Canada once again ignored the facts, followed the policy of other countries and threatened to take unilateral repressive measures against China. Canada’s move is dangerous and irresponsible. China firmly opposes this, the text said.

The ministry warned that the new measure will seriously affect trade relations between Beijing and Ottawa, seriously undermine the global economic system, while disrupting the stability of the global industrial and supply chain.

China urges Canada to respect the facts, abide by the rules of the World Trade Organization and not make the same mistake again and again. We will pay close attention to future developments and take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, the note concludes.
