Digital Kingdom Chaoting (Shanghai) Culture Media Co., Ltd., a Hollywood visual effects giant that has created Oscar-level visual legends such as "Titanic" and "Rejuvenation", settled in Jing'an District in October last year. Relying on precise empowerment of regional industrial policies
A very obvious change in Dong Xuan and Zhang Weiyi's post-marriage status recently is that the two began to appear together in the right places, no longer deliberately separated, and no longer regarded being in the same frame as something to be explained.
A few days ago, she went to his place to meet relatives. She stood directly in a family photo of 21 people. She hugged the younger one and supported the older one. She did not fight for her position or dodge her movements. This gave her enough face and made her relationship clear.
Then the camera turned to the meal on February 28, Yu Zheng’s birthday, and he posted the group photo just after midnight. The accompanying sentence did not go around, "Birthdays happen every year, but the people I love most are the most complete this year." This sentence set the tone of the scene. In the group photo, you can see people like Gu Li Nazha, Zhang Huiwen, Dong Xuan, Zhang Weiyi, and Zhao Qing. It looks like a party to outsiders, but it looks like a list to those in the circle.
As soon as the group photo came out, discussions started to follow: who sat in the middle, who stood in the front row, who was close to whom, who was next to whom. The popularity depended on these details. Some reports directly stated that Nazha occupied the C position in the photo, and Zhang Huiwen was also in the middle of the photo.
The fact that Dong Xuan and Zhang Weiyi appeared together was singled out for discussion. The reason is simple. Everyone has seen Dong Xuan appear alone a lot, so her appearance with Zhang Weiyi is new information.
Talking back to Dong Xuan's actions, when she took Zhang Weiyi to such a situation, it was easy for the outside world to translate it according to their own understanding. Some translated it as showing affection, some translated it as bringing her husband to the house, and some translated it as paving the way for her husband. These translations are not important.
What matters is the result. The result is that he is standing in that photo, in the same frame as a table of people, and his name is written out by the media one by one. This means that he has stepped out of Dong Xuan's life into a more public lens.
Yu Zheng was actually very good at taking this group photo. He didn't need to write too much. He just had to gather the people together, put out the group photo, and hang the phrase "the most complete" on it. The rest of the interpretation was left to the audience. The media also conveniently made this meal a hot topic. Who came and who didn't come, who was in the middle and who was on the side. Even the words "private party" can give it the flavor of a public event.
If you move the time forward a little further, you will understand Dong Xuan's rhythm better. She first completes the tasks at home, takes photos, meets the elders, does what she needs to do, and then releases the same frame at work.
This order is very realistic and more trouble-free. If the family recognizes it and the people in the circle see it, there will naturally be less speculation from the outside world. The rest depends on how the two people appear in the future, how many times they appear, and on what occasions.
Be it Nazha, Zhang Huiwen, or Zhao Qing, if these names appear in the same group photo, it will naturally trigger discussions. Some discussions focus on appearance, some discuss positioning, and some discuss resources. These are all regular functions of a group photo.
Yu Zheng's group photos with human hair are never just records. He knows very well what a photo can bring, who can be seen, who can be mentioned, and who can be tied to the same topic.
In the end, it comes back to Dong Xuan and Zhang Weiyi. The outside world will habitually look for drama when they are together after marriage, but many times the real drama is not in the words, but in the actions, such as when she went to take a photo with him.
For example, he followed her to the birthday party, and neither of them was in a hurry to explain. This lack of explanation was more like a settled state. There will continue to be photos and dinner parties. Whether he is still there in the next group photo is a stronger signal later.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal proposes to "promote the healthy development of flexible employment and new employment forms." Around the Spring Festival, Nanning City, Guangxi, led by the human resources and social security department and jointly implemented the "Spring Breeze Action" with multiple departments, carried out employment assistance and employment assistance, and launched a package of heart-warming employment measures such as providing jobs, training, warmth, and services, covering key groups such as returning migrant workers, unemployed people, flexible employment people, and people out of poverty, so as to provide good services for the masses to find a good job in the new year.
01
Housekeeping training delivered to your doorstep
True love warms people’s hearts
During the Spring Festival this year, Li Haiyuan, who lives in Nanning, Guangxi, received holiday condolences from the local social department, along with a special home cleaning service provided by a professional housekeeping company.
