China is one of Canada's largest trading partners, as seen by the amount of shipping goods from China to Canada, and vice versa. Bilateral trade between the two countries includes a wide range of goods such as natural resources (e.g., energy, minerals, lumber), agricultural products, machinery, electronics, and consumer goods. Both countries have benefited from the expansion of trade ties, although trade imbalances and disputes have also arisen in certain sectors.
