[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: if Canada does not listen to advice and wantonly, China will resolutely and forcefully fight back]. According to the website of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on May 9, a Foreign Ministry spokesman declared a diplomat of the Canadian Consulate General in Shanghai as an "unwelcome person." On May 9, the Canadian government announced that a diplomat from the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto was listed as an "unwelcome person". The Chinese side strongly condemns and firmly opposes this, and has made solemn representations and strong protests to Canada. In response to Canada's unreasonable acts, the Chinese side decided to take reciprocal counter-measures, including Consul Zhen Yihui of the Canadian Consulate General in Shanghai as an "unwelcome person" and asked her to leave China before May 13. The Chinese side reserves the right to make further responses. At a regular press conference held by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on the afternoon of the 9th, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said in response to a question raised by Agence France-Presse about "introducing the reasons for China's decision" that the Canadian side ignored China's solemn representations and openly declared a Chinese diplomat an "unwelcome person" on the grounds of the so-called "interference in Canada's internal affairs." The Chinese side strongly condemns and firmly opposes this. China has made solemn representations and strong protest to Canada. Wang Wenbin said: China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, and the so-called "China's interference in Canada's internal affairs" is complete nonsense, smearing China's slander and political manipulation based on ideology. The Canadian side declared Chinese diplomats as "unwelcome people" on trumped-up charges, violating the basic norms of international relations and deliberately sabotaging Sino-Canadian relations. For some time, the Canadian media and relevant dignitaries have cited the so-called secret documents of the Canadian Security Intelligence Agency to fabricate false information and discredit the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in Canada. The accusations are groundless and purely fabricated with ulterior motives. In response to Canada's unreasonable actions, the Chinese side decided to take reciprocal countermeasures, declaring the Consul General of Canada in Shanghai Zhen Yihui as an "unwelcome person" and asking her to leave China before May 13. This is a move by the Chinese side to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests, which is totally legitimate and necessary. Wang Wenbin stressed that Chinese embassies and consulates in Canada and diplomatic and consular personnel have always abided by relevant international conventions and Canadian laws and regulations and performed their duties in accordance with the law. Based on lies, the Canadian government has taken erroneous actions that seriously damage the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese diplomatic and consular personnel, and the Chinese side will never accept it. "China is unswervingly determined to safeguard its own interests." Wang Wenbin said: we advise Canada to immediately stop unreasonable provocations. If Canada does not listen to advice and act recklessly, China will fight back resolutely and forcefully, and all the consequences must be borne by Canada!
