OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday denied a media report from last week saying his office had been warned by Canada’s spy agency to drop a Liberal candidate, who is now a member of parliament, because he had Beijing’s support.
The Chinese government preferred Han Dong, a Chinese-Canadian, over another Chinese Canadian Liberal, who was passed over in favour of Han, said Global News, citing anonymous security sources in a story posted online.
Justin Trudeau is now insinuating that anyone who believes the Global News reporting about Han Dong and has questions about Chinese election interference is actually stoking "anti-Asian racism." pic.twitter.com/xCwYyxGZbo
