Prospect of U.S.-China trade deal creates access worries for Canadian farmers

Canadian exports of beef, pork, canola and soybeans
have largely been locked out of the massive Chinese market following the
December arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver. Meng was
detained on an extradition request by the United States, a move that
angered Beijing and has dealt a severe blow to Canada-China relations.
But
a few Canadian crops have had stronger sales to China over the past
year. The trade fight between the world’s two largest economies has, for
example, helped contribute to a surge in Canadian wheat exports to
China since Beijing imposed tariffs on American products.
There
are industry fears about what could come next — what will happen to
Canadian farm exports if U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese
President Xi Jinping eventually strike a deal?

China slammed the US decision to target Zhuhai Zhenrong and its chief executive, Youmin Li, and urged the Trump administration to reverse course.
“We are opposed to the US bullying behavior of wantonly cracking down, suppressing and sanctioning Chinese companies and individuals based on US domestic law. We are firmly opposed to it and strongly condemn it,” said Hua Chunying, spokeswoman for China’s foreign ministry, at a regular press briefing in Beijing.
“We strongly urge the US to immediately rectify its wrong behavior, and stop imposing illegal sanctions against Chinese companies and individuals. China will take all necessary measures to firmly preserve the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies and individuals,” she added.
