20世纪60年代中加小麦贸易对中国的重要意义

The Great Significance of Sino-Canadian Wheat Trade in the 1960s to China

1960年中国首次从加拿大进口粮食度荒,并由此改变此前的粮食自给自足现状。中 加小麦贸易不仅可以巩固粮食安全、促进农业改革,也可使中国重返加拿大与西方市场,使外贸渠 道多样化,同时还促进了中加建交、打破美国的封锁孤立政策。

China imported wheat from Canada for the first time in 1960 to tide over the famine, which changed the past self-sufficiency in grain in the country. The wheat transactions between the two countries ensured the safety of grain supply and pushed forward the agricultural reform in China. Furthermore, the trade accelerated China's return to the markets of Canada and the West, multiplied foreign trade channels, promoted the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Canada and helped smash the American policy of blockade and isolation against China.
