China announced retaliatory tariffs for some Canadian agricultural goods on Saturday, which had struggled back after Ottawa had hit Chinese electric vehicles and steel and aluminum products.
Beijing said that Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cake and peas would be raised a 100% tariff, while a release of 25% on water products and pork with origin in Canada.
The tariffs should come into force from March 20, according to a declaration by the China's customs tariff commission of the State Council.
The measures take place in the middle of a global trade war, after several announcements of the USA, China, Canada and Mexico have been announced in the past few months.
Canada imposed 100% import duties for electrical vehicles from Chinia from October 1 of last year, which were pursued in the footsteps of the United States and the European Union for concerns related to unfair competition.
Ottawa also applied a 25% tariff to imports of steel and aluminum products from China, which came into force from October 15th.
“Canada's one-sided impression of tariffs disregarded objective facts and rules for the world trade organization, is a typical protectionist practice, represents a discriminatory measure against China, seriously violates China's legitimate rights and interests and undermines China Canada economic and trade relationships”
