Outstanding achievements of Canadian Prime Minister Kan's visit to China -
Kan announced: Import 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles, with the tariff rate reduced from 100% to 6.9%.
According to The New York Times, Canada will reduce tariffs on some Chinese electric vehicles. This major policy shift was announced by Canadian Prime Minister Kan during his "landmark" visit to Beijing.
Canadian Prime Minister Kan announced in Beijing that he would allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles to enter the Canadian market at a preferential tariff rate of 6.1%, and this policy shift is seen as a key signal for thawing Sino-Canadian relations.
Canada agreed to import up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles at the most-favored-nation tariff rate of 6.1%, restoring the tariff level before the trade friction. Previously, under pressure from the United States in 2024, Canada had imposed a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles.
Kan confirmed the policy at a press conference on January 16, which took immediate effect, and emphasized that it aims to "create sustainable prosperity for the people of both countries."
