Fresh on the heels of unveiling a new Indo-Pacific Strategy to tackle issues in the region, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly says that China is breaking international norms on a daily basis.

“China works every day more and more to either violate international norms, or I would say also bend international norms in their favour,” Joly told CPAC in an interview on Dec. 14.
