China bans all Canadian meat : report

China has suspended all Canadian meat exports to China as per latest media reports. This is a surprising move that came amidst a diplomatic dispute with Canada, which was over the December arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver.

The latest Chinese move comes as Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is set to depart Wednesday for a G20 leaders' summit in Japan.

The embassy said in a statement to The Canadian Press on Tuesday that this latest move follows Chinese customs inspectors' detection of residue from a restricted feed additive, called ractopamine, in a batch of Canadian pork products. The additive has permitted uses in Canada but is banned in China.
