- On January 16, 2026, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People, Beijing, hailing a `new strategic partnership` to rebuild Canada–China relations.

- Carney said engagement and cooperation would be the foundation of the partnership, and Xi told Carney, `It can be said that our meeting last year opened a new chapter in turning China–Canada relations toward improvement.`
- Around 75 percent of Canadian goods are sold to the United States, while China purchased less than four percent of Canadian exports in 2024 as tariff talks continue.
- With both countries hit by U.S. tariffs, China is keen to cooperate with a Group of Seven nation and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney aims to double non‑U.S. exports by 2035.
