WASHINGTON/OTTAWA: China sharply criticized Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's comment that linked Chinese-produced lithium to slave labour, and warned Canada could face consequences if it continues"denigrating maliciously" the human rights situation in China.

"We urge Canada to take a hard look at itself in the mirror, deeply repent its wrongdoing, and take concrete steps to address its own serious human rights problems," the embassy said.
