Canada has introduced restrictions on fully built electric vehicles from China, aiming to curb market access for Chinese automakers. However, the policy may have unintended consequences, as many of these vehicles share components with other brands that remain unaffected by the new rules. Industry analysts warn this could create loopholes, allowing Chinese-made parts to still enter the market indirectly. The move raises questions about the effectiveness of supply chain controls in shaping automotive trade dynamics.
