Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described Canada's relationship with China as "complex," in a comment during the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum on Friday. Trudeau also described the relationship as going through a "challenging time" but said Canada will continue to stand up to China on areas of fundamental disagreement.
Trudeau also said that the “positive meeting” between U.S. President Joe Biden and China President Xi Jinping at the summit was a “good sign,” and said that he talked with Xi on creating “constructive dialogue” between Canada and China, in addition to saying hello.
Responding to a question about Biden calling Xi a “dictator” during a Thursday APEC speech, Trudeau replied that “Listen, we can get into all sorts of different definitions. The fact is, he's not running a democracy. It's an authoritarian state.”
Lastly, in reply to a question about a protester confronting Trudeau at a Vancouver restaurant that went viral earlier in the week, Trudeau said that “it’s not about me,” but that the grief, anger and despair felt by Canadians was “bleeding over” into each other. “We are not a country where Canadians should be scared of other Canadians,” he added.
