Canada Takes Action Against Alleged Chinese Interference and Intimidation.
TL;DR Summary
Canada has summoned the Chinese ambassador following allegations that Beijing threatened an opposition party legislator and his family. The Canadian Foreign Minister has warned that all options, including expulsion of diplomats, remain on the table as they consider the consequences for this behaviour. The China-Canada relationship has been frosty for several years, especially after Canadian authorities detained Huawei Technologies executive Meng Wanzhou in 2018 on a US arrest warrant. The standoff ended when all three people were released in 2021, but relations have remained sour over several points of contention, including human rights and trade.
