Relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC) will be the single biggest Canadian foreign policy challenge for the foreseeable future. The trajectory of bilateral relations will be shaped, above all, by US–PRC strategic competition. Canadian views on the PRC are defined by a litany of problems in the current relationship, with relatively little reflection on the broader and longer-term problématique. This article, adapted from a November 2020 speech to the Canada–China Friendship Society of Ottawa, proposes a reconceptualization of the PRC as Canada's "global neighbour." On virtually all the issues that matter to Canada, the PRC is in our neighbourhood, and we are in the PRC's, whether we like it or not. The article offers five principles for the conduct of relations with Beijing—emphasizing the importance of independence in Canadian foreign policy in the context of a Sino–US great power conflict that is likely to persist for decades.

Will foreign policy think tanks face the same fate as so many "old media" organizations? The average Canadian has better access to global news and analysis today through a handheld device than the expert analyst of 30 years ago working from published sources at a foreign policy think tank. Furthermore, the increasingly blurred boundaries between domestic and international issues have made the distinction between foreign policy and domestic policy less clear. Canadian foreign policy think tanks have to respond to these challenges, as well as to the broader problem of parochialism in Canadian society.

Under the leadership of new Prime Minister Paul Martin, Canada needs to regard the possibility of Asia's reemergence as a weighty & imperative proposition, & should react with policy measures appropriate to the vast scope of the coming political & economic changes. Particular issues emanating from Asia's reemergence that will be crucial to Canadian foreign policy in the next decade are examined, issues that were raised in a group of papers by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada for the Canadian Dialogue on Foreign Policy. A major implication of the Asia reemergence thesis is that change will be vast in scope & ramifications, & that the foreign policy response must likewise be substantial. Political & economic developments are described in the People's Republic of China, Japan, India, & region-wide, along with the foreign policy implications for Canada. Also considered for their effects on Canadian foreign policy are the post-September 11 (2001) security situation in Southeast Asia & the "war on terrorism," & the impact of Asian immigration & "Asianization" on Canada both demographically & politically.
