Interference smear sticks to its maker

China Daily  

Chinese Embassy in Canada. The Chinese embassy in Canada has expressed Beijing's strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the allegation that China poses the "most persistent and sophisticated" foreign interference threat to Canada. The accusation made by Canada's Foreign Interference Commission in a report released on Friday is groundless, it being nothing more than a fabrication for political purposes. The latest example is that even though the US intelligence community confirms that there is no evidence showing China funding the ongoing student protests on the Palestinian question in the United States, some US politicians still keep on tirelessly spreading the unfounded claim. Both Canada and the US are constantly trying to undermine China's security and stability by overtly and covertly condoning and supporting separatist activities in Taiwan, Xinjiang, Xizang and Hong Kong.
