BEIJING: China slammed what it called"groundless slander and defamation" by Canada on Friday , after Ottawa summoned Beijing's ambassador over accusations a Chinese diplomat sought to intimidate a Canadian lawmaker and his family.
The newspaper, citing classified documents and an anonymous security source, said China's intelligence agency had planned to target Chong and his relatives in Hong Kong with sanctions for having voted in February 2021 for a motion condemning Beijing's conduct in Xinjiang province as genocide. Beijing firmly reiterated its denial of any wrongdoing on Friday, insisting the scandal had been"hyped up by some Canadian politicians and media".Citing previous disagreements between the two countries that had"seriously damaged China's interests", she also said,"It is entirely legitimate and necessary for China to respond forcefully".
