“We will continue to do everything necessary to keep Canadians protected from foreign interference.” “We understand there is retaliation but we will not be intimidated,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said after the Chinese move. The Canadian Embassy in Beijing had no immediate comment on the expulsion order. It said Jennnifer Lynn Lalonde, the top Canadian diplomat in the business hub of Shanghai, has been asked to leave by May 13 and that China “reserves the right to take further actions in response.” The Foreign Ministry said China was deploying a “reciprocal countermeasure to Canada’s unscrupulous move,” which it said it “firmly opposes.” China announced the expulsion of a Canadian diplomat on Tuesday in retaliation for Ottawa ordering a Chinese consular official to leave the country over alleged threats he made against a Canadian lawmaker and his family.
