Canada-China Tensions Stem From CCP Being at Odds With Canadian Values: Kovrig

Enduring tensions between Ottawa and Beijing stem from the Chinese Communist Party’s failure to understand that Canada’s foreign policy goal is not subservience to world powers but rather to defend its values, interests, and agency, says former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig.

Kovrig made the comments in an article in the July edition of the Institut Montaigne’s China Trends, a quarterly publication that analyzes Chinese policies based on Chinese language sources.
