Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Thursday exploratory talks on free trade will begin between Canada and China — with the goal of doubling trade between the two countries by 2025 — but a proposed extradition treaty is continuing to raise human rights concerns.

Among the bilateral agreements on economic issues signed today was a four-year deal allowing for Canadian canola to continue to be exported to China, a trade worth $2 billion, and the resumption of Chinese imports of bone-in beef from Canadian cattle over 30 months of age.

Trudeau touted Canada and China's "renewed" relationship, which would allow for "honest, regular engagement" on issues that were important and perhaps the source of disagreement between the two countries.

The proposed extradition treaty is raising concerns over the lack of due process in the Chinese justice system and the country's use of the death penalty and other forms of corporal punishment.

Premier Li told reporters China's continued use of capital punishment is "consistent with our national conditions" and that torture is against the law and all cases are investigated.

"If we abolish the death penalty, more innocent people will probably lose their lives."

However, he said he "cannot promise" every prisoner in China is treated humanely, without torture, because China is such a large country. Li said there must be "consensus" between the two countries about repatriating people accused of crimes.

Trudeau said China and Canada had been talking about extradition and capital punishment for years and now have a formal forum to air these issues.

"We recognize that Canada and China have different systems of law and order and different approaches. And, it will be very important that any future agreement be based on reflecting the realities, the principles, the values that our citizens hold dear in each of our countries."

Trudeau told reporters at a news conference in Ottawa on Wednesday that Canada would have a "very, very rigorous process" to ensure that co-operating with China on the return of wanted fugitives didn't result in human rights abuses that don't comply with Canadian law.

Canadian Kevin Garatt, who was detained by the Chinese and charged with spying and stealing state secrets last January, was returned to Vancouver last week after being convicted, released on bail and deported.

His release coincided with the announcement that talks had started on an extradition treaty.

Doubling Canada-China trade by 2025
Trudeau said Canada and China have agreed to searching for a "science-based" solution the the dispute over Canada's $2 billion trade in canola, which has seen the Chinese allege Canadian shipments are of inferior quality. Canada denies its crop, 42 per cent of which is shipped to the country, fails to meet adequate food safety standards.

The Chinese are suspected of wanting to put pressure on producers in the face of a worldwide surplus of the crop.

In the meantime, Canadian canola will continue to be exported to China until 2025, according to the prime minister.

China has agreed to resume importing bone-in beef from Canadian cattle under 30 months of age. China is one of the final few countries holding back from completely re-opening its market to Canadian beef imports following Canada's 2003 outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

These are some of the other bilateral agreements the two leaders announced, according to the Prime Minister's Office:
  • Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on joint research, training and seminars to address the challenges of China's aging population, including pension reform and the promotion of investment in the domestic senior care industry from global investors.
  • A commitment from Sinoenergy Corporation Ltd. to support operations of the Long Run Exploration Ltd. facility in Alberta, an intermediate oil and natural gas company focused on development and exploration in Western Canada, by the injection of an additional $500 million over the next two years.
  • SNC Lavalin and CANDU Energy signed an agreement in principle for a new joint venture with China National Nuclear Corporation and Shanghai Electric Group Company Ltd. to develop, market and build the Advanced Fuel CANDU Reactor AFCR. That would include design centres in both countries and allow contracts to build nuclear reactors around the world.
  • Iovate Health Sciences International, Inc. of Oakville and Xiwang Food Stuffs Co. Ltd. signed a share purchase agreement worth $962 million.
The premier arrived in Ottawa with his wife, Cheng Hong, late Wednesday, following the United Nations General Assembly in New York. It's the first official visit of a Chinese premier in 13 years.

The couple socialized with Trudeau and his wife Sophie on Wednesday evening at the prime minister's country residence at Harrington Lake.
The Trudeaus were in China last month, for an official visit of their own ahead of the G20 Summit in Hangzhou.

Trade to resume for bone-in beef from cattle under 30 months of age after BSE-related ban

Two of Canada's biggest agricultural trade irritants with China have gone away.

