China’s ambassador to Canada says Beijing will remove its tariffs on Canadian canola and agricultural products if Ottawa lifts the levies on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs).

Wang Di in an interview with CTV aired on Oct. 12 accused the federal government of hitting China with “unjustified” tariffs, stressing that Beijing will only lift retaliatory duties on targeted Canadian goods if Ottawa lifts its duties on Chinese goods first.
