China has been the subject of many a headline and many an opinion throughout the years. As our second largest trading partner, the relationship Canada has with China is, well, important. And as China has been increasing in its economic power on a global scale over the past decade, politicians, business leaders, and economists alike are asking: what is China's impact on Canadians? On this episode, we're joined by Canada's former Ambassador to China and renowned expert on Canada-China relations, David Mulroney, for a wide-ranging conversation about the rise and current state of play in China, the impact China has on Canadian prosperity, health, well-being, and security, and what the future of trade and diplomatic relations between these two countries looks like. ------------ About The Business Council of Alberta The Business Council of Alberta was founded on a simple idea: to make life better for all Albertans.

As revelations about China's interference continue, so do calls for a foreign agent registry. The U.S. and Australia have registries like this, where anyone acting on behalf of a foreign entity has to disclose it. But the idea has its detractors.David Mulroney, a former Canadian ambassador to China, has been advocating for a foreign agent registry for years. He explains how it might work in Canada, why it's controversial and how the registry could slow China's interference campaign in Canada.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

CSIS believes China interfered in Vancouver's 2022 municipal election, but Vancouver Mayor Ken Sims rejects “insinuations” made by the Globe and Mail. However, as new allegations of election interference come out, Canada's former ambassador to the People's Republic of China, David Mulroney, said that there was “abundant evidence” to support the existence of Beijing's long-term plan to influence Canadian politicians at all levels of government. Plus, former prime minister Stephen Harper will be a keynote speaker at the Canada Strong and Free Networking conference next week and will offer his thoughts on the challenges faced by the middle-class. And China's ambassador to Canada Cong Peiwu alleged in an op-ed on Wednesday that the actions of Chinese consulates involved in election interference claims were business as usual.

As Canadians we have long prided ourselves in our compassionate heart to help the less vulnerable around the world. This is reflected in the many charities and non-profit NGOs that have been started by Canadians to serve the poor and needy internationally. Traditionally, this heart has also been reflected in our federal government's foreign policy through international aid. In 2010 Prime Minister Stephen Harper, hosting the powerful G-10 summit in Muskoka, ON, called on international leaders to join Canada in contributing billions of dollars to funding maternal health overseas. The initiatives that came forward from this saved the lives of both women and children in many nations across the world. When elected in 2015 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repealed this funding and replaced it with what they called a new “Feminist Foreign Policy” which placed abortion at the forefront. Years later diplomats and activists are beginning to ask tough questions around whether or not Canada has actually been using money to essentially bully third world nations into adopting pro-choice practices that they do not agree with or want. At a time when our federal debt has been ballooning and there is such need right here in our long term care facilities, first nations reserves, among our vets and the like….every taxpayer dollar literally counts more than ever. It is right for Canadians to ask tough questions about where 650 million dollars of international funding has actually gone and whether it has actually helped. Here with me today to discuss the issue are two very distinguished guests. David Mulroney spent 32 years in the Canadian foreign service. He was the Ambassador for Canada to the People's Republic of China from 2009 to 2012. He joins me today along with internationally recognized author, filmmaker and human rights activist Obianuju Ekeocha.-----------------------------------------------------------Faytene.tv is a listener supported program.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, Kaiser and Jeremy chat with two former ambassadors to the PRC who served during the years marking the transition from the Hu/Wen administration to the rule of Xi Jinping: Jorge Guajardo of Mexico and David Mulroney of Canada. They discuss the significant challenges that they faced, the perceptible changes in China's diplomatic norms and practices during their tenures as ambassadors, and, finally, the benefits and drawbacks that their countries see from the Trump administration's more assertive posture toward China. Note: This show was recorded on December 20, 2018, five weeks before Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sacked Canada’s latest ambassador to China. What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast: 9:35: Ambassadors Guajardo and Mulroney speak about their experiences during their tenures in Beijing. Mulroney describes a change he noticed during his time as head of the Asia branch of Canada’s Foreign Ministry: “Dealing with the Chinese had become different. In the past, if there was a difficult decision or a tough negotiation, even if you came out on the short end, the Chinese would leave you something… That changed, and I saw it change on my visit as ambassador, where it was zero sum where they were going to walk away and leave you with nothing.” 25:26: Jeremy asks the two diplomats about the United States pressuring other countries to join the growing coalition that is pushing back against China on trade, and domestic discussions in their respective countries. Mulroney responds: “There’s a great fear of being seen to gang up on China, or to form a coalition against China. And that has, I think, precluded the possibility of really honest discussions of how we deal with China one on one. China has been remarkably successful in isolating countries, even big countries, like Britain and France. Canada has certainly felt that...” 29:47: Guajardo comments on changes in the U.S.-Mexico relationship and the effects this has on the relationship between the U.S. and China: “During all administrations prior to President Trump’s, there was sort of an unwritten rule with Mexico that Mexico would do all that was possible to block Huawei from building its telecommunications infrastructure. That changed with President Trump.” 37:45: How far should governments go in getting tough on China? Is there a red line, and if so, where is it? Mulroney explains: “Canada right now is dealing with the detention of a couple of Canadians, and an icy-cold relationship with China…a constellation of issues, Iran sanctions, the extradition treaty with the U.S., detention of citizens, but they all have something in common at the base…the suggestion that China has been a free rider in so many respects. We’ve come to this point before. We wring our hands and then China is given a pass. The one thing that President Trump has been getting right is that maybe we don’t give China a pass.” Recommendations: Jeremy: An essay by James Meek in the London Review of Books, “The Club and the Mob,” about the destruction of news media. Jorge: Travel to Mexico City! An affordable vacation spot with many direct flights, which will be fairly empty during the upcoming Easter holidays. David: The Duty of Delight: The Diaries of Dorothy Day, by none other than Dorothy Day. Kaiser: The comedy TV series Patriot, available on Amazon Prime Video.
This is the most strained Canadian-Chinese relations have been in years. How did we get here? David Mulroney, former ambassador to China, and James Moore, former Minister of Industry, join OPPO to shed some light on what's going on.
We begin the show this week with the federal provincial showdown at the First Minister's meeting in Montreal, what is dividing Ottawa from its provincial counterparts? Then we take a look at the RCMP arrest of a Chinese executive with Huawei, what does this mean for relations between China, Canada and the U.S.? Guests: Dominic LeBlanc, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister; Scott Moe, Saskatchewan Premier; David Mulroney, Canada' s former ambassador to China
"If we were doing something killing thousands of Chinese, we would hear from them loud and clear," says former Canadian ambassador to China, David Mulroney. He argues that Canada needs to pressure China to do more to stop the flow of fentanyl, and questions why PM Justin Trudeau didn't apply more diplomatic pressure at the G20 this week.
David Mulroney says doing business in China can be risky and that issue should be part of a comprehensive foreign policy strategy.
