The percentage of Canadians of Asian descent shifted from 1.4% to 23% in the past fifty years. While Trump’s policies are a factor here, there’s a demographic factor as well. Many Canadians, especially younger Canadians, have stronger cultural and familial ties to Asia than America or Europe, and this trend will continue to play out in the years ahead.

This is true, but many of those Asians moved to Canada specifically to get away from the CCP. Others of course have a more favourable view. There are various diasporas, and they don't all see things the same way.

What is considered Asian in Canada? Are Indians for example also included, or just East Asians?
