There are already comments on some social media sites that Canadian PM Carney is not as transparent a person to trust totally. After all, he is as White in skin color and as Anglo-Saxon as any Hillbilly. What is going to matter is if the next USA President takes over and decides to unravel the rivalry now ongoing between the USA and Canada. What then is Canada going to do and what is in it for China? China has already experienced the backstabbing by Trudeau over Meng Wenzhou earlier, and there is no guarantee that this is not going to happen again when relations between USA and Canada normalize.
Canada is probably using China as a pressure releasing valve today, and what is going to happen when pressure eases from the USA is unknown. Therefore, amid the jubilation of closer relations between China and Canada, some sense of caution and proportion must be exercised.
Now, I also read a social media expose of a survey about which are the countries that sees China unfavorably and invariably as a threat. One would expect the top two countries to be Japan and the Philippines that have much to dislike China. Yet the surprising revelation was that Ukraine and South Korea topped the survey.
Ukraine's dislike of China stems from the fact that China supported Russia, did not rein in Russia and failed to support NATO. I have no arguments about Ukraine having this mindset.
South Korea's stance surprised me. South Korea's dislike of China is more of being jealousy induced, with China now overwhelming the South Koreans in shipbuilding, EVs, some sectors of lower end smartphones, electronics such as TVs and also the relations between China and North Korea. The fact that China fought on the side of the North during the Korean War is also a mental block in the minds of the South Koreans. Therefore, China must temper its relations with South Korea not completely open-ended but must be done with caution and in measured steps.

Canada PM, Mark Carney, is already backpedaling when threatened by Trump's 100% tariff. He has to come out with comments to pacify Trump about not leading Canada and China into a free trade relation, just only in energy and canola oil in exchange for lowering tariffs on 49,000 Chinese EVs.
I do not expect Trump to be content with the explanation, and more is to come out of the woodwork. This is not just a neighborly spat. It is a precursor to tightening Trump's mindset to make Canada the 51st state of the USA with its rich resources. Now Trump has a new mantra to bring up regarding China and Canada relations by gloating about China's influence on Canada, which is again a National Security threat to the USA. We have seen that in Trump's move over Venezuela and also Greenland. China must be demonized whatever the circumstances arising, whether China's involvement is real or imaginary, and when the slightest opportunity is available to the USA.
Now China's relations with Iran by supporting the Iranians with weapons is being hyped up for a confrontation on the cards. The USA's war mongers will not let this pass without capitalizing on it. China's relations with Afghanistan are also queuing for confrontation on the backburner when the time is ripe.
Now, let us talk about South Korea, being under pressure over tariffs of 25% just because it did not proceed fast enough with its trade deal negotiations with the USA, which I understand is trying to force South Korea to invest more in USA and pay those hundreds of billions in investments 'upfront', whatever happens. This is blackmailing of the highest order.

Wake up White Hillibies and Idiots!
Why must the Daft whole world has yo trade with the Americunts?threaten
Why can't they trade amongst themselves?
UAssA is so Great meh with their soon to be valueless banana currency!
Really, doggies been unleashes still thought that they are been leashed!
Still have the notion that the Americunts Militaries is threatening you when they are already toothless!
No eyes see
The whole world can solve its USA problem by just not doing trade with the USA. Tariffs will be rendered toothless. All countries need not have to use much of the US$ for trade and can survive without the USA. The USA cannot continue to print toilet papers at will and the USA military and all the bases will crumble.
After the Korean War, South Korea has been the biggest supporter of the USA in military adventures. The biggest troop deployed by South Korea was in Vietnam, other than its own war against North Korea.
South Korea has been supporting the USA in every war waged by the USA all over the world. And this must be a factor that China must be clear about. Any war with the USA is going to be an involvement with South Korea.
And after doing all that, South Korea gets thrown under the bus, treated just like a dog.
Beary good, ang mo chiak choorut.
