Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that Canada would “not be intimidated” after China expelled a Canadian diplomat in retaliation over Ottawa’s expulsion of a Chinese consular official, who Canada’s spy agency alleged was involved in a plot to target Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family in Hong Kong.
Trudeau said the decision to expel the Chinese diplomat was taken “seriously and… with careful consideration.”
Retaliations between the two nations have soured amid allegations of attempted interference in Canadian society and elections by the Chinese communist regime, but took another hit Monday when Ottawa declared the Toronto-based diplomat Zhao Wei “persona non grata.”
Calls for Zhao to be expelled began last week after the Globe and Mail reported the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) had information in 2021 that Beijing was looking at ways to intimidate Conservative MP Michaeal Chong and his relatives in Hong Kong. The federal government has confirmed that report.
