Five topics other than trade that could come up during Carney’s China visit

Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Beijing this week for talks with President Xi Jinping, asserting he is ready to build a new partnership, as he meets officials.
Carney has promoted `purpose-built alliances` to cut through UN and WTO gridlock, while Ottawa pushes to preserve the rules-based order and urges reforms amid China's calls for fewer probes and a bigger South China Sea role.
Following the early-2025 executions of four Canadians, Canada has intensified a campaign against arbitrary detentions and will press Beijing for consular access under the 1999 consular access agreement.
Carney last month said there are `guardrails` on AI, critical minerals and defence where Canada seeks cooperation with the EU, London and limited Washington engagement.
Carney's comments portray China as a potential climate partner despite bilateral frictions, noting last September China is `very sincere and engaged` and environmentalists have criticized his fossil-fuel export focus.
