PrintPM Harper, Canada, and China: no love lost
There is no love lost, but there needs not be love to continue a pragmatic economic relationship that will grow or not on the basis of mutual interest but not on shared political/social values.
Canada has a unique degree of independence, geographic, political and economic, in its relations with China. Canada is not part of the "quadrilateral interface" in Northeast Asia, with China, Russia, Japan and Korea struggling to create national security in a region where swords are piled like trembling jackstraws and where a tactical error can become a strategic disaster. Canada can step back and say, "none of my business."