47-year-old Li Haiyuan has a family of three. After losing her job a few years ago, she found a job as a clothing shopping guide on the recommendation of the employment department. Her husband works odd jobs in the goods yard. Both of them are flexible employment personnel. Last year, their child was admitted to college, and Li Haiyuan was eager to find a more stable job.
Li Haiyuan, a citizen of Nanning City: I heard they said there was training in housekeeping skills, and I was very interested, so I came to learn. I hope I can learn it and see if I can find a suitable position.
The "door-to-door learning" Li Haiyuan mentioned is exactly the "free cleaning experience + precise job matching" employment promotion action launched this year by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Nanning, Guangxi. The action provides door-to-door housekeeping training services to 100 families with employment difficulties who are interested in engaging in domestic service. From various cleaning tools and the allocation and use of each dry and wet rag, to the standardized procedures, time allocation, cleaning techniques and specifications for household cleaning, volunteers from the housekeeping company demonstrated step by step during the service process, and patiently answered core questions such as income structure and working hours, so that people with employment difficulties who received the service not only had personal experience of housekeeping services, but also clarified their misunderstandings.
Wang Zhen, Chief of the Employment Section of the Nanning Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau in Guangxi: Ordinary citizens have misunderstandings about this industry. They think that the threshold is relatively low and the income may also be relatively low. In fact, Nanning's housekeeping industry can basically earn between 4,000 and 7,000 yuan a month. Taking orders is more flexible and the work is relatively stable, because there are orders basically every day. Housekeeping agencies can provide free training. After passing the training, he can directly take orders online and achieve employment nearby.
02
Visiting companies and positions
Build a bridge between employment and employment
During the Spring Festival, the Guangxi Human Resources and Social Security Department also seized the opportunity of migrant workers returning home in large numbers and launched a special service activity called "Employment Warming Gui Zai Action". It organized returning migrant workers and job seekers to visit the production workshops of key local enterprises. They also participated in policy consultations at the event site and learned about recruitment information of key enterprises, building a bridge between job seekers and recruiting companies.
In the Yongning Emerging Industrial Park in Nanning City, Guangxi, buses are full of 500 job seekers from nine counties and districts under the jurisdiction of Nanning City. Under the unified organization of the local social affairs department, we walked into the production workshop and experienced the company's working environment and production process up close.
Lai Sumei, a migrant worker from Guangdong: They are all modern. I never expected that we also have such automated operation positions in Nanning. If there is a suitable position in Nanning, I can stay and develop in Nanning. I don't have to travel so far and I am close to home.
According to reports, Guangxi is a traditional labor export province. In the past, a large number of migrant workers would return home from other places during the Spring Festival every year, and then leave home again after the festival. In recent years, the local area has targeted future industries such as artificial intelligence, green manufacturing, and low-altitude economy for layout, and has increased the recruitment of local talents. By providing attractive and competitive positions, it not only allows migrant workers to find employment at home, but also prepares talent reserves for the development of local enterprises. Organizing migrant workers and job seekers to visit companies is an empirical measure for Guangxi to promote accurate and efficient employment matching.
Wu Xinhua, Deputy Director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Nanning City, Guangxi: Our main goal is, first, to enable migrant workers and returnees to achieve higher-quality and more secure employment. On the other hand, we hope to ensure the employment of key enterprises, key parks and key industries, and also achieve the resonance of rural revitalization and industrial revitalization through such employment and industry docking.
This employment service activity kicked off the "sending workers to work" in Guangxi during the Year of the Horse. This year, Guangxi plans to carry out more than 5,000 special recruitment activities in the park and provide more than 100,000 migrant workers to enterprises in the park.
03
Multiple channels for job supply
Employment is at your doorstep
In addition to door-to-door job delivery and company visits, Nanning City, Guangxi also held more than 200 online and offline job fairs during the Spring Festival, especially focusing on launching a large number of local jobs to help migrant workers achieve "doorstep employment."
At an employment service station near a university town in Nanning City, a leading local catering company reached a recruitment intention with a job seeker.
In recent years, the human resources and social security department of Nanning, Guangxi has vigorously developed a "15-minute" employment service circle and built more than 30 employment service stations and gig markets across the city. Service station staff continue to discover job needs by proactively visiting companies. The service station can not only provide city-wide networked employment big data services, but also provide small-scale recruitment services to enterprises at any time, and organize special employment guidance, pre-job training and rights protection services for workers.
