Canadian MP Steps Down Amid Chinese Interference Claims

A canadian politician has stepped down amid allegations of interference by the chinese government.

Senator Chong currently serves as a foreign affairs commentator for the official opposition. From February to November 2006, Mr. Zhuang served as the Chairman of the Queen's Privy Council of Canada, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of Sports. He is a member of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association (CANA), the Canada-China Legislative Association (CACN), and the Canadian-American Parliamentary Union (CEUS)[3].

Mr. Chairman, Canadians have no reason to trust the Prime Minister when it comes to China, especially when it comes to trade policy. Two and a half years ago, the Prime Minister visited China to start free trade negotiations, but the negotiations ended in failure and embarrassment. However, the Prime Minister continued to side with the Chinese regime, refusing to ban Huawei from our 5G network or to speak convincingly against China’s oppression of Hong Kong. Meanwhile, the Michaels continue to suffer in Chinese prisons. That's the kind of partner the prime minister wants to negotiate a trade deal with. Can the minister tell us whether the prime minister or anyone else in his government has been negotiating a free trade agreement with China over the past six months? ? A simple yes or no is enough [3].
