China hit back at Canada over accusations it was probably behind a disinformation campaign aimed at a lawmaker who has taken a hard line against Beijing, renewing tensions between the nations.
Canada said Wednesday that the Chinese government was likely behind a series of “misleading narratives” that appeared on social media about Michael Chong, a Conservative who sponsored a motion in parliament declaring that Beijing’s treatment of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang amounted to genocide.
