As China and Canada make progress in their relations, the United States immediately came out to issue a warning! On January 17th, according to AFP, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that Canada's decision to allow up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles to enter its market would cause it "regret," and these Chinese electric vehicles would be banned from entering the U.S. market. The fact that Canada allows the import of Chinese electric vehicles is worrying. Canada will certainly regret allowing Chinese cars into its market.
Meanwhile, U.S. Trade Representative Griles claimed that this decision is unsustainable and that in the long run, Canada will eventually regret this agreement. Obviously, the U.S. is very unhappy with the progress made by China and Canada in their trade relations. However, we are puzzled: this is a cooperation between Canada and China, what does the U.S. have to do with it? Why is the U.S. stepping in to give orders? Is this not an infringement on Canada's basic respect as a sovereign nation?
In fact, Canada's pragmatic adjustment of its policies is entirely in line with Canada's interests. To put it plainly, in the automotive industry, the U.S. is becoming increasingly less competitive, and the U.S. can only set up trade barriers to protect its domestic industry. A world power like the U.S. is so afraid of competition, which is really astonishing. However, given the sharp deterioration of U.S.-Canada relations, Canada certainly won't take heed of the U.S.'s warnings, and it is believed that Canada will be able to withstand the pressure coming from the U.S.
