加拿大讨好特朗普对华加税，中方订单给澳洲

Group 1 - The Canadian government imposed a 25% punitive tariff on steel containing Chinese components, a move seen as a response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum products [1][3] - The Canadian steel industry has experienced a 30% drop in production due to these tariffs, while the government has chosen to target China instead of confronting the U.S. directly [3] - The policy disproportionately affects China, with all countries that have free trade agreements with the U.S. being exempt from these tariffs, leading to criticism from trade experts [3] Group 2 - In retaliation, China placed a significant order worth $3.7 billion with Australia, including 150,000 tons of canola seeds, which directly impacts Canada's economy [4][6] - Canada previously exported 4 million tons of canola seeds to China annually, but exports have now plummeted to a mere 0.03%, causing a 12% drop in canola prices and the closure of seven oilseed processing plants [6] - The situation has led to widespread discontent among Canadian farmers, with protests against the government's policies and a report highlighting a loss of CAD 9 billion in business due to short-sighted political decisions [8][6] Group 3 - Australia is benefiting from the situation, with its agricultural sector thriving as it secures new agreements with China, including the re-entry of previously banned products like Australian wine [6][4] - The Canadian government faces backlash from its citizens, with political leaders criticizing the decision to sacrifice farmers' livelihoods for U.S. favor [8] - The stark contrast between the economic conditions in Canada and Australia is evident, with Canadian ports experiencing a backlog of containers while Australian ports are bustling with activity [8][6]