In addition to employment service stations and service halls throughout the main urban area, the local area also organizes a number of online and offline special job fairs. In particular, online recruitment activities are called "live broadcast promotion". Just like live broadcast delivery, company representatives enter the live broadcast room to introduce job information, work location, salary and benefits.
Liu Xin, director of the recruitment live broadcast: We want to give jobs to job seekers without leaving home. The live broadcast room has just launched and has already been viewed by 16,000 people.
This live broadcast carried out job recruitment for 7 high-quality local companies. The 2-hour live broadcast attracted a total of 42,100 online views, providing assistance to companies in the Year of the Horse to recruit new people and find workers.
The United States, Israel and the United Arab Emirates have not yet confirmed this statement.
A U.S. military transport aircraft unloads the THAAD system launcher (data map)
The UAE's missile defense network consists of a multi-layered defense system, including multiple US-made "THAAD" systems for high-altitude interception and the "Patriot" system for lower airspace.
"THAAD" is equipped with the X-band tracking radar AN/TPY-2, which can track small high-speed targets at long distances. The cost of a single interceptor in the system is US$12 million. It can destroy incoming missiles with kinetic energy collision at Mach 8 speed, which is equivalent to "hitting a bullet with a bullet."
On the evening of March 1, the "True Commitment 4" action notice released by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on its official channel stated that in the morning of that day, Iran launched the seventh and eighth waves of attacks on enemy targets by continuously launching missiles and launching drones on a large scale.
The notice stated that in this attack, the Ali Salem US military base in Kuwait "completely lost its combat capability", and three US maritime infrastructure at the Mohammed Ahmed base in Kuwait had been destroyed; the US military base in Port Salman, Bahrain, was attacked by four drones, and the command and logistics center was "seriously damaged."

What are the tactical characteristics of the US-Israeli raid on Iran? How does Iran fight back?
Lin Sen, staff writer for The Paper
According to Xinhua News Agency's report on March 1, Iranian media confirmed on the 1st that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. The Iranian government declared 40 days of national mourning. The Israeli Defense Minister stated on February 28 that Israel had launched an attack on Iran and declared a national state of emergency.
Israel stated that the first phase of its attack on Iran will last for four days, and that all leaders, including Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will be targeted. The Pentagon stated on the 28th that the United States named the air strike against Iran "Epic Fury." Israel has announced that its new campaign against Iran will be called "Roaring Lion," according to the Prime Minister's Office.
This time the United States and Israel jointly launched a raid on Iran, which was like detonating a blockbuster bomb in the Middle East. Iran's counterattack was faster and more powerful than before. So, what are the tactical characteristics of this joint US-Israeli air strike on Iran? What about Iran’s counterattack?
The United States used Tomahawk cruise missiles in the first round of strikes
US-Israeli air strikes adopt "old routines" but on a larger scale
According to senior Israeli defense officials, Israel's attack on Iran began at 8:10 a.m. local time. Unlike the previous Israeli sneak attacks on Iran and the US military's "Midnight Hammer" operation, which was carried out at night, this operation was carried out during the day. Considering that the first round of air strikes by the United States and Israel was a "decapitation operation," it is very likely that the United States and Israel obtained relevant information about the whereabouts of Iran's spiritual leader and President of Iran and took action in advance. Prior to this, high-level officials from Israel and the United States publicly stated that the goal of the joint U.S.-Israeli action was to get the Iranians to cooperate in overthrowing the current regime.
The United States and Israel have been preparing militarily for more than a month. Iran has sufficient preparation time. In order to avoid being assassinated, the whereabouts of Iran's senior political and military leaders are Iran's top secrets. They may change their residences multiple times in a day and may be in reinforced bunkers. They are "time-sensitive targets" for the United States and Israel. If it is determined to attack Iran, the strike time will be launched at any time based on intelligence.
U.S. Navy F-35Cs participate in strikes against Iran
However, the results of the operation were initially divided. The United States and Israel claimed that "Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an Israeli air strike on Iran that day," and Israel also claimed that "many Iranian military leaders were killed." The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Pezhichiyan were both "safe and sound." Iranian media confirmed on the 1st that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. The Iranian government declared 40 days of national mourning.
