China imposes new tariffs on Canadian agricultural products

China will impose new tariffs on Canadian farm and food products, including a 100 percent tariff on rapeseed oil, oil cakes, and peas, effective March 20. Pork and aquatic products will face a 25 percent tariff. This decision follows a Chinese investigation into Canada's tariffs on Chinese goods, which were implemented last year. Canada had placed 100 percent tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and additional tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. China's commerce ministry claims that Canada's actions disrupted trade and harmed Chinese businesses. The new tariffs come amid ongoing trade tensions between Canada, China, and the United States.
