China is calling out Canada’s meat as foul while Canada suspects foul play.

The international dispute between the two countries is escalating as the quality of food products from Canada comes into question.

On Wednesday, Chinese inspectors said Canadian pork contains an additive that is banned in China. That resulted in the stoppage of all Canadian meat shipments into the country. Canada insists the matter requires further investigation.

The meat spat follows a dispute between the two countries over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.

On today’s episode of Wait, There’s More, host Tamara Khandaker speaks with John Keogh, founder and managing principal of Shantalla Inc., who breaks down Canada’s actions up to date. Yves Tiberghein, the director emeritus of the Institute of Asian Research at the University of British Columbia, also speaks about potential links between the current situation and disputes between Canada and China.
