加中關係3個C
問:如果你的政黨再次當選,中加關係會怎樣?
答:我們要明白中國是一個持續發展的大國,大家不能假裝它不存在。
在某些領域,我們必須與中國合作(cooperate): 例如應對氣候變化,每個人都需參與其中。
在某些領域,我們必須與中國競爭(compete):如經濟、投資、發展方面,我們實際上會這樣做。
在某些領域,我們必須質疑(challenge)中國:如人權、隨意拘留;確保他們盡快將康明凱與斯帕弗送回家仍是我們的首要任務。
我們應繼續在香港、南海、保護維吾爾人等議題上繼續發聲。無論中國政府如何認為我們無權發言,我們將繼續大聲而有力的發聲。國際社會和加拿大在這方面發揮顯著作用,我們將繼續明確表態。
Q: What will Sino-Canadian relationship be like if your party gets re-elected?
A: We will continue to understand that China is a growing power in the world, and you can't pretend it is not there. There are some areas that we are going to cooperate with China – fight with climate change for example, where everyone has to be part of it.
There are areas in which we are going to compete with China: on economics, on investment, on growth – we will actually do that.
But there are areas where we have to challenge China, on human rights, on arbitrary detention, making sure they are sending the Michaels home as soon as possible remains one of our top priorities.
We are going to be able to stand up against Hong Kong, on the South China Sea, on the protection of the Uyghurs. We will continue to speak loudly and strongly no matter how much the Chinese government tells us that we shouldn't have an opinion on that. The international community and Canada have a strong part of it, and we will continue to be very clear.
