# Guy Saint-jacques – Is Trade With China Still Worth It? – C.D. Howe Institute

> C.D. Howe Institute memo by Guy Saint-Jacques questions whether trade with China is still worth pursuing amid the diplomatic crisis over Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou's extradition. It notes Canadian exports to China fell 16% in 2019 ($4.5 billion), with canola and pork hit hardest, and that exports in the first half of 2020 fell less than 1% year over year.

## Why it matters

Ongoing diplomatic tension raises the risk of non-tariff barriers on Canadian canola and pork, which can pressure canola prices and feed meal demand. Stable 2020 export flows limit the immediate price impact.
