Canadians should “be careful” to not criticize China: Chinese ambassador
Chinese Ambassador to Canada Cong Peiwu said in an interview with Ottawa Life Magazine that Canadians should be careful with what they say about China.
“People should be careful with their comments. China is peaceful,” said Cong.
“The fundamental principle in the relationship has been undermined by Canada. Mutual respect means we respect systems here and the choices of Canadians here, but Canadians do not respect the Chinese system. This does not work well.”
Cong’s latest comments follow a veiled threat he made in October allegedly targeting the safety of Canadians currently residing in Hong Kong.
“We strongly urge the Canadian side not (to) grant so-called political asylum to those violent criminals in Hong Kong because it is the interference in China’s domestic affairs. And certainly, it will embolden those violent criminals,” Cong said at the time.
“So, if the Canadian side really cares about the stability and the prosperity in Hong Kong, and really cares about the good health and safety of those 300,000 Canadian passport-holders in Hong Kong, and the large number of Canadian companies operating in Hong Kong SAR, you should support those efforts to fight violent crimes.”
