China Urges Canada to End ‘Cold War Mentality, Stop Unprovoked Smear Attacks’ After It Claims Beijing Is National Security Threat - FARS

The Chinese Foreign Ministry slammed comments made by Canada’s intelligence director after he stated Beijing was doing everything in its power to threaten Canada’s national security and sovereignty.

The remarks, made by David Vigneault, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), “are groundless and China firmly opposes them”, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin told reporters on Wednesday, RT reported.

Wang claimed China has never sought to interfere in the internal affairs of another country and, unlike Canada, does not make arbitrary arrests based on the will of other nations, a probable reference to Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou at Washington’s request.
