At a Friday news conference on April 18 in Niagara Falls, with the Canadian election coming up on April 28, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters that Canada has to counter Chinese foreign interference threats. He also criticized China’s partnership with Russia amid the Ukraine conflict, calling it a threat to regional stability in Asia, Reuters reported. Carney claimed China poses the biggest threat “from a geopolitical sense.”
“We’re taking action to address it,” Carney added. He named China’s role in the Arctic, which is a “direct challenge to Canadian sovereignty.”
