I don't think we should embrace China.  We need to remain cautious and avoid dependence, for both economic and moral reasons.  Just read Madeleine Thien's excellent book set in China, "Do not say we have nothing."  A novel, but an eye-opener; Giller prize well-deserved.

Now, Norway, that's a country Canada should embrace!

Canada should try to use its diplomacy to encourage European nations to tack back away from isolationism and xenophobia.  Of the various trade deals under discussion, I'm much happier with CETA proceeding, than TPP.  How about we just coast with that one for now.
