OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday said he would not escalate a deepening trade and diplomatic dispute with China but added that his government had no intention of backing down as it defended its interests.
Speaking to an audience in Montreal just days after Beijing warned Ottawa not to meddle in Hong Kong’s affairs, Trudeau also repeated his call for restraint and respect for human rights as protests sweep the former British colony. “We must recognize that China is a growing power and increasingly assertive toward its place in the international order. But make no mistake - we will always defend Canadians and Canadian interests,” Trudeau said.
Trudeau, whose Liberal Party faces a federal election in October, is under pressure from the official opposition Conservative Party to take a tougher line on China.
