斗不赢特朗普，加拿大调转枪口，逼中国付出代价，中方没有退路

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the impact of the Trump administration's tariff policies on Canada and its subsequent shift in focus towards China, highlighting the complexities and contradictions in Canada's trade policies and its reliance on the U.S. market [1][5][7]. Group 1: Tariff Policies and Economic Impact - The Trump administration imposed a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports, significantly affecting Canada as the largest importer of these materials from the U.S. [1] - In 2022, nearly half of Canada's steel imports came from the U.S., while 91% of its steel exports were sent to the U.S., indicating a high dependency on the American market [1][3]. - Canada is preparing to impose a 35% tariff on U.S. imports after August 1, reflecting its struggle to negotiate the removal of tariffs with the U.S. [1][3]. Group 2: Canada's Response to China - The Canadian government, led by Carney, plans to impose a 50% tariff on steel exports from countries without a free trade agreement with Canada, including China, if their export levels exceed 2024 figures [3]. - Additionally, a 25% tariff will be applied to all steel products from countries outside the U.S., including China, due to concerns over potential surges in cheap steel imports [3]. - Carney's rationale for these tariffs is based on fears of Chinese steel flooding the Canadian market due to U.S. tariffs, although this reasoning has been criticized as a misrepresentation of the "overcapacity" narrative [3][5]. Group 3: Contradictions in Trade Policy - Canada's trade policy appears contradictory, as it criticizes "Chinese manufacturing" while benefiting from trade with China, such as in the case of a British Columbia ferry company purchasing vessels from Chinese manufacturers [5][7]. - The Canadian government faces internal conflicts regarding support for domestic industries versus engaging in trade with China, highlighting the complexities of its trade relationships [5][7]. - The article emphasizes that Canada should reconsider its reliance on the U.S. and seek diversified partnerships rather than escalating tensions with China [5][8].
