BEIJING has said it will open a trade probe into canola imports from Canada and hit out at Ottawa's decision last week to raise tariffs on Chinese steel and electric vehicles, reports London's Financial Times.
China's commerce ministry said Canada had 'significantly' increased exports of the agricultural product and was 'suspected of dumping,' adding that domestic manufacturers had incurred losses as a result.
Canada said it would impose 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese-made EVs and a 25 per cent levy on Chinese steel and aluminium, following similar measures this year from the US and EU.
The move - which was announced a day after US national security adviser Jake Sullivan met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Canada - is the latest example of the US and its allies taking actions to counter China.
