Canada officially imposed a 100% additional tax on electric vehicles imported from china on October 1, and a 25% additional tax on steel and aluminum products imported from china on October 22. The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated that China has filed a lawsuit against Canada at the WTO for its unilateralism and trade protectionism, and has initiated an anti-discrimination investigation into Canada's relevant restrictive measures in accordance with the law. China will take all necessary measures to firmly defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.

The spokesperson further pointed out that Canada, disregarding opposition and dissuasion from various parties, persistently follows individual countries in taking unilateral suppression measures against China, believing that this practice violates market economy and fair competition principles, seriously damages the normal economic and trade cooperation of the two countries, severely impacts economic and trade relations, and disrupts and distorts the global industry chain and supply chain.
