Thanks for this story.  When I was in China I was surprised, pleasantly, by how positive people were to Canada and that was largely through being taught about Bethune in their schools.  Some propaganda no doubt as Bethune assisted the Communist military, but whatever.

Was startled by The Harper Government's hostile (but ultimately obsequious) approach.  
Much better to have Trudeau's friendly stance although, of course, caution is necessary too.
With America being led as it is, China is becoming ever more important on the world stage.
