With Canada’s new Indo-Pacific strategy set to be released next month, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly is warning businesses against deepening ties with China, saying there are “geopolitical risks” involved.

“What I would like to say to Canadians doing business in and with China—you need to be clear-eyed,” Joly said during a speech at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy in Toronto, on Nov. 9.
