Conservative MP Michael Chong told a parliamentary committee he has received multiple personal threats in recent years—in addition to those directed against his family overseas—that he believes were orchestrated by Beijing.

Chong told the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (PROC) on May 16 that he did not want to elaborate in detail on the nature of the threats and could not say for certain if they were from Beijing, but acknowledged there were more than one.
