The US has become unreliable, but considering China as reliable is a grave mistake nevertheless. Beijing will engage in coercion as soon as it can (as it always does), and the propaganda machinery will then use Trump's move for vindication. The tankies here will tell everyone that China's coercion is justified because the US did it, too. Whataboutism as we know it.

Canada needs to expand trade with Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and other democratic countries.
