      Literally the 2nd paragraph. Clicking the link helps.

      Eby said this trip, among others to Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, is part of a provincial goal to double international trade in the next decade.

      Also the federal government has been cooking up trade deals with basically all of those and more. I believe we also have a potential upcoming agreement with the South American Mercosur bloc.

      Just because the article mentions China doesn’t mean that they are our exclusive trade partner.

        All states have huge and rising trade deficits with China (the few exceptions are low-income countries from which China imports commodities). If Canada wants reliable and stable ties with mutual benefits, China is unfortunately the wrong partner.
