## Resource

Canada’s exports to China surged 30% in the first half of 2026, hitting $21 billion, while imports dipped 6%, signaling a major trade realignment. Energy and minerals—especially crude oil and propane—led the charge, jumping over 80%. This shift reflects Canada’s broader strategy to reduce U.S. dependence, aided by full Trans Mountain Pipeline operations and global oil volatility. A new trade deal opened Chinese EVs in Canada in exchange for tariff relief on Canadian canola, already lifting farm prices. Though manufacturing may be moving away from China, mid-year data shows Canada is making solid progress toward its goal of boosting China exports.
