India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
China has formally filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) against Canada, disputing its tariffs and import quotas on steel and aluminum products. The move escalates ongoing trade tensions between the two countries.
At the center of the dispute are Canada’s tariff-rate quotas, which limit steel imports from nations without free trade agreements—such as China—and a 25% surtax on products containing Chinese steel or aluminum. Beijing argues these measures are discriminatory and violate WTO trade rules.
Canada introduced the surtax earlier this year, citing national security and the need to protect domestic industry. China, however, contends the actions are protectionist and have disrupted fair trade practices.
This isn’t the first clash between the two nations. Earlier this year, China imposed retaliatory duties on Canadian agricultural exports, signaling deepening friction in their trade relationship.
The WTO dispute consultation is the first step in the formal process. If talks fail, the case could proceed to a dispute panel, further straining Canada-China economic ties.
