Eby says he will sell B.C. as ‘stable jurisdiction’ during trade trip to China
British Columbia aims to expand trade in agriculture and energy with China, its second-largest export market at 15.6% in 2024, officials said.
- The Canadian Press reported March 20, 2026 that a trade delegation led by the Premier of British Columbia will visit China this year.
- Eby says the mission will deliver the same message as his trip to India earlier this year that B.C. is a 'stable jurisdiction in a very unstable time' and aims to drum up business amid renewed diplomatic engagement.
- Recently, the last provincial trip to China by B.C. Premier John Horgan was in 2018, during a period of increasing diplomatic engagement. Eby’s trip aims to deepen trade amid ongoing thawing ties.
- The province acknowledged reservations about the ferry decision, noting BC Ferries hired a Chinese state-owned shipyard and received a $1 billion loan from the Canada Infrastructure Bank, which drew criticism.
- Positioning B.C. for agriculture and energy exports could benefit from China as the second-largest export market for B.C. in 2024, alongside Japan, South Korea, and India.
