Canada issues ‘cease and desist’ warning to China over ‘police stations’ in Ottawa
China accused of illegal activities but Beijing embassy says locations are merely ‘service stations’ to renew driver’s licenses
Canada has summoned Beijing’s ambassador following reports of a network of illegal Chinese “police stations” in the country, after warnings that Ottawa is prepared to take more action if China refuses to “cease and desist” from its alleged activities.
Speaking to the Canada-China committee on Tuesday evening, Weldon Epp, director general of north Asia for Canada’s foreign ministry, said he knew of “several engagements” by the federal government with China, including repeatedly summoning the ambassador, Cong Peiwu.
