Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has raised eyebrows by openly praising Canada’s growing cooperation with Communist China and declaring that the partnership is helping shape a “new world order.”
Carney made the stunning remarks during a high-profile visit to Beijing this week, marking the first visit by a Canadian prime minister in nearly a decade and celebrating the two countries becoming so-called “strategic partners.”
“Mine is the first visit of a Canadian Prime Minister to China in nearly a decade,” Carney told senior Chinese Communist Party officials, including Xi Jinping.
“The world has changed much since that last visit.
“And I believe the progress that we have made and the partnership sets us up well for the New World Order.”
“It’s a partnership with new focus and greater depth and a sense of purpose, and I look forward to realizing its promise and building on it in the years to come,” he added.
