The 2021 election saw several Conservative MPs say they were targeted after they spoke out against China.All of which explain why the current Liberal government waited five days to expel Zhao. The repercussions are real, and they will come. The question is whether the prime minister, and by extension, the business, political, and academic class will have the fortitude to weather them.
