China Expels Canadian Diplomat in Retaliation for Expulsion of Chinese Official Accused of Foreign Interference

Canada expelled a Chinese diplomat for allegedly threatening a Canadian lawmaker critical of China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims.
In response, China expelled a Canadian diplomat and vowed to take "resolute countermeasures."
The expulsions follow years of diplomatic tensions between Canada and China over various issues including the arrest of a Huawei executive and China's detention of two Canadians.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated Canada would continue to protect Canadians from foreign interference.
The Chinese government denied the allegations of interference and called them "totally groundless."
