Canada&#8217;s Global Affairs department could not immediately comment on the first \u200bcars&#8217; expected arrival.<\/div>\n<div>Wang said other Chinese brands, such as Chery (9973.HK)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> and BYD (002594.SZ)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> are coordinating with Canadian government agencies to complete \u2060steps before they can ship to Canada. Some cars arrived earlier for the companies to test in Canadian conditions, Canadian officials have said previously.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;I hope in autumn \u200bthis year, the truly, genuinely other Chinese brand EVs will complete the procedures and get into the Canadian market,&#8221; Wang said through an interpreter.<\/div>\n<div>BYD Executive Vice \u200bPresident Stella Li recently told Reuters the company would likely start sales next year. U.S.-based Tesla has already imported Chinese-made vehicles into Canada.<\/div>\n<div>Canada also aims to attract joint ventures and investments into the country&#8217;s EV supply chain.<\/div>\n<div>Wang said Chinese EV makers were interested in setting up joint ventures, but would first focus on building sales and gauging market demand.<\/div>\n<div>Carney&#8217;s decision to allow Chinese \u200bEV imports faced criticism from some U.S. officials and lawmakers.<\/div>\n<h2>TRADE EXPECTED TO SPIKE<\/h2>\n<div>During his January visit to China, Carney also said Canada would seek to increase \u200bits exports to China by 50% by 2030.<\/div>\n<div>However, China&#8217;s Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi said last month exports could increase by 100%.<\/div>\n<div>To double Canadian exports to China, they must \u200cincrease nearly \u206015% annually for the next five years, Wang said, adding Canadian exports have already risen 27.5% in the five months since Carney&#8217;s visit.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;As we continue to move forward, our economic and trade cooperation continues to unleash the potential in our economies and continues to leverage the complementarities that we have, I think maybe we can go beyond the 100%, maybe, we can reach 200%,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div>Wang said Canada could supply nearly 22 million metric tons of crude oil to China annually, \u200bup from 15.5 million tons last \u200byear.<\/div>\n<div>He said he saw &#8220;great potential&#8221; for \u2060China to buy liquefied natural gas from Canada, without elaborating.<\/div>\n<div>Wang said Canada, a major exporter of canola, peas and beef, supplies just 2% of Chinese agricultural imports, underscoring the huge market Canada can tap into.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;As long as we keep to \u200bthe right track, at the right pace, towards the right direction, there will be a lot of potential for \u200bus to increase \u2060our trade,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div>China cut tariffs in March on some Canadian products but left duties on canola oil at 100% and pork at 25%. Tariff relief on products including canola meal, peas, and lobster expires at the end of the year, creating uncertainty for exporters.<\/div>\n<div>Wang declined to say whether China would extend the tariff suspension or \u2060reduce tariffs on \u200bpork and canola oil.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;As long as the two countries uphold the principle of mutual respect, \u200bequality, reciprocity &#8230; there will be nothing that we cannot resolve.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>But he warned Carney&#8217;s government must uphold the principles of mutual respect, seek common ground and pursue mutually beneficial outcomes.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Whenever these principles are not \u200bfollowed, of course, there will be a negative impact,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3058\">Germany, Poland poised for soaring temperatures as heatwave moves east<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3056\">Volkswagen Law: the unique structure behind Europe\u2019s biggest carmaker<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3054\">Prediction market platform Polymarket tops $1 billion in annualized revenue, source says<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The agreement allows up to 49,000 Chinese EVs to enter Canada annually at a reduced tariff rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,140],"class_list":["post-3060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-asia-pacific","tag-ev-battery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
