According to Bloomberg journalists, Canada, the United States, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom have all encountered this problem. Two sources told the publication that Ottawa will share its findings with the G7 in the coming weeks.
Britain is seeking to coordinate its response with Canada and other G7 members, one official said, although another noted that agreeing on a response could be difficult because many countries have faced the problem at the law enforcement level and the bloc has different legal systems.
Foreign interference of any kind is absolutely unacceptable. As investigations into foreign interference in Canada continue, we will not be commenting further, said Jean-Sebastien Comeau, a spokesman for Canada’s Minister of Public Safety.
At the same time, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa predictably said that China “does not have any overseas police departments.” According to him, the centers, run by local volunteers, not police officers, help Chinese citizens restore documents and offer other services.
China adheres to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. China strictly abides by international law and respects the judicial sovereignty of all countries, the spokesman for the country’s embassy in Ottawa emphasized.
