Trudeau Say Canada Will Not Surrender To China's Coercive Diplomacy
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that Canada would not cave in to pressure from China and blow to its "Coercive Diplomacy" over the case of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei, who was was on a U.S. warrent and arrested while in transit through Canada two years ago.
“We don’t believe in coercive diplomacy and ... we actually deeply believe that if you start giving into that kind of pressure, you’ll leave yourself worse off for the long term.”, Trudeau said in an interview with Financial Time. “China continues to think that they can just put enough pressure on us and we will ... give in, but that’s exactly the opposite of our position,” he added.
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin denied that China was engaging in "Coercive Diplomacy" and said that Canadian and American authorities had allegedly abused the judicial process to illegally interrogate Meng Wanzhou and refused to disclose key evidence to the public, revealing the political nature of the case.
