China will launch an anti-dumping investigation into rapeseed imports from Canada in accordance with the relevant domestic laws, as well as the World Trade Organization rules, stated by the Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday.

9月3日，中国表示，计划对从加拿大进口的菜籽油展开反倾销调查。

China will also initiate an anti-dumping investigation into specific Canadian chemical products, following requests from domestic industries, said the ministry in an online statement.

另外，中国还将对加拿大的一些化工产品发起反倾销调查，且中国打算就加拿大的相关做法诉诸世界贸易组织争端解决机制。

The Canadian government announced in late August that it will take restrictive measures which include new tariffs on electric vehicles, as well as steel and aluminum products imported from China.

加拿大政府8月26日发布公告称，计划自今年10月1日起对所有中国制造的电动汽车征收100%的附加税，自今年10月15日起对进口自中国的钢铁和铝产品征收25%的附加税。

In the statement, a spokesperson from the Ministry of Commerce warned that China will take all necessary measures to defend the legitimate rights and interests of its companies.

商务部研究院对外贸易研究所所长梁明表示，我们发起“反歧视调查”就是要采取合规合法的措施来捍卫中国企业的正当权益。

Since Canada has imposed discriminatory unilateral restrictions on imports from China, China will initiate an anti-discrimination investigation into the relevant Canadian measures and will take actions based on the actual situation, said the statement.

据悉，这是中国首次发起“反歧视调查”，也是全球首例。指向性明确，反制态度鲜明。商务部新闻发言人当天表示，中方将根据《中华人民共和国对外贸易法》第七条、第三十六条规定，对加拿大采取的相关限制措施发起“反歧视调查”，后续根据实际情况对加采取相应措施。
