Following a recent media article reporting that Zhao Wei, a Chinese consul in Toronto, was involved in threatening Conservative MP Michael Chong’s family members in Hong Kong, there have been calls to expel Zhao from Canada. Here is what we know about him.
Zhao is a designated consular officer with the Chinese Consulate in Toronto, according to Global Affairs Canada. The consulate’s website and news release archives list him as team leader of the “Consular and Overseas Chinese Affairs Division.” He has held that position as early as November 2018.