According to Israeli media reports, a total of about 30 targets in Iran were attacked after the war began, including the Iranian Presidential Palace and the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and National Security. The main purpose of the US military strike is to "eliminate the threat posed by the Iranian regime to the American people." According to the US president, this attack will destroy Iran's missile industry, eliminate the Iranian navy, and ensure that Iran cannot obtain nuclear weapons. U.S. officials said the attack was expected to be much larger than the U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities in June last year.
Basically consistent with outside speculation, if the United States and Israel go to war with Iran, air strikes will be the main method of combat. In the past month or so, the U.S. Navy and Air Force have assembled at least 280 tactical aircraft, more than 50 special aircraft and drones, and more than 100 aerial tankers. Bombers deployed in the United States can also participate in strikes at any time.
The U.S. Navy has assembled two aircraft carrier strike groups (one aircraft carrier and three escort destroyers), at least six deployed destroyers, three littoral combat ships and support ships. There are at least two attack nuclear submarines and one cruise missile nuclear submarine underwater. These ships are deployed in the Arabian Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean respectively. The combat style has not changed much: the first round of out-of-defense precision guided munitions + stealth fighter jets, combined with electronic warfare + network warfare, carried out large-scale attacks on Iran’s senior leaders and important military targets (command posts, radar stations, air defense missile systems, military ports, ballistic missile launch vehicles and storage bases), aiming to paralyze Iran’s command and control, air defense, anti-missile and strategic counterattack capabilities.
Iranian missile strikes US military base in Bahrain
If there is any change, it is that the US military has used improved Tomahawk missiles and suicide drones. The U.S. Central Command says it has used suicide drones to attack Iran. The U.S. Central Command announced in December last year that it had established the first suicide drone squadron in the Middle East, the "Task Force Scorpion Strike (TFSS)". This unit is equipped with LUCAS suicide drones, including low-end models and high-end models. The low-end model is equipped with a camera on the nose and is used for reconnaissance or suicide attacks, with a range of about 800 kilometers. The high-end model is equipped with a rotatable photoelectric turret on the head and a satellite communication antenna on the tail. It can carry a 50kg warhead and has the function of "inspection and attack", with a range of more than 1,500 kilometers. Because its appearance is very similar to the Iranian "Witness-136" suicide drone, it is called the American version of the "air scooter" by the outside world.
According to US media reports, US Defense Department officials revealed that in the initial stage of the operation, the US military carried out nearly 900 strikes, which came from land, sea, air and drones. At the same time, it defended against hundreds of Iranian missile attacks. Israel said it dispatched more than 200 aircraft and attacked 500 targets, which means that Iran was hit nearly 1,400 times in 12 hours, and the losses may be considerable.
Iranian drone locked on screen
Iran's counterattack speed and scale exceed last year's "12-Day War"
Iran's counterattack was faster than the "12-Day War" that broke out in June last year. It started launching ballistic missiles at Israel within two hours, and the counterattack was even stronger. The Israeli military assessed at local time that since the morning of that day, Iran had launched about 150 missiles and dozens of suicide drones towards Israel. Israel said that its anti-aircraft system intercepted several missiles and the rest fell into open areas. Iran claimed that more than 90% of its missiles hit targets in Israel. Multiple sources of information show that the anti-missile systems of the United States and Israel intercepted some missiles, and some missiles successfully penetrated the defenses and hit the Israel Defense Forces headquarters building and the General Directorate of Surveying and Mapping.
These statements are not unexpected. Psychological warfare and public opinion warfare are part of war. Both sides exaggerate their own results and belittle the effects of the other side's actions as "basic operations." This is constantly happening in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, especially in the early stages of the war.
Judging from the pictures released by Iran, Iran mainly used liquid ballistic missiles such as "Meteor-3" and "Kadr" to attack Israel in the early stage, and used a small amount of "Conqueror" hypersonic missiles and "Segil" solid missiles. For Iran, the United States and Israel have been preparing for nearly more than a month and have made extensive preparations for anti-missile missiles. On land, they have deployed an anti-missile system consisting of "Patriot", "THAAD", "Arrow" series and "David's Sling" missiles. At sea, the US "Aegis" warship is equipped with "Standard" series interceptors, which can carry out multi-layer interception of missiles launched by Iran. The initial use of some relatively backward liquid missiles can consume the US-Israeli anti-missile system, laying more possibilities for subsequent improvement of strike effectiveness.
