China has cautioned Canada against implementing 100% tariffs on electric vehicle imports, warning that such actions could significantly harm trade relations between the two nations.
In a warning to Canada, China warned against slapping tariffs of one hundred percent on its electric vehicle (EV) imports, Teslarati reports.
Imports of electric vehicles manufactured in China are being subject to new tariffs that are comparable to those imposed by the United States.
China contends that if Canada were to impose tariffs of a similar nature, it would constitute a sacrifice to the usual trade that occurs between the two countries.
Liu Dan Warns of Trade Consequences
"Canada has no reason to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs at the risk of harming normal China-Canada economic exchanges since the volume of EV trade between the two countries is low," Liu Dan, an analyst with the Global Times, said. Liu holds the position of research fellow at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies's Center for Regional Country Studies.
Canada has been considering imposing tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) imported from China for some time now. The government of Canada has solicited the opinions of the general public as well as the professional guidance of organizations and companies that would be directly impacted by the tariffs.
Unifor Urges 100% Tariffs on EV Imports
Unifor, the largest labor organization in Canada, recently urged that taxes be applied on electric vehicles and components that are imported from China.
The labor union requested that electric vehicle imports from China be subject to tariffs of one hundred percent. Additionally, it requested duties on batteries and supplies used in the production of batteries that were imported from China.
Christie Freeland, who serves as both the Minister of Finance and the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, is of the opinion that geopolitics and geoeconomics have returned. When it comes to the United States, she believes that Canada will play a more significant role.
Liu continued by saying, "It seems that the Trudeau government has not figured out which one is more important for Canada—its national interests or its identity as a US ally."
