The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce responded to a reporter's question on Canada's announcement of additional taxes on some products such as Chinese batteries

On September 11, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said that China has noticed the release of relevant documents by the Canadian side. Only half a month after the introduction of restrictions on electric vehicles and other restrictions against China, the Canadian side once again ignored the facts and followed individual countries, threatening to take unilateral measures against China, seriously hindering the normal economic and trade cooperation between Chinese and Canadian enterprises, seriously impacting China-Canada economic and trade relations, seriously undermining the global economic system and economic and trade rules, and impacting the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain. This move by the Canadian side is dangerous and irresponsible. China firmly opposes it. China urges the Canadian side to respect the facts, abide by WTO rules, and not make mistakes again and again. China will closely follow the follow-up moves of the Canadian side and take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
