China negotiates with all countries as equals: equals in dignity, equals in intellect. For the united states, this is upsetting, because they expect deference and recognition of their superiority, but you can see China hold this same mindset even when negotiating with countries much poorer and less powerful than them, like Uganda or Canada; The best American diplomats have been able to grasp this fact, and have productive negotiations.

Trudeau is not an equal to Xi. Trudeau is not head of state and they broke their rules to have Xi meet with him in the first place.

Hadn't heard that China's reciprocity doesn't discriminate between presidential and parliamentary systems... tbh, I'm not sure what purpose it would serve is Xi met with the Governor General instead
