Asked about media reports of Canada filing a complaint at the WTO against China's tariffs on Canadian agricultural and fishery products, China's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun on Tuesday referred specific questions to relevant Chinese authorities.
"I would like to point out that Canada, despite China's repeated admonitions, insisted on taking discriminatory restrictive measures against some Chinese imports, which seriously violates WTO rules, disrupts the normal trade order, and seriously damages China's legitimate rights and interests," Guo told a regular press conference.
