China on Friday accused Canada of smearing its reputation over allegations China is secretly operating two overseas police stations in Quebec.
Canada should "stop sensationalizing and hyping the matter and stop attacks and smears on China," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a daily briefing.
Canadians of Chinese origin have been victims of activities carried out by the stations, Sgt. Charles Poirier of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Thursday. The Spanish human rights organization Safeguard Defenders says China has scores of such stations across the globe, including in the U.K. and the U.S.
Beijing has launched dual multi-year campaigns to bring suspects wanted mostly for economic crimes back to China, but says its agents overseas operate in line with international law. U.S. authorities say that has not always been the case. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the presence of Chinese police stations in Canada "concerns us enormously."
