CHINA-CANADA: CANADIAN PARLIAMENT VOTES UNANIMOUSLY TO DECLARE ATROCITIES IN XINJIANG AS "GENOCIDE"
|
The Canadian Parliament overwhelmingly voted in favour of declaring the atrocities in the Xinjiang genocide. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau abstained from voting on the motion, which passed 266-0. The Canadian Parliament adopted a motion calling on the Trudeau government to declare that China has committed "genocide" in Xinjiang and calling for a countermeasure to the 2022 Winter Olympics. China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a press conference on February 23, that China strongly condemns and firmly opposes a Xinjiang-related motion of Canada's House of Commons, and has lodged stern representations with Canada.
