CHINA HAS A BEEF WITH CANADA

Puts the squeeze on Canadian exports



Canadian beef exports to China grew from $9 million last March to $48 million.



As the world marks the 30th anniversary of Tiananmen Square, China is doing another crackdown.



This time it is against Canada — all because we won't give in to China's demands we abandon our rule of law.



Beef exports are the latest casualty as they try to make the Trudeau government come to heel.



Thankfully, the PM and his team so far haven't given in.



China has long been annoyed with Canada under Justin Trudeau — beyond the detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou last December.



Despite Trudeau's admiration for China — and even its basic dictatorship — President Xi Jinping has expressed annoyance at Trudeau for some time.



The battle is about much more than Meng, more than Huawei — it's about China's attempt to become the global power.



They arrested Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig on trumped up charges, boosted the drug sentence of Robert Schellenberg from 15 years to death.



Add to that the economic measures.



In the last few months, China has targeted Canadian exports of canola, peas and pork



— and now beef.



Canadian beef exports to China grew from $9 million last March to $48 million.



They are now our third-largest market for pork and beef, and among our top customers for canola and pulse crops.



It's more than a trade spat, it's a power play.



Meng is due back in court Thursday as part of the extradition process, and China is hoping the political pressure will lead to a judicial solution.



Trudeau had maintained politics don't enter into Canadian judicial decisions, but then the Snc-lavalin happened.



China has been trying to squeeze key Canadian industries in the hopes Trudeau will bend, I have to say that thankfully he has not.



John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association says his members may be wary about shipping products to China given the current situation.



Millions of dollars of product are already "on the water" en route to China.



Former Conservative agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said that while this is part of a larger fight, the Trudeau government hasn't put forward Canada's position clearly, and beef won't be the last product targeted by China.



"They have gone done the list from canola to peas to pork to beef," Ritz said.



If Canada gives in now, then who knows what China will target next?
