BBC reported that the Canadian government has expelled a Toronto-based Chinese diplomat who was allegedly involved in a scheme to intimidate a member of parliament.
China is accused of seeking to target lawmaker Michael Chong and his relatives in Hong Kong after he accused China of human rights abuses.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly declared diplomat Zhao Wei a “persona non grata” in a statement on Monday.
China’s embassy in Ottawa said it condemns the expulsion.
