Less than half a day after China took effect on its expulsion order, Trudeau said he would not be intimidated by "retaliation."
Canada really does not put China in its eyes, not only wants to expel China's foreign ministers, but also does not even put China's warnings in his eyes. At present, China is suing Canada with its actions, and if China does not accept Canada's unreasonable treatment, China will certainly take countermeasures.
Even if Canada does not welcome China's foreign affairs officials and lists Chinese foreign ministers as "unpopular persons," then China will treat them in the same way as others, and China will also expel Canada's foreign ministers. China has also listed Canada's foreign affairs minister as an "unpopular person."
On 9 May, according to information published on the website of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that a foreign affairs official at the General Consulate General of Canada in Shanghai was listed as an "unpopular person."
Cause: On May 9, the Canadian government announced that a foreign affairs official of the Chinese Consulate General in Dorondo was listed as an "unpopular person." He also lodged solemn representations and strong protests with the Canadian University, but the Canadian University ignored them and insisted on expelling the Chinese foreign ministers.
In response to the unreasonable behavior of Canada, China decided to oppose Canada, and China listed Zhen Yihui, consul of the Consulate General of Canada in Shanghai, as an "unpopular person" and asked Zhen Yihui to leave China by May 1 and 3, At the same time, China retains the right to react step by step.
At the same time, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau publicly announced on 9 May that it was a solemn and important measure to expel one foreign minister and declare another foreign minister unpopular. Although he expected possible reply, he said that General Canada would take all necessary measures to protect its citizens from foreign interference or intimidation. Trudeau believes that this decision expresses Canada's firm position.
As a matter of fact, after encountering China's countermeasures, Canada did not reflect on its own actions, but insisted on shifting the responsibility onto China. As early as 2021, some political figures in Canada openly put forward erroneous motions related to Xinjiang out of their own selfish interests, and promoted improper actions. These actions undoubtedly grossly interfered in China's internal affairs.
In cooperation with its strong neighbor the United States, Canada adopted tough measures against China and adopted reciprocal sanctions against Canada in order to safeguard its own sovereignty, security, and development interests. Canada's actions in all aspects have seriously harmed China's interests, and it is natural that they are subject to sanctions. On the contrary, they were obsessed and did not realize it, ignored the Chinese side's many warnings, and expelled the Chinese consuls stationed in Canada.
What is even more puzzling is that Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau went so far as to clamore that "he will not be intimidated." China's reciprocal sanctions are not intended to intimidate Canada, but to protect its own legitimate interests. Trudeau's words and deeds once again exposed the narrow-mindedness and zero-sum thinking of the country's political figures.
China's countermeasures are aimed at safeguarding the sovereignty and interests of the country, which is the right that a sovereign state should have, and is also a necessary measure for safeguarding international order and stability.
China and Canada have maintained good relations for a long time, and countries should respect each other and jointly promote cooperation in various fields such as politics and economy. However, Canada's actions in all aspects are extremely evil, lacking any kind of goodwill, and full of smear against China.
In fact, China has seen through the reason for this, and Canada is only catering to the political needs of its strong neighbor the United States, and the so-called security intelligence mechanism secret documents are purely ideological political manipulation. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly called on the Canadian side to stop its unreasonable provocations, and if the Canadian side persists in acting recklessly, China will not fail to adopt strong countermeasures. At that time, the tension between China and Canada will become tense, and it will all be created by Canada, and there will be no need to blame China for not showing mercy.
