On March 25, 2025, Chinese Ambassador to Canada Wang Di published a byline article titled "China–Canada Cooperation Delivers Mutual Benefits to the Two Peoples" on the Hill Times. The full text is as follows:

Not long ago, Prime Minister Mark Carney paid a successful visit to China. The leaders of the two countries agreed to forge a new China-Canada strategic partnership, bringing bilateral relations into a new era. Thanks to joint efforts of both sides, the past month or so has witnessed the fruition of various positive outcomes of Prime Minister Carney’s visit, which has been widely welcomed by the people of both countries.

On the economic and trade front, the Chinese side announced the final ruling of its anti-dumping investigation into canola seed imports from Canada, lowering the 75.8 percent deposit requirement to 5.9 percent anti-dumping duty. This has greatly improved market access for Canadian canola seed exports to China. The first batch of several thousand tonnes of canola exports from Canada to China has already been shipped. China also announced adjustments to its anti-discrimination measures against Canadian products. From March 1 to the end of this year, anti-discrimination tariffs on Canadian canola meal, peas, lobsters and crabs will be suspended. Additionally, China has allowed 20 Canadian beef slaughtering and processing companies to resume exports to China and approved Canadian pet food exports that meet quarantine and sanitary requirements.

At the same time, the Canadian government adjusted certain restrictive measures on China and formally implemented a quota for imports of Chinese electric vehicles. Starting from March 1, import permits will be issued for the first 24,500 Chinese electric vehicles, meaning Canadian consumers will be able to purchase high-quality and affordable Chinese EVs in the near future.

With respect to cultural and people-to-people exchanges, China has taken further steps to facilitate travel between the two countries. Following the resumption of group tours of Chinese citizens to Canada late last year, China has decided to implement a unilateral visa-free policy for the Canadian people from February 17 until the end of this year. Canadian ordinary passport holders now may enter China visa-free for up to 30 days for business, tourism, family visits, exchanges or transit. This policy has been warmly welcomed across Canadian society. The two sides also reached consensus on resuming mechanisms such as the China–Canada Joint Committee on Culture and the China–Canada Cultural Dialogue within the year. And the ninth session of the China–Canada Track II Dialogue will be held in China this April.

During this Chinese New Year, Chinese communities across Canada joined local communities for celebrations in an exciting and festive atmosphere. The National Peking Opera Company of China presented its “Happy Chinese New Year” performances in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, which played to full houses and were loved by local audiences. Mayor of Edmonton Andrew Knack led a delegation to participate in the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival in China, while ice sculptors from Harbin created numerous exquisite ice sculptures featuring Chinese cultural elements in Calgary. This represents another chapter of friendly exchanges between the two countries in winter culture.

The essence of these exchanges and cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, and the ultimate beneficiaries are the people of both countries. Recent polls by Canadian polling organizations such as Angus Reid Institute and Nanos Research show that the Canadian public favourability toward China continues to rise, with more than 60 percent of Canadians supporting cooperation with China. This fully demonstrates that developing relations and expanding cooperation between China and Canada serves the fundamental interests of both sides and meets the shared expectations of the two peoples.

Looking ahead, China stands ready to work with Canada and deliver on the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, resume and strengthen exchanges and cooperation across all fields, and translate the Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap, as well as the preliminary joint arrangements on steel and aluminum products, electric vehicles and so on, into real results as soon as possible. We believe that more good news is to come, which will inject continuous momentum into China–Canada relations and bring more tangible benefits to the two peoples.
