China imposes retaliatory tariffs on Canadian farm and food products



China on Saturday announced retaliatory tariffs on some Canadian farm and food imports, after Canada imposed duties in October on Chinese-made electric vehicles and steel and aluminum products.

The new duties become effective March 20, according to a statement by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council. Additional 100% tariffs will be imposed on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes and peas, and additional 25% tariffs will apply to pork and aquatic products.

The tariffs add to global trade tensions already high, with rounds of tariff announcements by the United States, China, Canada and Mexico.

The duties come in retaliation for Ottawa imposing tariffs against Chinese imports in October, including a 100% surtax on all Chinese-made EVs and 25% on steel and aluminum imports.

"Despite China's repeated opposition and dissuasion, Canada has taken unilateral restrictive measures on electric vehicles, steel, aluminum and other products imported from China without investigation, undermining China-Canada economic and trade relations," read the statement by the customs authorities.

Screw China

I believe the dust will soon settle on the North American tariff drama.

I don't understand why Canadians are pissed about reciprocal tariffs.  I know some dairy farmers in Wisconsin who have been pissed for years about you motherfuckers tariffing the fuck out of your dairy.

Trump is just pointing out that we've been too nice and have been taken advantage of for far too long.

Because every time they try to build a power plant the environmentalists throw a tantrum and the project gets cancelled.

Now those same environmentalists are whining about skyrocketing power bills.

You can't fix stupid.

They don't give 2 fucks about that.
