Chinese economic activities are increasing in Canada, the Pentagon official said, noting that the activities in the hemisphere are part of a "counter-encirclement" strategy by Beijing, aimed at neutralizing what China views as a U.S. policy of building up bases and alliances in nations around China.

1) "economic activities" meaning the money they make from training and selling arms to these countries (read the entire article to learn about that)
2) "neutralizing" meaning reducing the USA's strategic advantage and positioning China as a THE global superpower.
