Ottawa: Chinese diplomat to Canada, Zhao Wei, has been expelled for allegedly interfering in internal affairs.
According to global media reports, the Chinese diplomat accused of criticizing Conservative MP Michael Chong and threatening his family in Hong Kong was described as an ‘unacceptable figure’ by Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly.
“We have made it clear that we will not tolerate any kind of foreign interference in our internal affairs,” Melanie Joly said. Diplomats in Canada have been warned that they will be sent home if they engage in this type of behaviour.
The foreign minister added that the decision to expel Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei has been taken after considering all factors.
