A Conservative Party motion to revive the special committee on Canada-China relations was adopted in the House of Commons on Monday despite opposition from the ruling Liberal Party.

“Beijing’s communist government continues to threaten and target pro-democracy and human rights advocates in the Chinese community here in Canada. Beijing’s communist leadership also poses a threat to Canada’s national interest and security, as well as to our values,” says a Conservative Party statement released after the vote.
