Over a quarter of Chinese diplomats at a Toronto consulate have left Canada since the 2021 general election, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Updated figures on August 8 with respect to accredited staff indicate just 28 Chinese diplomats remain compared to the 38 during the last election. No reason was given for the 26 percent reduction in the report “Diplomatic, Consular And Other Representatives In Canada,” which was first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
