Canadian companies look toward China amid stabilizing ties

Canadian business groups say firms are moving from a "wait-and-see" approach toward more active positioning in the Chinese market. Bijan Ahmadi, executive director and COO of the Canada China Business Council, said there is clear positive momentum within the Canadian business community toward engagement with China. Zheng Xiaoling, president of the Canada International Trade Promotion Society, noted under the broader context of global supply chain restructuring, the complementarity between China and Canada will not change, which remains the most solid foundation for cooperation.
