Analysis: China has put Canadian canola oil in the middle of a wider geopolitical dispute

Bottles of Canola Harvest oil, manufactured by the Canadian firm Richardson International, line a shelf of a Beijing grocery store on March 6, 2019. Beijing suspended shipments from Richardson International earlier this month. By Amanda Coletta March 27 at 4:53 PM TORONTO — It’s the cusp of planting season, and Canada’s canola farmers are nervous.

China, which accounts for 40 percent of Canada’s canola exports, said its reasons for blacklisting Canadian canola are “scientifically sound and reasonable.” Canada has said that Meng’s arrest was a legal matter and that it was simply following the terms of its extradition treaty with the United States. China, which promised “severe consequences” if Canada did not release Meng, arrested two Canadians in China on vague security charges in a move that is widely believed to be retaliatory. A Chinese court sentenced a third Canadian to death after a hurried retrial on drug charges.

“There is no hard evidence,” Ong said, “but there are enough precedent cases where China has punished trading partners for behavior they do not like.” It is also a Canadian invention. Plant breeders in Saskatchewan and Manitoba developed it during the 1960s and 1970s by breeding out the most undesirable traits of rapeseed. The word “canola” combines “Canada” and “ola,” which its inventors said sounded like “oil.”
