The survey was conducted by Angus Reid, included 3,487 participants (for a margin of error is +\/- 1.7% for the full sample), and it is the 10th such annual poll conducted by the foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"u21885-15\"><strong>The big story of Canada-Asia trade<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"u21885-18\">Let\u2019s start with the reality before we move on to opinion. Canada\u2019s trade with Asia has ramped up significantly in the last 10 years. Here\u2019s a look at Canada\u2019s top five export destinations, not including the US. (The US still dwarfs all other countries, accounting for 76 percent of all Canadian exports). Note that three of these top five countries are in Asia, and our exports to them are all increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Image_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Image_1-1.jpg 649w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Image_1-1-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If we look at the same numbers for BC, we get an even more dramatic story. All of our top five export destinations (excluding the US, which is still number one by a long shot) are Asian countries. The spectacular growth in trade with China means that this country now buys 20 percent of all BC\u2019s merchandise exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Image_2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Image_2-1.jpg 649w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Image_2-1-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And these numbers only reflect what\u2019s happening right now. The potential future opportunities of selling more goods to Asia (particularly energy products) is a whole other story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"u21893-5\"><strong>And yet Canadians are losing interest<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this reality, it seems that Canadians are becoming less and less interested in increasing economic ties with Asia. Here are a few excerpts from the Asia Pacific Foundation survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This first chart shows that Canadians are becoming less convinced that Asia is important to their prosperity, with 46 percent of Canadians agreeing to this statement, down from 61 percent in 2012. British Columbians, however, buck the Canadian trends, with about three quarters of people agreeing that they consider Asia important for prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"514\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87095\" style=\"width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_3.jpg 514w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_3-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Canadians have also become more convinced that the rising economic power of India and China poses a threat rather than an opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"514\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87097\" style=\"width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_4.jpg 514w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_4-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, there\u2019s been a dramatic decline in the proportion of Canadians who feel developing ties with Asia should be our country\u2019s top foreign policy priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"517\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87099\" style=\"width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_5.jpg 517w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_5-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"u21822-2\"><strong>What explains the declines?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of issues that appear to make Canadians nervous when it comes to building closer ties with Asia. Here\u2019s a snapshot of some of the big issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"514\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87100\" style=\"width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_6.jpg 514w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_6-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey shows that Canadians are concerned about competing against cheap Asian labour and against companies that rely on state support. Canadians still support trade and investment missions to Asia, although less so than before, and not if it includes incentives to Canadian businesses. Meanwhile, Asian investments in Canada are viewed with suspicion, with an even split between Canadians who think they\u2019d benefit from them and those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important finding from the survey is that not all Canadians are becoming less enthused about trade with Asia. It turns out that most of the declining attitudes are due to changing opinions among older Canadians. Attitudes of younger Canadians were relatively stable compared to past years\u2019 surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"509\" height=\"323\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87101\" style=\"width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_7.jpg 509w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/image_7-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"u21908-2\"><strong>What Canada can learn from BC<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While no one should panic over the results of a single survey, the findings here are troubling. Asia is clearly becoming an important part of Canada\u2019s economic development, and yet people are becoming less enthusiastic about partnerships across the Pacific. BC is an exception, however. We rely more heavily on Asia for our economic development and we seem to realize it. As trade with Asia becomes more important for the country as a whole, hopefully national attitudes will align more closely with those on the west coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they don&#8217;t, we could run into problems. As the survey authors note, \u201cCanadian hesitation to engage with Asia is likely to be costly.\u201d They suggest that these attitudes pose risks to Canada\u2019s economic growth and diversification and our ability to influence decisions in Asia.&nbsp; And so there is a compelling reason to keep talking about the exciting developing economies of Asia and what they mean for Canada\u2019s economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"u21908-11\"><em>Peter Severinson is the Research Director for Resource Works<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s quite a\u00a0contradiction.
