You don't see how Trudeau gains politically from better ties with a country of 1 billion+ people and a GDP of 11 trillion at the time?
I mean even Morris Rosenberg excused such in his whataboutism to involve Harper because of course he would (why would he wish to be implicating Harper if he's just the head of a charity foundation that is supposed to have zero political affiliations)

At that time, universities, corporations and governments were all attempting to strengthen ties with China, including Mr. Harper's government,' Morris Rosenberg said

The question that really should be asked is not how Trudeau can gain here, the question should be why would China believe that making a donation to a non-profitable charity would get better ties to Trudeau directly and was successful.
That should not be possible, yet it was. And upon finding out the shady dealing involving how the donation occured, Fournier has been spilling the beans on the shadiness behind the Trudeau Foundation (good on her).
