closer relations with China but that is conditional to improvements in human rights and governance in China. During his visit to Vancouver, Trudeau mentioned that he won’t rush into a free trade agreement because “I don’t think an FTA is something to rush.”

Trudeau stressed that Canada needs to improve in human rights and he needs assurances that Canadian companies operating in China will be treated fairly. He stated that “I think it’s certainly a goal to look towards, but there’s an awful lot of work to do to get towards that, whether it’s on human rights and governance issues, whether it’s on respect for the rule of law around Canadian investments” in China. He alleged that “Canada and China have a long and storied relationship that goes back decades, and I certainly hope we’re going to be able to benefit from that friendship.”

According to Trudeau, Canada hopes to see advancements on shared concerns while still seeking to improve trade and investment activity. He alleged that “we certainly hope to create a relationship” that generates more Canadian jobs through exports to China’s massive and growing middle class. Trudeau concluded that “as every country around the world is realizing, this is a challenge. This is a country with a massive amount of weight but also a lot of work still to do on a number of issues that are important to us.”
