4.GDP Growth Rate In recent 10 years, Canadian average GDP Growth Rate was 2.85% which just follows America. Chinese average Growth Rate decreased from 13.5% in 1993 to 10.2%.in 1995. This is mainly because of its lower of consume demands. For this, Chinese Government took some economic method to promote consume demands such as increasing residents income level ,etc. In 1996, Chinese GDP Growth Rate got to 9.7%. From1997 , it decreased to 7%-- 8%. Compare with 1993, 1998’ GDP Growth Rate decreased by 5.6%. This falling tendency was mainly influenced by Asian Financial Crisis. To keep RMB avoiding depreciation also influenced it. When enter into new century, Chinese GDP Growth Rate keeps in good tendency. It kept at 8% or so. If the world political and economic environment keeps well , Chinese GDP Growth Rate will keeps at 7.8% level .

5.Unemployment Rate From 1998 to 2002, Canadian Average Unemployment Rate was 7.46%. The highest level was 8.3% in 1998 and the lowest level was 6.8% in 2000. It showed a stable and decreasing tendency. This is higher than that of China. From 1991 to 2001, Chinese Average Unemployment Rate was 2.9%. It showed a increasing tendency ,especially in 2001, it got to 3.6%. For China, the more population is its basic country situation. The situation that supply of labor force is more than its demand exists for a long time. Follow by the regulation of industry structure and the entry into WTO, this contradiction will be more obvious.

8 6.Canada - China Bilateral Relations

Canada and China established diplomatic relations in 1970. In 1999, the Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Co-operation Shi Guangsheng, visited Canada to sign the Canada-China agreement on China's joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) and to attend the Canada-China Business Council annual general meeting in Toronto. The Canada-China partnership encompasses trade and economic exchanges, human rights dialogue, defence relations, sustainable development, legal cooperation and cultural and academic exchanges. As China has become more involved in international efforts directed at strengthening global peace, Canada and China share more and more interest in global and regional peace and security as Pacific countries. Canada supports China's continued economic reform and transition to a market-based economy. Several programs sponsored by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Environment Canada, other federal departments, and the private sector support Chinese initiatives for better environmental laws and protection planning. Areas of co-operation include:

 Cleaner production.  Water conservation, pollution abatement, river basin management and flood control.  Natural resources management including sustainable agriculture and forestry.  Hazardous and solid waste management.  Application of the Montreal Protocol to lessen ozone depletion.  Nature reserves and biodiversity.  Energy conservation and efficiency.

7.Economy and Trade

China is our third-largest trading partner. Over 400 Canadian firms have a permanent presence in China. Leading examples of Canadian firms marketing Canadian products in one of the fastest growing markets in the world and employing significant number of local Chinese are: Ports International (fashion and clothing), Nortel Networks (telecom), and Manulife (life insurance).

In December 2001, China formally joined the WTO. The PRC is now obliged by the WTO to cut import tariffs and give foreign businesses much greater access to potentially lucrative markets in such industries as insurance, banking and telecommunications that used to be highly protected

9 Since 1961, when Canada made its first wheat sale to China, and particularly after 1978, when China launched its reform program, trade relations between the two countries have grown and expanded. Canada's trade with China is diverse, representing a broad cross- section of Canada's economy, from resources and agriculture to software and biotechnology. Over 400 Canadian companies now have a permanent presence in China, more than double the number of six years ago.

China (not including Hong Kong) is Canada's fourth largest trading partner and fourth largest export market, after the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom. China and Hong Kong combined represent Canada's third largest trading partners.

8.Highlights of Canada-China Trade

In 2001, China becomes our third-largest trading partner. The total trade volume is expecting n continuous growth in 2002. Although the world economy is slow down, the trade volume is expanding in its fast pace. The total export to china has reached 4,235 millions in 2001.

13.FDI in China and Canada

Although china is becoming third trade partner of Canada, no official data is given on FDI for both countries. China attracted a record of US$52.7 billion in foreign direct investment in 2002 as more foreign businesses tapped its potentially vast market. The first month of 2003 saw a year-on-year rise of 48.19 percent in the overseas funds used in China, according to statistics china. Canada gets CND $42.8 billion in 2001. U.S.A is the biggest investor on both countries.

14.Conclusion

Although the world economy is slow down in recent years, the trade volume between China and Canada is continuous growth. In 2001, Canada has a notable gains in china markets. With china formally joining WTO, more and more Canada companies will share huge markets of china, and China –Canada trade will step on a high position.
