Canada putting itself in extremely awkward position

China announced that it will impose additional tariffs on some products imported from Canada based on the results of an anti-discrimination probe on Saturday.

Effective from March 20, an additional 100 percent tariff will be imposed on imported rapeseed oil, oil cakes, and peas originating from Canada, while aquatic products and pork will be subject to an additional 25 percent tariff.

The decision comes after China's anti-discrimination probe determined that Canada's restrictive measures against some Chinese products have disrupted normal trade order and harmed the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
