Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with reporters as he makes his way to a cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, Ontario, on Thursday, November 3, 2022
CANADIAN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has claimed China is interfering in the country’s elections, based on unsubstantiated allegations by security officials.
Mr Trudeau picked up on a local news report citing unnamed sources who claimed China had organised a “clandestine network” of Beijing-backed candidates across parties.
The furore is reminiscent of the scare in Britain last January when spooks alleged a Chinese businesswoman, Christine Lee, was buying influence in Parliament, though no evidence of illegal activity was ever provided.
