An important piece of context here is that Xi usually only meets heads of state.
I don’t think this is true, XJP regularly meets with heads of government. Plus the governor general for Canada is basically the pseudo head of state (and does do all the state visits and so forth that you’d expect).
An interesting tangent is that most Commonwealth countries have murky definitions of their head of state and in many cases not clear whether the governor general or monarch is the actual head of state. This gets extra silly for somewhere like Australia, where the federal representative of the monarch is the governor general, but this position does not represent the monarch for Australian states - who each have their own connection to the monarchy and their own representative.
The Queen would definitely have leaked it, just in a way that it wasn’t traced back to the Queen so the brits can keep pretending that their monarchy isn’t deeply involved in politics.
Anyway Trudeau is a piece of shit and another L is unsurprising

China’s policy was always for only equal positions in government to meet. Xi is head of state, Trudeau is not, it was an exception at the time that was made for meeting.
This is also why Xi will not meet with Blinken despite the US requesting it multiple times, and instead Blinken is made to meet with Wang Yi instead.
But XJP has met various Australian PMs a bunch of times, he met with Meloni ~a month ago, Modi goes to BRICS and not the head of state, etc
With Blinken I thought that was a specific set of circumstances - they didn’t meet until after Xi had a meeting with Biden in San Francisco last year (and then Blinken did meet with Xi earlier this year in China).
Actually I checked and I must be misremembering, because Blinken met with Xi earlier in 2023 as well, before the San Francisco meeting?
