China imposes tariffs on Canadian rapeseed oil, pork

financialpost.com

China will impose new tariffs on Canadian rapeseed oil, pork, and seafood, effective March 20. The tariffs include a 100% levy on rapeseed oil and a 25% tariff on pork and some seafood. This move follows Canada's previous tariffs on Chinese electric cars and metals, which prompted China to investigate rapeseed imports and challenge Canada at the World Trade Organization. China's pork imports have decreased due to domestic oversupply, while Canada remains a major rapeseed producer. The trade tensions reflect broader global trade conflicts, including recent U.S. tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
