Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Wednesday that allegations of China’s interference in Canada’s elections are “ridiculous.” During a regular media briefing in Beijing, she said that “We have no interest in and will not interfere in Canada's internal affairs.”
Canadian media have recently published detailed reports, citing anonymous intelligence sources, alleging schemes run by China to interfere in Canada's elections in 2021 and 2019.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday that he will appoint an independent special investigator to probe alleged election interference by China and also announced separate new probes into the suspected foreign meddling.
Amid reports that Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen will meet U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the U.S., Ning also said China was "seriously concerned" and had asked Washington for clarification.
