Canada really does not pay attention to China, not only to expel Chinese diplomats, but also to pay attention to China's warnings, really when what China said is a joke, will not do anything to Canada, now, China will use actions to tell Canada, China does not accept Canada's unreasonable treatment, China will definitely counter.
Since Canada does not welcome Chinese diplomats and lists Chinese diplomats as "persona non grata", then China treats others as human beings, China also expelled Canadian diplomats, and China also listed Canadian diplomats as "persona non grata".
On May 9, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that a diplomat from the Canadian Consulate General in Shanghai was listed as "persona non grata," according to a message posted on the website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Cause: On May 9, the Canadian government announced that a diplomat from the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto was listed as an "persona non grata", which China strongly condemned and firmly opposed, and lodged solemn representations and strong protests with Canada, but Canada ignored it and still wanted to expel the Chinese diplomat.
China decided to counter Canada's unreasonable behavior, naming Consul General of Canada in Shanghai as an "persona non grata" and demanding that Zhen Yihui leave China by May 13, while China reserves the right to respond further.
Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly stated on May 9 that expelling one diplomat and declaring another foreign diplomat persona non grata was a serious and important measure. While anticipating possible retaliation, he said Canada would take all necessary steps to protect its citizens from foreign interference or intimidation. Trudeau believes the decision demonstrates Canada's strong position.
In fact, after being countered by China, Canada did not reflect on its own actions, but insisted on putting the blame on China. As early as 2021, some Canadian politicians publicly put forward wrong motions about Xinjiang out of selfish interests and promoted misconduct. These acts undoubtedly grossly interfere in China's internal affairs.
Canada cooperated with its strong neighbor the United States to take tough measures against China, and in order to safeguard its national sovereignty, security and development interests, China adopted reciprocal sanctions against Canada. It seems that Canada has not learned a lesson from this incident, but has been obsessed with it, ignoring China's repeated warnings and expelling Chinese consular staff in Canada.
What is even more puzzling is that Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau even clamored that "he will not be intimidated." China's reciprocal sanctions are not intended to intimidate Canada, but to safeguard its legitimate interests. Trudeau's words and actions have once again exposed the narrow-mindedness and zero-sum thinking of the country's politicians.
China's countermeasures are aimed at defending national sovereignty and interests, which is the right of a sovereign state and a necessary measure to maintain 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, the behavior of the Canadian side is very bad, lacking any goodwill, and full of malicious smears against China.
In fact, China has seen through the reason, Canada is only catering to the political needs of its strong neighbor the United States, and the so-called confidential security intelligence documents are purely ideological political manipulation. The Chinese Foreign Ministry has repeatedly called on Canada to stop unreasonable provocations, if Canada insists on acting recklessly, China will have to take strong countermeasures, when the relationship between China and Canada becomes tense, it is caused by Canada.
