Chinese made vehicles are limited to 49000/year only. 2.5% of Canadian market.

For now. The quota increases every year.

And it’s very likely that If the orange idiot keeps threatening 50% tariffs on Canadian goods Ike he is now every two weeks then Canada will just drop the quota and open the floodgates.

This has happened over and over, really. See also: Hyundai and Kia.
