China Launches Anti-Dumping Probe on Canadian Canola

The investigation follows Canada's imposition of tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, escalating trade tensions between the two nations.

China's Ministry of Commerce announced an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola imports, citing unfair competition.
Canada recently imposed a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles and a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum.
China plans to take the issue to the World Trade Organization and may also investigate Canadian chemical products.
More than half of Canada's canola production is exported to China, valued at $3.47 billion in 2023.
Previous trade tensions between the two countries have also involved canola, with China suspending Canadian exports in 2019.
