Canada's decision to impose tariffs on imports of Chinese electric vehicles, as well as steel and aluminium products, has sparked concern over the stability of global industrial and supply chains. A spokesperson for the Chinese Commerce Ministry issued a statement on Tuesday condemning the action.

The spokesperson argued that Canada's tariffs would 'seriously undermine the global economic system and economic and trade rules.' In light of these concerns, China has urged Canada to reconsider and correct its practices immediately.