The AN/FPS-132 radar is a strategic early warning radar. It adopts an active phased array system and has a detection range of more than 5,000 kilometers. It is an important equipment deployed by the US military in the Middle East to detect and monitor Iranian missile launches.
Senior officials of the Iranian armed forces also conveyed this information to the outside world. Senior commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Jabari issued a stern warning to US President Trump. He publicly stated that the missiles used by Iran in today's counterattack were just "old stocks in the warehouse," implying that Iran's real strategic trump card has not yet been played. Jabari further revealed that Iran is about to display and deploy a series of "mysterious weapons that have never been seen before" on the battlefield. He emphasized that the power and technical level of these cutting-edge equipment will far exceed the imagination of the outside world, and are designed to deliver a devastating blow to the invaders.
In addition to launching attacks on Israel, Iran has also carried out extensive attacks on U.S. military bases in the Middle East. The main weapons used include short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, suicide drones, and rockets. Iranian military sources said that 14 US military bases in the Middle East have been attacked by Iran. According to media reports from Middle Eastern countries and regions, explosions were also heard in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and other countries that day. Iranian media reported that Iran is attacking US military bases in the Middle East.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed on February 28 that its missile attack caused "at least 200 US military casualties" and destroyed the US military's radar system in Qatar. The U.S. Central Command stated on March 1 that Iran’s missile and drone attacks did not cause any U.S. military casualties, only caused minor damage to facilities, and did not affect combat operations.
Judging from the available information, the U.S. Fifth Fleet Military Base Service Center in Bahrain, Zafra Air Base south of Abu Dhabi, Ali Salem Air Base, and the AN/FPS-132 radar base in Qatar were determined to have been attacked, and relevant videos and photos have been leaked. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated on the 28th that the US AN/FPS-132 radar with a detection range of 5,000 kilometers and related equipment used to track ballistic missiles located in Qatar had been completely destroyed. Qatar later confirmed that an early warning radar in the northern region had been attacked, but did not elaborate on the situation.
The AN/FPS-132 radar is a strategic early warning radar. It adopts an active phased array system and has a detection range of more than 5,000 kilometers. It is an important equipment deployed by the US military in the Middle East to detect and monitor Iranian missiles. The radar is networked with the "Patriot" and "THAAD" anti-missile systems. The system will serve the anti-missile operations of the United States and Israel in the Middle East during conflicts. Search radars and satellite communications equipment at the Bahrain base were also attacked.
Taking into account the early withdrawal of the US military, Iran's military strikes are more likely to cause damage to fixed military facilities of the US military. However, attacks on early warning radars and communication equipment may affect the anti-missile operations of the United States and Israel. This should be an action taken by Iran to improve its penetration capabilities for subsequent missile strikes.

According to CCTV news reports, on March 2, local time, Iran began the 12th round of attacks of the "True Commitment-4" operation.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it dispatched a total of 26 attack drones and 5 ballistic missiles in this operation to attack fixed and moving targets of the US military in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and the Strait of Hormuz.
In this operation, the US "Arifjan" base in Kuwait was attacked by 12 drones in two stages. The command and control center located at the "Minhad" US military base in the United Arab Emirates was also attacked by 6 drones and 5 ballistic missiles. The remaining U.S. Navy facilities in Bahrain were attacked and destroyed by six drones.
The picture shows the Dubai International Airport in the United Arab Emirates affected by the situation in Iran, taken on March 1.
On the same day, Iran also announced a new round of missile attacks on the Israeli mainland. The Israel Defense Forces said Iranian ballistic missiles were striking central Israel and sirens rang across the territory. The Israeli military said it was working to intercept the missiles.
The Israel Defense Forces stated that day that since launching military operations against Iran, the Israeli military has destroyed approximately 600 Iranian targets in air strikes. It is said to include 150 ballistic missiles and launchers, 200 air defense systems, and 20 locations related to Iran's security leadership.
The Israel Defense Forces said that as part of the air strikes, Israeli Air Force aircraft dropped more than 2,500 bombs.
Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces issued a statement saying it had launched six attacks since the start of Operation Roaring Lion. The Israeli air force struck an Iranian target in the center of Tehran.
Canadian Prime Minister Carney is launching a diplomatic breakout in the Asia-Pacific region.
Starting from February 27, he will visit India, Australia and Japan. In his first stop in India, the Prime Minister appeared in New Delhi and Mumbai as an "icebreaker", trying to repair the relationship between India and Canada that had once fallen to a freezing point.
