We stand ready to support federal and provincial governments in their efforts to resolve existing trade barriers\u2014particularly the removal of Chinese counter-tariffs on Canadian agricultural and seafood products\u2014and to expand market access and create new opportunities for Canadian businesses.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">For nearly five decades, CCBC has worked to promote prosperity for Canadians by facilitating two-way trade and investment with China. Today, Canadian exports to China support hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country. The current moment calls for pragmatic action to ensure that Canadian companies can succeed in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">In recent months, CCBC has led a cross-country consultation process with our members, partners, and industry stakeholders to shape a forward-looking approach to Canada-China business relations. Through these dialogues, we have identified four\u00a0recommendations for government consideration:<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<ul data-editing-info=\"{&quot;applyListStyleFromLevel&quot;:false,&quot;unorderedStyleType&quot;:2}\">\n<li>\n<div>Reinstate high-level government-to-government economic and trade dialogues to address Canadian business concerns.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Recalibrate Canada\u2019s China policy within the Indo-Pacific Strategy, ensuring a pragmatic approach.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Develop a nuanced investment policy that attracts beneficial Chinese investments while safeguarding Canada\u2019s national interests.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Facilitate and invest in Canadian exporters\u2019 business development efforts in China.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">As Canada advances major economic initiatives and infrastructure investments\u2014including enhanced trade corridors and expanded export capacity\u2014China remains a vital market for Canadian agri-food, energy, natural resources, education, financial services, manufacturing, and other key sectors.\u00a0Meaningful engagement with China will be essential to the success of any national trade diversification strategy.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">CCBC remains committed to working with all levels of government, and with our nearly 300 member companies, to ensure that Canadian businesses have the tools and support necessary to grow, compete, and thrive in one of the world\u2019s most dynamic markets.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><i>For any questions and inquiries, please contact us at coordinator@ccbc.com<\/i><\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Canada China Business Coun [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1686,"featured_media":81394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ccbc-update"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1686"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81391"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81405,"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81391\/revisions\/81405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccbc.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
