Canada expels Chinese diplomat over foreign influence allegations.

Canada has declared a Chinese diplomat "persona non grata" following allegations of political meddling, which Beijing has denied. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service found an accredited Chinese diplomat in the country had targeted opposition lawmaker Michael Chong and his relatives in China following his criticisms of Beijing's treatment of its Uyghur minorities. Beijing has denied accusations of political interference in Canada and warned of "consequences" for the expulsion. The allegations have become a growing political problem for the government of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
