Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is scrambling to walk back his China pivot after President Donald Trump threatened to hammer Canada with massive tariffs if Ottawa turns itself into a trade conduit for Beijing.

Carney now insists Canada has “no intention” of pursuing a free trade deal with the Chinese Communist Party.

It comes just days after President Trump warned that any such move would trigger a 100% tariff on Canadian exports entering the United States.

The sudden reversal follows a series of events that exposed Canada’s quiet but aggressive realignment toward Beijing.

For most of its history, the United States has been blessed by geography. Since the country’s founding nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, both Europe and Asia have often been beset by war and upheaval. America was fortunate to have oceans between them while also having neighbors, Canada and Mexico, who were weaker and incapable of posing a serious threat. Mexico’s instability has posed problems of its own, but the U.S. could always count on Canada. Until now.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has embraced China, America’s foremost geopolitical adversary. And he’s done so with undisguised relish.

DAVOS Marks Official Death of Post-War Order

President Donald Trump came to Davos and delivered the news that the global order was dead. While much hand wringing conspired amongst Europe’s elites, and America’s Democrats (including Gavin Newsome), at the end of the day all had to acknowledge the reality of power. If America says the global order is dead, it’s dead.

Trump let the Western Hemisphere know, “The USA is the economic engine of the planet, and when America booms, the entire world booms. History shows that when America goes bad, the whole world goes bad. When we go down, you follow us down. When we go up, you follow us up.

NATO Secretary General Warns China’s Investments Come With Strategic Strings Attached – dailycaller.com

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte warned Wednesday that Western leaders must not grow complacent about China’s intentions, even as some U.S. allies deepen economic and diplomatic ties with Beijing.

China has been steadily expanding its influence across NATO countries. Rutte pushed back on “Special Report with Bret Baier” against suggestions that Western leaders are rethinking their approach to China, while warning about Beijing’s long-term military ambitions.

“It’s not up to me to comment on what any allies are doing in terms of their relationship with China. I think collectively as NATO, we have a position,” Rutte told Bret Baier when the host asked about a change in the way leaders deal with China. “The position is that we should not be naive. I can tell you, Bret, these huge investments the Chinese are making in the military are not there to organize parades in Beijing.”

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.

Breitbart News senior contributor and author of The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon Peter Schweizer talked about China on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday.

Schweizer said, “They have effectively bought off large portions of America’s elites … the problem is that these elites are either overlooking or ignoring the central fact of the U.S.-China relationship which is, China’s goal … is not about getting a better deal or maybe capturing a larger share of the market. Sure they want that, and they want the political leverage over the United States. What they really are engaging in is civilizational warfare.”

Vice Premier and Xi Favorite Loses His Effective Authority

pgnewser January 20, 2026 0

Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, a favorite of Chairman Xi, is finding his whole area of authority, education, facing “rectification” (correction) in 2026. Ding himself is facing an investigation as well. What remains unclear is whether this effective removal is the work of Xi or the party finding a way to continue to box him in. After the fourth plenary, the purges in the military have continued, with generals just recently purged again, indicating the situation is still fluid behind the scenes.

A communiqué issued at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the Chinese Communist Party’s top anti-corruption and internal disciplinary body, has revealed that China’s entire education system, overseen by Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, has been placed on the list of “key rectification targets” for 2026.

The campaign marks a significant escalation, expanding beyond universities to encompass all levels of education, and coincides with a growing wave of investigations into senior education officials nationwide….

According to state mouthpiece Xinhua News, the CCDI communiqué released on Jan. 14 removed earlier special campaigns targeting the pharmaceutical industry and higher education from the 2026 agenda. In their place, two new focus areas were added: “education” and “academic societies and associations.”

BEIJING — Faced with new global challenges, the leaders of China and Canada pledged Friday to improve relations between their two nations after years of acrimony.

Xi Jinping told visiting Prime Minister Mark Carney that he is willing to continue working to improve ties, noting that talks have been underway on restoring and restarting cooperation since the two held an initial meeting in October on the sidelines of a regional economic conference in South Korea.

“It can be said that our meeting last year opened a new chapter in turning China–Canada relations toward improvement,” China’s top leader said.

Carney, the first Canadian prime minister to visit China in eight years, said better relations would help improve a global governance system that he described as “under great strain.”

He called for a new relationship “adapted to new global realities” and cooperation in agriculture, energy and finance.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested on a recent trip that it is easier for his nation to deal with Communist China than to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.

Carney made the comments this past Friday to reporters while in China, where he was in talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing after being asked to share his thoughts on the relationship between Washington and China.

He responded, “With the U.S., our relationship, this is no insight, is much more multifaceted, much deeper, much broader, than it is with China.”
