BEIJING (AP) — 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.
“China has been ... strictly abiding by international law and respecting all countries’ judicial sovereignty," Mao said.
The spokesperson did not comment on the existence of the police stations or whether they were operated by Chinese government authorities.
