There's nuance missing to this discussion. China abuses human rights, especially against the Uighur people. The stuff that's been reported lately is appalling. However, how do we go about addressing it? How do we get China to change? Will closer economic ties allow Canada to persuade China on their domestic affairs? Because that's the theory behind greater integration. Greater integration also benefits Canadian industries. So it's a lot more complicated than CHINA BAD, CUT ALL TIES. This is a massively complicated matter.

The way to address is to maximize our leverage with China.  That's the main key in any negotiation.  We need to form an strong economic alliance with other liberal democracies and act as one.  This is what OPEC does.  Canada alone vs China or UK vs China etc. doesn't stand a chance.  Even the US would benefit with a ton of other countries on their side to pressure them to follow the international law and international agreements.
