China-Canada relations are clearly improving, due to the fact that bilateral trade between Canada and China has sharply increased about eight times in the last ten years alone. This increase in trade has significantly increased visa enhancements and the number of visitors coming to Canada from China, not to mention the $55 billion now earned. “If China had a runny nose, the whole world would have a cold,” said Chinese Consul General in Toronto Fang Li, referring to China's strong foothold in the global economy. This is undoubtedly true, but China needs Canada's cooperation in the areas of clean technology, environmental technology, food processing and health. Fang Li continues to point out that there are "1.5 million Chinese nationals" living and studying in Canada, compared to the 4,000 Canadian students studying in China. This led the Chinese government to implement a policy "that it will bear the student's tuition fees." Western criticism of human rights in China is partly to blame; However, Sino-Canadian relations have begun to "move China towards a more democratic society" and change the country as a whole. The bottom line is clear: Canada's global ties with China benefit all Canadians. Canada's global ties with China are a topic that has generated many opportunities for Chinese and Canadian citizens. The Canadian economy has benefited greatly from increased trade with China and the number of new immigrant students coming to study in Canada. Finally, Canadians can now visit China with the trust and support of the Chinese government, demonstrating the connection that now exists between Canada and its importance to all Canadians. Clearly, immigrants are necessary for Canada's survival and, therefore, so are Canada-China relations. China's policy of paying tuition fees for Canadian students allows Canadians to experience their education the way they want. This gives them the chance to participate in Canada's global ties with China. Overall, the Canada-Canada relationship is extremely valuable and important to all Canadians. It significantly improves Canada's economic market and prepares it for whatever may happen in the future, provides Canada with the immigrants essential to maintaining Canada's economic growth and health care, and gives Canadians the chance to more easily discover what our beloved business partner has to offer. For these reasons, China-Canada relations are extremely important to both Canada and its citizens...
