China has announced plans to launch an anti-dumping investigation into canola imports from Canada, among other measures, just days after Ottawa imposed tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs).

China’s Ministry of Commerce in a Sept. 3 press release accused Canada of canola dumping and announced a probe into Canadian canola imports and certain chemical products.
