On Tuesday, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced decisive countermeasures against Canada in response to its decision to impose additional tariffs on Chinese imported products, including aluminium, electric vehicles (EVs), and steel. These measures include plans to initiate dispute settlement proceedings at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and launch anti-discrimination investigations.
Chinese officials and experts emphasised that the countermeasures are consistent with Chinese laws and WTO regulations, condemning Canada's alignment with the US and the EU as a flagrant violation of WTO rules. On August 26, the Canadian government announced its intention to mirror the United States' tariffs on goods from China. The plan included imposing 25 per cent tariffs on aluminium and steel and 100 per cent on electric vehicles.
