In this episode of Asia Pacific Conversations, Dr. Lizzi C. Lee, a Fellow with the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis, discusses China’s geopolitical and economic outlook with Vina Nadjibulla, APF Canada’s Vice-President, Research & Strategy.
Lizzi explores how China is implementing its new "constructive strategic stability framework” for partnership building and what it means for middle powers like Canada. The conversation also explores the outcomes of U.S. President Donald Trump’s summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in May, the two nations’ dramatically different approaches to negotiations, and what the meeting signals for the future of U.S.-China relations. Lastly, Lizzi and Vina unpack Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to Canada last month, the first in over a decade, and the necessary steps required for Canada to rebuild a secure, sustainable working relationship with China amid concerns over national and economic security and democratic values.
