Chinese customs has said that all beef and beef products from Canada will be stopped from coming in but hides will continue to be eligible for import.
According to Statistics Canada, the country’s beef exports to China in 2020 were over 100 million dollars while South Korea’s exports were just over 45 million dollars.
