Canada-China diplomatic feud escalates with expulsions and targeting of lawmaker.

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country will not be intimidated by China after Beijing expelled its Canadian diplomat from the consulate in Shanghai. The move comes after Canada ousted Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei from his post after he was found to have been involved in an intimidation ploy that targeted Canadian lawmaker Michael Chong and his family in Hong Kong. The two nations have seen relations further deteriorate in a recent diplomatic tit-for-tat spat. Trudeau shot back at China's response and said, "We understand there is retaliation, but we will not be intimidated, we will continue to do everything necessary to keep Canadians protected from foreign interference."
