Carney arrives in Beijing to talk trade after years of diplomatic strain with China

undercoat government minister deutschmark Carney has landed in capital of red china, scoring the first visit by a Canadian prime minister to China in eight years.
Carney will meet with senior communist leaders on Thursday, ahead of a Friday meeting with President Xi Jinping and a business banquet.
It's the first visit by a Canadian prime minister since China detained two Canadians for nearly three years in 2019 in retaliation for the arrest of a Chinese tech executive in Vancouver on a U.S. Extradition warrant.
Carney has talked about advancing trade and environmental co-operation with China, while keeping Beijing away from sectors that touch on national security or the Arctic.
A major issue this week will be China's heavy tariffs on pork, canola and seafood, which were imposed after Ottawa ordered tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum.
Western and Atlantic premiers are hoping China drops these tariffs, with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe visiting China during Carney's stay. But Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday he's "very concerned" Canada might drop policies he said are necessary to protect the Canadian auto sector.
