Scrapping 100% tariff on Chinese EVs would be death knell for Canada’s auto industry, experts warn

As the federal government reviews Canada’s 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, industry insiders warn that ditching it entirely would be “an existential threat” to the Canadian automotive industry.

The tariff, which came into place almost a year ago, faces an automatic review, with results due by Oct. 1. Getting rid of it would prompt harsh retaliation from the U.S., and be the death knell for automotive production here, said the head of the association representing Detroit’s Big Three automakers in Canada.

Nasa bans Chinese nationals from working on its space programmes

US space agency Nasa has blocked Chinese citizens with valid US visas from its facilities – a move that effectively bars them from working at one of the most respected space research centres.

Chinese nationals, who could only work at Nasa as contractors or students contributing to research, found out on 5 September that they had lost all access to Nasa’s systems and facilities, Bloomberg news reported, citing sources.

Nasa then confirmed this, saying Chinese nationals would be restricted from using the agency’s “facilities, materials and networks to ensure the security of our work”.

This has been self-evident for what 25 years?

Carney considering scrapping tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles

If Canadians were in the driver’s seat, tariffs imposed by Ottawa on Chinese electric vehicles (EV) would have an easier road to the Canadian market.

At least that’s according to a Nanos Research survey with CTV News, which found 62 per cent of respondents either support or somewhat support removing a 100 per cent tax on all Chinese-made EVs, in the hopes that China may remove tariffs against Canadian crops like Canola.

Just what we need.

China’s Threat – Wainright’s Important Warning

After watching the carefully stage-managed parade of Communist Chinese military power observing the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, it is important to hear and heed the warning provided by an American general who endured four brutal years as a Japanese prisoner-of-war eight decades ago.

General Jonathan Wainwright fought a brave but futile defense of the Philippines in the days after Pearl Harbor. Having been overwhelmed by far superior forces, his men faced the Bataan Death March and barbaric treatment from their Japanese captors.

Carney’s $370M canola incentives are missing the mark, says industry group president

The president of the Canola Council of Canada says new funding announced this week by Prime Minister Mark Carney “misses the mark” on what the industry needs right now in the face of a steep Chinese tariff.

“We don’t believe there’s been proper recognition of extensive impacts on the rest of the canola value chain,” Chris Davison said on Rosemary Barton Live. “We have exporters and processors who have assets, facilities and infrastructure that is under duress right now.”

He added: “And there was nothing specifically that was speaking to that.”

‘Unrestrained’ Chinese Cyberattackers May Have Stolen Data From Almost Every American

Information collected during the yearslong Salt Typhoon attack could allow Beijing’s intelligence services to track targets from the United States and dozens of other countries.

China has hacked into American power grids and companies for decades, stealing sensitive files and intellectual property such as chip designs as it seeks to gain an edge over the United States.

But a sweeping cyberattack by a group known as Salt Typhoon is China’s most ambitious yet, experts and officials have concluded after a year of investigating it. It targeted more than 80 countries and may have stolen information from nearly every American, officials said. They see it as evidence that China’s capabilities rival those of the United States and its allies.

‘A clear message to Trump’: BBC correspondents react to China’s military parade

Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stood publicly shoulder to shoulder for the first time on Wednesday, ahead of a massive military parade in central Beijing.

That parade, which marked 80 years since China’s victory over Japan in World War Two, saw Beijing unveiling a range of new military hardware – including a new nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile, a new road-bound missile for delivering hypersonic weapons, a new laser weapon, and even “robotic dog” drones.

It comes at a time when Xi seeks to project Beijing’s power on the international stage – not just as the world’s second-largest economy, but also as a counterweight to the United States as Trump’s tariffs rock the global economic and political order.

’Mercy of politics’: Canadian farmers weigh plans as Chinese tariff hits canola price

As Chinese tariffs on Canadian canola products continue to hamper the cash price of one of the country’s most valuable crops, farming experts say producers have big decisions ahead of them.

Market analyst Chuck Penner with LeftField Commodity Research said while future prices are down slightly, the cash price farmers receive for their canola, also known as the basis, is much lower.

I can make your life better, President Xi tells anti-West alliance

President Xi has outlined an economic vision for his “alternative” group of non-western powers as its members battle a wave of sanctions and tariffs from Washington and its allies.

Xi welcomed the leaders of Russia, Iran, India and other Eurasian states to a meeting of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO), which campaigns for a greater role for non-western powers on the world stage.

Several leaders complained of facing the growing threat of US and EU sanctions. Member states include western bête noires such as Iran, Russia and Belarus, but even supposed friends of the West such as India are facing crippling tariffs from President Trump, in part because of their ties to Moscow.

China’s navy is expanding at breakneck speed – and catching up with the US

“Socialism is good…” a pensioner warbles into a portable karaoke mic, slightly off-key and drowned out by her friends’ chatter.

But they join her for the chorus: “The Communist Party guides China on the path to power and wealth!”

It is not the catchiest karaoke number. But it is an apt one to belt out as they look towards a horizon framed by cranes towering over ships of all sizes.

U.S. Treasury Warns of $312 Billion in Chinese Laundering For Mexican cartels

… As reported previously by The Bureau in coverage of a sweeping FinTRAC warning on Chinese underground banking in Toronto, FinCEN is now raising similar alarms. The Treasury said so-called “money mules” often rely on falsified jobs and identities to gain access to the banking system, disguise unexplained wealth, and buy residential properties. In cases where these mules opened accounts, they frequently listed occupations such as “student,” “housewife,” “retired,” or “laborer” — roles that would not normally involve large volumes of financial activity — yet the accounts showed high-value deposits and transactions consistent with laundering.

How China’s Market Dominance Tactics Call for Caution on EV Tariff Concessions

Beijing’s escalation of tariffs on Canadian agricultural products has prompted prominent voices such as Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe to push Ottawa to drop its tariffs on Chinese EVs.

The argument is that Ottawa’s tariffs primarily benefit the central Canada-based EV sector, while Western farmers bear the cost of China’s retaliation, including its recent 75.8 percent tariffs on Canadian canola. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has noted that China understands “divisions” in Canada and that it uses targeted tariffs to divide the country to Beijing’s advantage.
