    • Steady Trade Growth: <\/strong>Canada\u2013China bilateral trade reached CAD 64.2 billion in H1 2025, up 9% year-on-year.<\/li>\n
    • Exports Led by Energy and Minerals<\/strong>: <\/strong>Canadian exports to China rose 12% to CAD 16 billion, propelled by surging shipments of energy products and minerals. However, Canadian agri-food exports contracted sharply due to Chinese tariffs.<\/li>\n
    • Imports Driven by Consumer Goods and Machinery: <\/strong>Imports from China grew 8% to CAD 48 billion, with consumer goods, electronics, and industrial machinery accounting for over two-thirds of all Chinese exports to Canada.<\/li>\n
    • Provincial Winners and Losers: <\/strong>Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec posted the strongest gains in export growth, while agri-food-focused provinces such as Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia suffered steep export declines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In the first half of 2025, China sustained its position as one of Canada\u2019s top trading partners. Bilateral trade reached<\/a> CAD 64.2 billion, reflecting a robust 9% year-over-year increase. However, quarterly trends signaled<\/a> a loss of momentum, with growth decelerating from 7% in the first quarter to 2% in the second. The slowdown was largely driven by weaker Canadian exports to China, reflecting the impact<\/a> of Chinese counter tariffs on Canadian agricultural goods.<\/p>\n
