OTTAWA - In a significant diplomatic overture, China has proposed forming a partnership with Canada to counter what it terms as American 'bullying', according to statements made by Chinese Ambassador Wang Di in a recent interview [1][2][3][4].

Ambassador Wang, speaking to The Canadian Press, suggested that China and Canada could potentially rally other nations to prevent Washington from undermining global rules. 'We want to avoid the situation where humanity is brought back to a world of the law of the jungle again,' Wang stated through an embassy interpreter [4][5][6].

The Chinese diplomat emphasized the potential benefits of closer Sino-Canadian relations, asserting, 'China is Canada's opportunity, not Canada's threat' [4][5][6]. This statement comes amid ongoing tensions between China and Western nations, including Canada, over various economic and political issues.

Wang highlighted that China and Canada appear to be the only countries taking 'concrete and real countermeasures against the unjustified U.S. tariffs' imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump [4][5][6]. He commended Canada's stance, saying, 'We have taken notice that, faced with the U.S.'s unilateral bullying, Canada has not backed down. Instead, Canada is standing on the right side of history, on the right side of international fairness and justice' [7][8][9].

This proposal comes at a time of complex trilateral relations between China, Canada, and the United States. While the Chinese ambassador's comments suggest a potential shift in diplomatic dynamics, it's important to note that Canada has not yet publicly responded to this overture.

As global power dynamics continue to evolve, this proposal raises questions about the future of international alliances and the balance of power in North America and beyond. The Canadian government's response to this offer will be closely watched by international observers and could have significant implications for regional and global politics.
