中加關係「溶解」中：經貿先解凍，政治仍冷

近年來，中加關係長期低溫，互信不足、對話有限；但本週出現明顯鬆動——雙方以經貿交換打開「重置」窗口：加拿大同意以最惠國稅率方式，對一定數量中國電動車採取年度配額進口；同時，加方期待中方在2026 年 3 月 1 日前下調對加拿大油菜籽等產品的高關稅，並對部分農漁產品提供緩解。

然而，這種「溶解」更像是利益的重新排列，並不代表政治心結已解。美方已公開表達不滿與警告，顯示北美供應鏈與安全疑慮仍是壓力來源。接下來的關鍵在於：關稅調整能否如期落地、北美反應是否升級，以及加拿大國內對產業與安全風險的辯論會不會再讓關係回凍。

Canada–China Ties Are “Thawing”: Trade Moves First, Politics Still Cold

For years, Canada–China relations have sat in deep freeze—limited dialogue, low trust, and constant friction. This week, however, the ice shows clear cracks. The two sides appear to be reopening a “reset” window through pragmatic trade bargaining: Canada signals room for limited Chinese EV access under a quota-style approach, while expecting meaningful tariff relief from China on key Canadian exports such as canola and other agri-food and seafood products.

But a thaw is not the same as reconciliation. What is melting first is economic necessity, not political distrust. U.S. criticism and warnings underline a hard reality: North American security and supply-chain concerns still cast a long shadow over Ottawa’s choices. The next test is whether promised trade steps can actually be implemented—and whether external pressure and domestic debate in Canada will freeze the relationship again.
