China will remove canola tariffs if Canada scraps EV levies: ambassador China will remove its tariffs on Canadian agriculture — including on canola products — if Canada scraps its levies on Chinese electric vehicles, that country’s ambassador says.

So the PRC basically admits its canola tariffs are “unilateral and unjustified”?

This is why trade diversification is so important.
