Canada Expelling Chinese Diplomat over Alleged Legislator Threats 

Canada is expelling a Chinese diplomat after Zhao Wei was accused of being involved in a campaign to intimidate a Canadian opposition legislator critical of Beijing. <br />Foreign Minister Melanie Joly says the Canadian government has designated Zhao, a diplomat based in Toronto, persona non grata. <br />The Chinese government has rejected the allegations that it interfered in Canada’s internal affairs, saying last week that it has no interest whatsoever in doing so.
