China says lifting of meat ban not a sign of better relations with Canada

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Chinese government says Ottawa-Beijing relations will only improve when Canada releases Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, rejecting the notion that a lifting of a ban on meat imports is a sign of a thaw in Sino-Canadian ties.

“We urge the new Canadian government to face up to China's solemn position and concerns, release Ms. Meng Wanzhou at once, ensure her safe return to China and take concrete actions to move our relations back onto the right track.” Mr. Geng, however, cast the ban removal as a response to Canada fixing “safety loopholes” in its meat export system.

In what was widely seen as retaliation, China locked up two Canadians shortly after Ms. Meng was taken into custody in Canada. Former diplomat Michael Kovrig and entrepreneur Michael Spavor remain incarcerated and have been accused of espionage. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland described China’s actions as “arbitrary detentions” of the two men while her Parliamentary Secretary Robert Oliphant characterized the measures as “targeted abductions.
