Canada, allies watchful of how China will fill Western void in Afghanistan

Analysts predict that could transform the recent political foe into an unexpected Western ally on a shared priority: fighting terrorist groups within Afghanistan and preventing them from threatening neighbouring countries.

Sounds a tad optimistic. But then Justin is a miracle worker.
