A Liberal MP says he is expecting more Chinese diplomats to be expelled from Canada after the recent expulsion of Zhao Wei, who was reportedly involved in targeting Conservative MP Michael Chong and threatening his family members in Hong Kong.

“These people bear no relationship to diplomats,” said John McKay, also chair of the Standing Committee of National Defence. “They’re not really interested in persuading you, they’re interested in intimidating you.”
