China’s chief diplomat told Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly Friday that Beijing wants to “inject momentum into the restoration of normal relations,” but said the Asian power will brook no criticism of human-rights abuses or its menacing threats to the island democracy of Taiwan.
Foreign Minster Wang Yi sat down with Ms. Joly in Beijing to discuss what he called the “difficulties and twists and turns” in Sino-Canadian relations that have been strained for nearly six years. The trip to China by Ms. Joly was an attempt to reopen channels of dialogue.
Relations fractured after China imprisoned Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in late 2018 in retaliation for Ottawa’s detention of a senior Huawei executive on a U.S. extradition warrant. China was also angered by revelations of its extensive influence operations in Canadian domestic affairs that led to a public inquiry into foreign interference.
Bolding sections may or may not be carryover from the original article and can be confusing. People should read the article and reach their own conclusions of what’s important without influence, which you keep agreeing with me about. Altering an article is editorializing it, and last I checked this is a news community that should be posting unaltered articles.
My first post was a simple question and statement. I’m not sure what crawled up your ass this morning but there was nothing said that gave license for you to be a dick in your responses. Good day.
Nothing crawled up my ass, I’m being pretty civil here. Not sure how you’re reading it in your own head cannon, but I promise it was just conversational. Sorry if any of what I said led you to think otherwise.
The original source is still posted, bolding sections is probably the absolute least amount of “editorial” as you can get.
Just pointing out that the use of bold font in summarizing an article is pretty harmless. That’s all.
