On May 8, Canada announced the expulsion of Zhao Wei, the consul at the Chinese consulate in Toronto, for assisting domestic state security authorities in investigating information about the family of Canadian MP Michael Chong, and on May 9, China announced reciprocal retaliation by expelling a diplomat from the Canadian consulate in Shanghai.
The last time China was embroiled in a diplomatic expulsion war with another country was during the crazy era of the Cultural Revolution. This is the first time since the reform and opening-up policy.
Why is China involved in a diplomatic expulsion war once again after 50 years?
