China Announces New Tariffs on Canadian Agricultural and Food Products

The move comes in retaliation for Canada's duties on Chinese electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum imposed last year.

China will impose 100% tariffs on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes, and peas, and 25% tariffs on aquatic products and pork starting March 20.
The tariffs are a response to Canada's October 2024 import duties on Chinese-made electric vehicles and steel and aluminum products.
Canada's measures were reportedly introduced to counter China's state-subsidized overcapacity, following similar actions by the U.S. and EU.
China's commerce ministry claims Canada's tariffs violate World Trade Organization rules and harm Chinese enterprises' interests.
Canada is a leading producer of canola, a key export to China, but trade relations have been strained in recent years due to diplomatic tensions.
