Canada expels Chinese diplomat amid growing feud.

TL;DR Summary
Canada has expelled a Chinese diplomat, Zhao Wei, after he was accused of being involved in a campaign to intimidate a Canadian opposition legislator critical of Beijing. The move comes after the Globe and Mail newspaper reported earlier this month that China had sought information about any relatives of a Canadian legislator "who may be located" within its borders. The accusations have led to renewed tensions between Ottawa and Beijing. The two countries have had frosty relations for several years over a range of issues, including human rights, trade, and the arrests of Canadian and Chinese citizens.
