渥太华——自由党议员科迪·布洛伊斯表示,随着渥太华寻求解决针对加拿大油菜籽的持续贸易冲突,加拿大人可以期待更多高层访问中国。
布洛伊斯是加拿大总理马克·卡尼的议会秘书,他本月早些时候与萨斯喀彻温省省长斯科特·莫伊一同访问了中国,敦促北京取消对加拿大油菜籽的关税。
布洛瓦周五对记者表示:“你们将会看到越来越多的联邦部长访问中国,与他们的同行进行交流。我认为,最终这将为两国之间就贸易摩擦进行更多对话创造机会。”
继渥太华对美国对中国电动汽车征收关税后,中国今年对加拿大油菜籽征收了高额关税。
布洛瓦表示,在为期四天的访问中,他和莫伊拜会了中国贸易、外交和海关部门的官员。
布洛瓦周五在新斯科舍省沃尔夫维尔举行的一次新闻发布会上表示:“我认为这次会晤是积极的。这是一个重新接触的机会。”
“过去几年,加中关系一直不太好,这已不是什么秘密,但我对莫伊总理的积极参与表示充分赞赏,我很高兴代表加拿大政府参加此次会晤。”
去年10月,加拿大对中国进口电动汽车征收100%的关税,这与前总统乔·拜登做出的决定一致。拜登承诺的100%关税将于2024年9月底生效。
联邦政府为这项关税辩护,指责中国不公平地补贴其电动汽车行业,并过度生产汽车,以向市场投放廉价汽车。
中国称这项关税是“保护主义”举措,损害了中加贸易关系。
卡尼周二会见了莫伊,讨论了中国对加拿大油菜籽征收的关税。普遍认为,这是中国因电动汽车关税而采取的报复措施。
莫伊在与卡尼会晤后表示,解决中国关税问题并非仅仅取消电动汽车关税那么简单,因为该关税与美国同步实施。
中国对加拿大进口油菜籽征收76%的关税,对菜籽油、菜籽粕和豌豆征收100%的关税。中国还对部分加拿大猪肉、鱼类和海鲜产品征收25%的关税。
根据加拿大油菜籽理事会(Canola Council of Canada)发布的数据,中国是加拿大最大的油菜籽出口市场,去年为该行业带来了约49亿美元的出口额。
安大略省省长道格·福特(Doug Ford)周三致卡尼的一封信中表示,加拿大必须维持对中国电动汽车征收100%关税,因为渥太华希望与美国达成新的贸易协议,并保护加拿大的汽车行业。
福特在致卡尼的信中并未提及油菜籽关税。
墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·申鲍姆(Claudia Sheinbaum)上周宣布,对来自中国和其他亚洲国家的1400种产品(包括汽车)征收高达50%的关税。

Liberal MP Kody Blois says more ministers likely to visit China after canola trip

Blois, parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Mark Carney, joined Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on a visit to China earlier this month to urge Beijing to drop its tariffs on Canadian canola.
"You're going to see an increased presence of federal ministers visiting China, engaging with their counterparts, and I think there's ultimately an opportunity for more dialogue on the trade irritants that exist between our two countries," Blois told reporters on Friday.
China imposed significant tariffs on Canadian canola this year following Ottawa's move to match U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
Blois said that, during the four-day trip, he and Moe visited Chinese officials in the country's trade, foreign affairs and customs departments.
"I would characterize the meetings as positive. It was an opportunity for re-engagement," Blois said Friday at an unrelated news conference in Wolfville, N.S.
"It is no secret that the relationship between Canada and China has not been in a great place over the last number of years, but I certainly give full credit to Premier Moe for his engagement and I was very pleased to join on behalf of the government of Canada."
Canada imposed a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicle imports in October of last year, matching a decision by former president Joe Biden, whose promise of a 100 per cent tariff took effect in late September 2024.
The federal government justified the tariff by accusing China of unfairly subsidizing its EV industry and overproducing vehicles to flood markets with cheaper cars.
China described the tariff as a "protectionist" move that harms China-Canada trade relations.
Carney met with Moe on Tuesday to talk about China's tariffs on Canadian canola, widely seen as a retaliatory measure triggered by the electric vehicle tariff.
Speaking after his meeting with Carney, Moe said the solution to Chinese tariffs is not as simple as getting rid of the EV tariff, because it was imposed in lockstep with the U.S.
China charges a 76 per cent tariff on Canadian canola seed imports and a 100 per cent tariff on canola oil, meal and peas. China also put a 25 per cent tariff on certain Canadian pork, fish and seafood products.
China is a top canola export market for Canada, worth some $4.9 billion to the industry last year, according to data published by the Canola Council of Canada.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a letter to Carney on Wednesday that Canada must maintain its 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles as Ottawa looks to secure a new trade deal with the U.S. and protect Canada's auto sector.
Ford did not mention the canola tariff in his letter to Carney.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum last week announced tariffs of up to 50 per cent on 1,400 products from China and other Asian nations, including automobiles.
