China imposes new tariffs on Canadian agriculture products

theglobeandmail.com

China will impose new tariffs on Canadian agricultural products, effective March 20. This includes a 100% tariff on rapeseed oil, oil cakes, and peas, and a 25% duty on aquatic products and pork. These tariffs are a response to Canada's October tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum. China claims Canada's actions violate World Trade Organization rules and harm its interests. Canada is China's second-largest trading partner, after the United States. The trade tensions are part of a broader trade conflict involving multiple countries.
