Chinese President Xi Jinping was caught protesting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over leaks of private conversations to the media.
Foreign media such as the BBC reported on the 16th (local time) that President Xi met with Prime Minister Trudeau at a banquet on the last day of the G20 summit held in Bali, Indonesia, and said, “All our talks have been u publish in the newspaper, but this is not appropriate.” .
The conversation between the two was filmed by reporters on the spot and was 56 seconds long. President Xi and Prime Minister Trudeau met face to face and exchanged conversations through interpretation.
Xi shook his head while smiling lightly, showing signs of uneasiness.
President Xi stressed, “Sincerity is necessary for fruitful discussions,” and “if not, it is difficult to talk about the consequences.”
Prime Minister Trudeau did not lose. He interrupted the translator and conveyed his point of view while staring at President Xi.
“Canada supports open, frank and open dialogue,” Trudeau said.
The smile disappeared from Xi’s face. “Let’s create those conditions first,” Xi said.
Afterwards, President Xi and Prime Minister Trudeau briefly shook hands and parted ways.
The reason there was a clash between President Xi and Prime Minister Trudeau was because a short conversation between the two leaders, which lasted about 10 minutes, was reported to the Canadian media. Canadian media reported that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discussed Ukraine while expressing concern about Chinese interference in Canada’s federal elections.
Diplomatic relations between Canada and China are also in an uncomfortable position. Relations between the two countries reached their worst in 2018 when Canada arrested Meng Wanzhou, the vice chairman of Huawei, and China arrested two Canadians on charges of espionage.
During the G20 summit, Canada arrested a Chinese employee at Hydro Quebec, an electricity company, on charges of espionage, raising tensions between the two countries again.
