On Monday, Beijing paused purchases of some U.S. farm products, including soybeans and pork, but Canadian agricultural imports have not been affected. “I can confirm that no Canadian farm imports have been halted by China,” said Jean-Sébastien Comeau, a spokesperson for Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau. (The Logic)

Talking point: Over the past 18 months, China has halted meat and canola imports from Canada. The reprieve for Canadian imports is the latest sign that China is not yet retaliating as some feared, following last week’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling against Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou. Two days after the court ruling, China’s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, who has previously harshly criticized Canada’s treatment of Meng, spoke instead about the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and China.
