When Canada considers whether the Chinese government intervenes its election issues, a public investigation is launched, and the Chinese ambassador to Canada Cong Peiwu urges Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau to avoid further "provocation".
According to Reuters, Cong Peiwu said on Friday (May 19) that Canada should consider returning to a more independent foreign policy, instead of following its neighboring countries and the United States.
Cong Peiwu said in an interview: "We want to see the relationship between the two countries return to the right track, but it depends on the Canadian party to ensure that they will correct their errors and do not make any further provocation or confrontation."
China and Canada have frequently appeared in diplomatic storms since 2018.Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested by the Canadian police on December 1, 2018 when he transferred to Vancouver on December 1, 2018.On December 10 of the same year, the Chinese National Security Department arrested Canadian citizen Kangmingkai and Spiever for suspected of hazarding China's national security activities.Relations between the two countries have fallen into a trough.At the end of 2021, Meng Wanzhou returned to China, and Kang Mingkai and Spaf were released from prison.
Cong Peiwu said that he hoped that the Canadian government could "learn lessons" from this dispute. "Unfortunately, this time they still did something about provoking us and destroying relations between the two countries."