A deal reached in Ottawa today means Canadian canola exports will continue through 2020 while both sides conduct research to resolve a shipment quality dispute, while exports of bone-in beef from Canadian cattle under 30 months of age will resume following a BSE-related ban.

The canola compromise came at the last minute during talks between Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Parliament Hill Thursday.

Li, who is on a four-day official visit to Canada following the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, arrived late Wednesday. Intense negotiations went on overnight between Canadian officials and Zhi Shuping, the Chinese minister responsible for the canola file who's also in Ottawa for the visit.

Fearing a disease outbreak, the Chinese have been questioning the quality of Canada's canola shipments and threatening to impose restrictions or cut access to a market that was worth roughly $2.6 billion for Canadian canola producers in 2015.

In this compromise, both sides agreed to conduct additional scientific research to find a "science-based and stable solution," the prime minister said.

"This is great news," Trudeau said. "Our progress on this file goes to show how two countries can collaborate, can solve difficult challenges together."

A worldwide surplus of the crop allows China to put pressure on its international suppliers.

The size and growth of the largest Asian market, where cooking oil like that derived from canola is in high demand, made resolving this dispute essential.

Canada is the world's largest canola exporter. Over 40 per cent is exported to China.

The dispute was a priority for International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland during Trudeau's trip to China last month.

Talks continued over the past three weeks on a near daily basis. Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay is planning a trip to China in November.

Under the agreement, trade will continue under current terms while additional research is conducted to determine whether there's a legitimate link between the level of dockage — stems, leaves or chaff that might be found in a grain shipment — and the risk of disease transmission.

Changing the level of allowable dockage in shipments would have added a significant cost for the industry without meaningfully lowering disease risk, the Canadians argued. The two sides have been grappling over this since 2009.

"If we hadn't been able to come to an agreement, other exporters would have gotten into that market and we would have lost significant share, but it wouldn't have been easy for China to replace what we send to them," said Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada.

Until the prime minister and ministers intervened, "we really were at a stalemate over the last couple of years," she said. "We were stuck. I think their engagement in the negotiations, in raising the profile of it, really helped move things along."

Final major BSE holdout

The beef deal — to resume trade in bone-in beef cuts from cattle under 30 months of age — was among several bilateral agreements signed Thursday on a range of issues.

China is among the final few countries that haven't completely reopened their markets following Canada's 2003 outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

Trade in the lowest-risk products — boneless beef from young cattle — resumed in 2010. Thursday's deal adds bone-in beef, worth potentially $10 million in new exports, to start.

China's large market will remain closed, however, to Canadian beef from cattle over 30 months of age. This restriction is considered less commercially meaningful, because good markets now exist for this in North America.

In a dispute unrelated to BSE, Canada has also not seen eye-to-eye with China on importing fresh (chilled) beef, not just frozen. Now that Air China has added a flight to Edmonton that could carry cargo, Canada wants to start shipping fresh beef cuts too.

Asian markets hold valuable potential for Canadian beef exports not just because of their size and growing middle class: consumers there purchase different cuts from the steaks and hamburgers favoured by North Americans or Europeans.

Taiwan, another significant market, reopened to Canadian beef exports in July, mere days after the visit of Mexico's president to Ottawa yielded a deal to reopen that valuable North American market as of Oct. 1.

Indonesia continues to place restrictions on beef byproducts like bone meal, but most other countries who closed their borders over the issue have now reopened.

A few, like Australia, have restrictions not for scientific reasons but as a means of protecting domestic business — a symbolic ban with little commercial impact on Canada.

New markets drive optimism
After a long stretch of bad news — bad prices, bad weather and currency fluctuations — "we're really coming to the light at the end of the tunnel," said John Masswhol of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association.

"Our herd sizes haven't grown," he said. "Ultimately what we need is for producers to be confident that if they're going to expand their herds, that they want to know that the return on the investment is going to be there for them in the years ahead."

