With Canadian MPs planning a trip to Taiwan this fall, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he’s taking note of Beijing’s “increasingly aggressive” stance towards the self-ruled island and that the parliamentarians will need to take this into consideration.
“China’s belligerence around this, and their position is of course, as it has been for a while, troubling, and we will ensure that the parliamentarians making the decision to travel or not, will be done with all the reflections of the consequences and the impacts of it,” Trudeau said on Aug. 19 after making a funding announcement on Magdalen Island, Quebec.
