formed with China early this year.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The announcement has been heralded as a pragmatic reset in Canada-China relations after years of tensions, aimed at diversifying Canada\u2019s trade amid U.S. tariffs under Trump.\u00a0 The goals of the deal include increased bilateral trade, agricultural agreements, currency swaps and energy exports.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a data-image-external-href=\"\" data-image-href=\"\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/CanadaChina1.jpg?itok=PnyoFBlB\" data-link-option=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/CanadaChina1.jpg?itok=PnyoFBlB\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"9557115c-a502-41b5-b8f0-f182e6a2b9e7\" data-responsive-image-style=\"inline_images\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\" class=\"inline-images image-style-inline-images\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/CanadaChina1.jpg?itok=PnyoFBlB\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The problem is, Carney also wants Canada to maintain its relationship with Taiwan, which the CCP views as a violation of their &#8220;One China&#8221;

high-profile visits when they overlap with China diplomacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan&#8217;s envoy to Ottawa warned that Canada&#8217;s burgeoning attachment to China could put them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipolitics.ca\/2026\/05\/01\/taiwan-speaks-out-against-chinas-envoy-warnings-against-canadian-parliamentarian-delegation\/\">in a vulnerable position<\/a> and lead to &#8220;trade weaponization&#8221; by the CCP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has led his country into economic chaos as one of the few leaders unwilling to negotiate a basic trade deal with the Trump Administration.\u00a0 He should have been the first to make a deal, given that around 75% of Canada&#8217;s export economy relies on US markets and there is no viable alternative that will bring anywhere close to the same trade revenues.<\/p>\n<p>Canada&#8217;s housing market is currently in shambles with prices still skyrocketing.\u00a0 Jobs losses are climbing.\u00a0 Factories are shutting down.\u00a0 Food prices are inflating.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a matter of simple math and basic geography:\u00a0 The US is the largest consumer market by far with 30% of total global buying power.\u00a0 China is around 12% of the global total and their consumer spending is far less liquid (and spread out over a much larger population).\u00a0 Furthermore, shipping goods 6000 miles to China is a lot more expensive and inefficient than shipping goods right across the border to the US.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not complicated &#8211; making a deal with the US is the superior option.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Carney and his globalist ilk are not interested in common sense trade policies, they are engaged in an ideological war with the Trump Administration.\u00a0 This is about an increasingly &#8220;woke&#8221; and socialist Canadian regime vs an increasingly nationalist and anti-woke US government.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carney has consistently painted the situation between the US and Canada as a war, and he has made it clear he intends to &#8220;win&#8221;.\u00a0 This means cutting deals with traditional enemies like China; not because it makes sense financially, but because it&#8217;s a way to spite Trump and conservatives in America.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it is a foolish plan which will only end up costing Canadians billions in export revenues and possibly enslave them to eastern geopolitical interests; further inflaming tensions with the US.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" lang=\"\" class=\"username\" xml:lang=\"\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Sun, 05\/03\/2026 &#8211;