Export-oriented agricultural sectors need new Asian markets in order to expand.

Both sectors voiced support for Thursday's announcement of exploratory talks with China towards a free-trade agreement. Beef, for example, enters China at a 25 per cent tariff.

"China is the world's largest banquet, and we want Canada to be the caterer," said Brian Innes in a statement on behalf of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance.

And with the ratification of the Trans-Pacific Partnership on the ropes, Canada needs alternative strategies in Asia.

Australians already have a free-trade deal with Japan and "eat our lunch," Masswohl said.

  中国总理李克强于9月21日抵达加拿大首都渥太华,对加拿大开始正式访问(9月21-24日),这也是中国总理13年来首访枫叶之国。

20160922_14745813803168.jpg


  中国政府网的报道称,21日傍晚,李克强总理抵达加拿大两小时后,就在渥太华的夏列顿湖总理官邸(The Residence at Harrington Lake)出席加拿大总理特鲁多夫妇举行的家宴。餐前,两国总理夫妇在官邸门外的湖边小坐交谈。一顿三道菜的简单晚餐后,两国总理夫妇返回湖边,欣赏晚霞景色并继续交流。

话说,小土豆家的这俩娃,也真是挺会抢镜的。

20160922_14745818251170.gif


  不愧是网红总理,特鲁多在晚上8点半就发推特说,一个美丽的夜晚,回请中国总理李克强和夫人程虹女士,欢迎来到加拿大。

微博账号当然也不能落下。

20160922_14745821952540.jpg


就在20天前,李克强刚刚与特鲁多在北京会见。那一次,小特鲁多还送给李克强一枚铜制白求恩纪念章,这是1973年时,他父亲老特鲁多总理为访华准备的。一份相隔了43年的礼物,意味深长。

  据加拿大广播公司报道介绍,加拿大总理的这个湖畔乡间别墅位于离渥太华不远的加蒂诺公园 (Gatineau Park)内,是加拿大总理的乡间宅邸,为加拿大政府的领导人提供一个宁静的地方休息、思考,并用来进行非正式的会谈。夏列顿湖总理官邸被列为联邦遗产,不对公众开放。

  从照片中来看,家宴当晚双方都没有配翻译。

20160922_14745828984935.jpg


  这也难怪,公开资料显示,李克强夫人程虹的本职工作是首都经济贸易大学外语系英语教授,拥有博士学位,44岁获得正教授职称,长期从事教学及美国文学研究工作,被誉为“中国从事美国自然文学研究第一人”。

20160922_14745833063226.jpg


  据新京报报道,李克强被公认为是“英文最好的中国高层领导人之一”,曾多次在外交场合用英文交流。

20160922_14745833293179.jpg


据报道,生活中,专攻美国自然文学的程虹,会给他以专业指点,纠正他的发音。李克强与妻女团聚时,一家三口有时还会进行英语对话。和卡梅伦夫妇下午茶时,李克强和程虹还送给卡梅伦夫妇一辆中国产自行车和程虹的译著。这场活动,双方也都没有配翻译。

20160922_14745837176296.jpg


嗯,为国际范儿的李克强总理夫人程虹点赞。

20160922_14745812835601.jpg


今天上午,特鲁多在国会山为到访的李克强一行举行欢迎仪式,加军鸣19响礼炮。

20160922_14745838824588.jpg


  在加拿大与中国之间涉及农产品的两大贸易摩擦上,双方达成了部分解决方案:一是加拿大对中国的油菜籽出口可以继续维持到2020年,在此期间两方将对油菜籽质量的问题进行研究;二是对加拿大的带骨牛肉部分解禁。

  对于李克强就任总理后首次到访,加拿大各界表示高度期待。渥太华提前一天就在市中心街道挂出中加两国国旗,迎候中国总理。本地多家媒体也表示,中加总理一个月内实现互访显示出两国关系的深化。加拿大驻华大使表示,李总理此访“一定会取得圆满成功”。
