Why not S.Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan. What's the fixation with China?

    Literally the 2nd paragraph. Clicking the link helps.

    Eby said this trip, among others to Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, is part of a provincial goal to double international trade in the next decade.

    Also the federal government has been cooking up trade deals with basically all of those and more. I believe we also have a potential upcoming agreement with the South American Mercosur bloc.

    Just because the article mentions China doesn't mean that they are our exclusive trade partner.