Faced with this scene, some Indian media lamented: "This visit was simply unimaginable a year ago."
What strategic considerations are hidden behind this dramatic change?
In September 2023, the assassination of Canadian Sikh leader Nijar was like a political bomb, causing Indo-Canadian relations to take a sharp turn.
The then Prime Minister Trudeau publicly accused the Indian government of being involved in the case, but India flatly denied it. The two sides expelled diplomats from each other, the trade agreement negotiations came to an abrupt end, and bilateral relations fell into a low ebb.
But the direction of international politics is not dominated by emotions.
After Carney took office last year, he sent a clear signal: Canada is accelerating its "Look East."
Much of this push comes from our southern neighbor—Trump set off a trade protectionist storm after returning to the White House, threatening to impose tariffs on all imported goods.
The United States is Canada's largest trading partner and an important export market for India, which makes both Ottawa and New Delhi feel chilly.
Therefore, moderation becomes an inevitable option. In November last year, India and Canada announced the resumption of previously stalled trade agreement negotiations, with the goal of achieving bilateral trade volume of more than 50 billion US dollars by 2030, doubling the current level.
Carney said bluntly at the Davos Forum at the beginning of the year: "The middle powers must act together, otherwise they will become the targets of being slaughtered."
Such a "two-way trip" contributed to Carney's official visit to India.
India's reception this time was quite grand: the airport was greeted with flowers on the red carpet, and Carney was also arranged to have a discussion with the directors of Tata, India's largest conglomerate.
Carney also gave positive feedback, calling India a "natural partner" and saying that the two countries are expected to reach a comprehensive economic partnership agreement before the end of the year, which may be signed at the G20 summit in December.
According to the latest news, during this visit, the two sides not only signed a key uranium supply agreement, but also agreed to formally launch the final stage of free trade negotiations.
A closer look at the itinerary shows that Kani spent more time in Mumbai than New Delhi. Prioritizing the commercial center over the political center is a statement in itself.
In Mumbai, Carney conducted intensive "business exchanges" and met with Indian business people. The governors of the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and New Brunswick also participated.
After discussing business, Carney went to New Delhi to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Trump's protectionist policies were one of the topics they wanted to discuss.
At present, India and China's strengthening of cooperation is not impulsive, but is supported by data.
In 2024, India has become Canada's seventh largest trading partner in goods and services, with annual bilateral trade volume reaching US$30.8 billion.
Let’s look at the trade structure: In terms of trade in goods, Canada is in deficit with India, and its exports are mainly energy and minerals, while India’s exports to Canada are mainly pharmaceuticals and jewelry; in terms of trade in services, Canada’s surplus with India is as high as 15.2 billion Canadian dollars, of which “education-related travel” accounts for the majority, with nearly 400,000 Indian students studying in Canada.
what does that mean? India needs Canada's resources and educational opportunities, and Canada needs India's market and talents.
For India, Canada's uranium, oil, and natural gas mean diversifying energy imports and reducing dependence on specific regions; Canada wants to "export more oil to India." Currently, most of its oil is exported to the United States, and it urgently needs to open up new markets.
Outsiders pointed out that Carney's Asia-Pacific trip is intended to get rid of economic dependence on the United States. This trip also has different focuses: with Japan it focuses on "value coordination", with Australia it focuses on "competition coordination", and with India it is necessary to "break the ice" and "find increments." Because of this, India is regarded as "the most important and difficult stop."
Of course, India also has plans to play.
In terms of energy security, Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world and the country is stable. The two sides have reached a nuclear energy cooperation agreement, and Canada will provide uranium to India, which will greatly enhance India's energy independence.
In terms of educational dividends, this visit led to the signing of agreements between the Association of Canadian Universities and 13 Indian universities to promote research cooperation and student exchange projects, which will cultivate more high-end talents in India.
Geopolitically, when the United States is pursuing protectionism and the global trading system is in turmoil, Canada has taken the initiative to show its goodwill, giving India another card besides the United States.
From “unthinkable” in the past to “natural partners” today, Carney is trying to rewrite the narrative of Indo-Canadian relations. Behind this "ice-breaking" is Canada's strategic breakthrough in its eagerness to get rid of its dependence on the United States. It is also a low-cost, high-return strategic bet by India.
