Wilson Center's @CanadaInstitute director @DawsonCanada on China-Canada relations: "Much of China's relationship with Canada is romance." From Canadian perspective, a "romance and repel strategy," and characterizes Trudeau govt's views towards China as ambivalent

.@DawsonCanada finds "Canada does not have the market size to force concessions from China," and that it has has many common factors with US trade concerns with China, like a "marriage made in heaven."

KICUS/@LATAMProg Fellow @BCreutzfeldt : "[China-LatAM trade] is around $250 billion, but it was around the same as it was 5 years ago...pretty constant, and only about the same as EU-Latin America, and far less than with the United States. China's still not displacing the US"

On China's BRI deals, @BCreutzfeldt finds that LatAm countries "find little reason not to sign a MOU," but that "China's learning very well" through inter-American dialogue research, analyzing "shortcomings" in region, civil society groups pushing back against project expansions

.@wilsonCEF director Jennifer Turner on China-US environmental engagement: "Energy cooperation appears to be off the table for discussion" and working off precedents by "cooperative competition" in past dialogues

Turner on fishing activities by China: "[China's fishing fleets] doesn't always comply with international law," and is "major culprit of illegal fishing." Cites fuel subsidies/govt support as why fleets expanded so quickly to meet consumption and export needs @wilsonCEF
