Trudeau Alleges China's Failed Meddling in Canada's Elections

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified that China attempted to meddle in the past two Canadian elections, but he asserted that the results were not affected and that it was unlikely Beijing preferred any one party over another. The commission conducting the inquiry was set up last year under pressure from opposition legislators, and Canada's domestic spy agency has stated that China "clandestinely and deceptively interfered" in both elections. The Chinese embassy in Canada has strongly denied these allegations, stating that China has never had any interest in interfering in Canada's internal affairs.
