How do we interpret the changing landscape in international politics with a rising China in the background? What do we understand about China as a complex bilateral and multilateral partner?
Moving Forward: 45 Years of Canada-China Relations is a policy report with analytical depth on broader issues as well as investigating specific issues, embodying a new approach that is more focused, strategic but cautious enough to consider the inevitable associated challenges between Canada-China relations. This launch event includes presentations by the authors, and discussions promising an intellectual but frank insight on Canada-China relations, including health cooperation, bilateral investments, youth and people-to-people engagements, and geopolitical disputes.
