Not sure what you mean. Oil doesn't last forever, whether Canada sells it to China or uses it just for themselves. Relying on it is a dead end for everyone involved, as well as Canada. Eventually it will run out. But I'm guessing you're talking about how Canada will be reliant on China when their reserves go out, putting China in a better position to take advantage of Canada economically in the future?
