TL;DR Summary

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said his country "will not be intimidated" by China after Beijing expelled a Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move linked to allegations of Chinese interference. Trudeau's government expelled a Chinese diplomat based in Toronto, Zhao Wei, from the country this week after "careful consideration". Hours later, Beijing announced it would expel Jennifer Lynn Lalonde, the Canadian consul in Shanghai, in a "reciprocal countermeasure". The move comes amid frosty relations between the two countries, including the detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou and the arrest of two Canadians on spying charges.
