China doesn¡¯t hold the solution for Canada¡¯s economic issues and isn¡¯t a trustworthy partner, Taiwan¡¯s top representative to Ottawa said following Prime Minister Mark Carney¡¯s tariff deal with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s high tariffs have pushed Canada to urgently try to diversify its U.S.-dominated export markets.
