Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney makes history this week as the first Canadian leader to visit China in eight years. Chinese state media outlets including Global Times and China Daily have welcomed the visit with unusually positive language, praising Carney's "strategic autonomy" and pragmatic leadership. With $118.7 billion in bilateral trade at stake and Saskatchewan farmers desperate for canola tariff relief, this visit represents more than diplomacy—it signals Canada's determination to reduce dangerous dependence on the United States. As Trump's unpredictability pushes traditional allies to reconsider their relationships, Beijing sees in Carney a serious leader capable of independent decision-making. This analysis examines why Chinese media views Carney differently than previous Western leaders.
