Backstabbing the U.S.? Canada Signs $1,000 Million Ship Deal with China, Demands RMB Settlement!
背刺美国？加拿大与中国签署10亿美元船舶交易，要求人民币结算！
Among the many allies of the United States, Canada is undoubtedly one of the "most loyal". When the United States imposes sanctions on China, Canada always follows closely and does not hesitate to provoke a series of provocations against China.
在美国的众多盟友中，加拿大无疑是“最忠诚”之一。当美国对中国实施制裁时，加拿大始终紧随其后，毫不犹豫地对中国发起一系列挑衅。
But surprisingly, this country that has always been anti-China has recently undergone a huge change in its attitude. It has thrown a $1 billion business order to China and assisted in combating the hegemony of the US dollar.
但令人惊讶的是，这个一直反华的国家最近在态度上发生了巨大转变。它向中国下了一个10亿美元的商业订单，并助力打击美元霸权。
In October 2024, Canada's Seaspan signed a striking shipbuilding contract with China Shipbuilding Corporation, involving 6 large container ships with a total amount of up to $1 billion.
2024年10月，加拿大西斯班公司与中国船舶重工集团公司签署了一份引人注目的造船合同，涉及6艘大型集装箱船，总金额高达10亿美元。
But the significance of this deal is not only the huge amount, but also that Seaspan expressed its hope to settle in RMB when signing the contract. Obviously, such a settlement method means that Chinese ship companies can effectively avoid the risks brought by foreign exchange fluctuations and improve profitability and market competitiveness.
但这笔交易的意义不仅在于金额巨大，还在于西斯班在签订合同时表示希望以人民币结算。显然，这种结算方式意味着中国造船企业可以有效规避汇率波动带来的风险，提高盈利能力和市场竞争力。
However, in the context of the United States being busy defending its dollar hegemony, Canada's move undoubtedly sent an unexpected signal to the Western world.
然而，在美国忙于捍卫美元霸权的背景下，加拿大的举动无疑向西方世界发出了一个意想不到的信号。
So why did Canada choose to order ships from China? What far-reaching purpose is hidden behind promoting the internationalization of the RMB?
那么，加拿大为什么选择从中国订购船舶呢？推动人民币国际化的背后，隐藏着什么深远的目的？

Canada is ho China will tone down the block on canola. Like the US, agriculture is a big export product and to lose their biggest customer is not good for the farmers and not good for the economy. Still the big stick in the pot is the tariffs on EV from China. Don't be surprised if Canada chooses the EU tariff rates and not the US rates.Canada needs exports, whether to the US or China, exports are a big sector for Canada.
加拿大希望中国缓和对油菜籽的封锁。像美国一样，农产品是一个重要的出口产品，失去他们最大的客户对农民和经济都不利。
然而，大棒是对中国电动汽车征收关税。如果加拿大选择欧盟的关税税率而不是美国的关税税率，也不要感到惊讶。
加拿大需要出口，无论是对美国还是对中国，出口是加拿大的一个重要部门。

China should demand 50% upfront payment upon signing of the contract and the balance upon completion because a phone call from President Trump 2.0, Canada will cancel the agreement at the drop of the hat. Canada is not betraying the US because China insisted on payment in RMB. Canada wants cheap and high quality products that will be delivered on time.
中国应该在签署合同时要求预付50%，完成后要求支付剩余款项，否则特朗普总统一打电话，加拿大就会立即取消协议。
加拿大并没有背叛美国，因为是中国坚持要用人民币结算。加拿大想要物美价廉的产品，而且要准时交货。

Why Canada have to order more expensive ships from countries other than China? To please the US? It's good that Canada came to their senses.
中国的船更便宜，为什么加拿大要从更贵的国家订购？就为了取悦美国？加拿大恢复理智是件好事。

China is the cheapest and the fastest shipbuilding in the world now. South Korea and Japan is ordering from China. US shipbuilding is zero except military ships but they can't do much with critical minerals and supply chain.
中国现在是世界上报价最便宜和交付速度最快的造船商。韩国和日本正在从中国订货。除了军舰，美国的造船业已经消亡，但他们在关键矿产和供应链方面做得不多。

作为加拿大人，我看到特鲁多已经蠢了这么长时间，看到他在没有美国提线的情况下行动，真是令人惊讶。

法国和意大利也应该考虑用人民币结算向中国出售白兰地和时尚产品。中国可以提这个要求。

I believe this a move by Canada to appease China for their increase in tariffs on Chinese EVs and ho China would reconsider their retaliatory tariff on Canadian canola.
加拿大对中国电动汽车加征关税，这么做是为了安抚中国，希望中国重新考虑是否对加拿大油菜籽征收报复性关税。

This tells me that Australian politicians are more loyal to US and get completely controlled by US, as to where and for what they spend their own money for.
That's strange even being in current multi-polar world.
这说明，澳大利亚政客对美国更忠诚，完全受美国控制，把自己的钱花在哪里，花在什么地方，都听美国的。即使在当今多极世界，这也很奇怪。
