Canada has expelled a Chinese diplomat for allegedly interfering in internal affairs and targeting a member of the legislature.
According to news agencies, Canada has expelled Toronto-based Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei following an intelligence report.
Canadian officials say Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei tried to target a Canadian lawmaker critical of China’s policies.
Canada’s Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie has said in her statement that we will not tolerate any foreign interference in our internal affairs.
He warned Canadian-based diplomats that they would be sent home if they were found to be engaging in such behaviour.
On the other hand, the Chinese government has rejected Canada’s allegations and condemned the expulsion of its diplomat.
The Chinese embassy protested to the Canadian government and said that China will respond strongly to this act of Canada.
According to news agencies, the former foreign policy adviser of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Professor Roland Paris, says that China can also expel a Canadian diplomat based on the actions of the Canadian government.
