Canadian parliamentarians visit Taiwan in show of support amid Chinese 'bullying'
A delegation of senior parliamentarians from all four of Canada's main federal parties is in Taiwan this week to show support for the island as it faces the threat of a Chinese invasion.
"Ukraine has forced people to choose sides, to see who your friends are," he said. "In some respects, Taiwan's bullying by China is forcing everyone to choose sides." The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa also warned last fall of "resolute and forceful measures" after a different group of Canadian lawmakers announced plans to visit Taiwan. That visit went ahead as scheduled.
"In the face of continued authoritarian expansionism, it is critical that democracies stand united," she said. The visit also coincides with reports of Chinese interference and espionage campaigns in Canada, including alleged attempts to influence elections and steal intellectual property. China also arbitrarily detained two Canadians for more than 1,000 days.
Asked about the delegation's visit during an event in Winnipeg on Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it is important for Canada to show its support for democratic values and principles around the world.
