China’s trade dispute with Canada is picking up momentum. On Tuesday, Beijing announced that it would initiate an anti-dumping investigation against Canadian rapeseed imports. The move is a response to Ottawa’s decision to also join the US decision to impose a 100 percent tariff on Chinese EVs, as well as a 25 percent tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum imports. Beijing also launched several investigations against the EU following the announcement of special tariffs on EVs, so far without any tangible consequences.
