/ world today news/ Today, the Canadian government announced that a Chinese diplomat from the country’s consulate in Toronto was declared “persona non grata”.
In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing strongly condemned the actions of the Canadian side and issued an official protest. At the same time, as a reciprocal measure, an employee of the Canadian consulate in Shanghai, Jennifer Lalonde, has in turn been declared “persona non grata” and must leave China by May 13.
