BEIJING (AP) — China has actually revealed the expulsion of a Canadian diplomat in retaliation for Ottawa’s purchasing a Chinese consular authorities to leave over supposed risks he made versus a Canadian legislator and his family.
The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday said China was releasing a “reciprocal countermeasure to Canada’s unscrupulous move,” which it said it “firmly opposes.”
It said the Canadian diplomat based in the business center of Shanghai has actually been asked to leave by May 13 which China “reserves the right to take further actions in response.”
Canada previously on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s federal government is expelling a Chinese diplomat whom Canada’s spy firm declared was associated with a plot to frighten an opposition legislator and his family members in Hong Kong.
