Justin Trudeau Is Taking His Boxing Gloves To The Marvel Universe

As part of his time in Shanghai, Trudeau has attended a banquet hosted by the Canada-China Business Council.

Officials have said they need to take into account Canadians’ hesitation about closer links with China.

Ottawa also said it would open seven additional visa application centres in China to help serve a growing number of Chinese tourists who would like to visit Canada.

China is the biggest foreign consumer of Canadian canola, which is usually refined into an edible oil, but Li said Chinese canola producers and consumers were anxious about imported canola carrying disease.

The two leaders also agreed to extend a September 1 deadline that China had imposed on Canada to tighten its screening of canola exports.

“They now have a permanent e-home on the world’s biggest online shopping site-Alibaba-and with it, the ability to reach over 400 million Chinese consumers”, Trudeau said of the Canadian Pavilion in the release.

The deals signed on Thursday involve companies in sectors from seafood to clean technologies, the trade minister said ahead of a speech by Trudeau.

The move was confirmed by the Canadian Ambassador to China, Guy-Saint Jacques. Chinese tourist travel to Canada rose 24 per cent in the first six months of this year, said Saint-Jacques. He noted that now only Americans and Brits visit Canada more than the Chinese.

Also Wednesday, Canada and China signed a memorandum of understanding on a film co-production treaty; agreed to a program of co-operation from 2017 through 2019 under the Canada-China cultural agreement; and agreed to a statement of co-operation between Parks Canada and China’s National Development and Reform Commission on the establishment, conservation and management of national parks systems.

The portion of the wall they visited had been temporarily closed to the public – providing them with a peaceful section to stroll, away from the usual hordes of visitors.

Earlier this week China and Canada agreed to an extension on the contentious canola file.

Canada announced in Beijing last week that it would apply to join the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
