The strategy also included extra spending plans for $1.7 billion to boost cyber security, intelligence capabilities, and military presence.

The document also portrayed China as "a disruptive global power," which Canada will counter by reducing investment, among other things. According to Reuters, Ottawa also intended to tighten restrictions on foreign investment and protect intellectual property to stop China's state-owned companies from funneling money into Canada's most important industries.

The report also recommended that Canada keep its relations with China intact in spite of the recommendations made.

According to the World Bank, China, which accounts for about 15% of all imports, is Canada's second-most significant trading partner behind the US.
