The consulate accused Kenney of wilfully ignoring the ‘facts’ in an effort to appease U.S. President Donald Trump with anti-China rhetoric

JASON FRANSON/The Canadian Press

The consulate appears to be responding to a story by The Canadian Press published by the Calgary Herald last Thursday about Kenney’s remarks at a virtual round table of the Canadian American Business Council.The premier cautioned that China will soon face a “great reckoning” for downplaying the dangers posed by the novel coronavirus when it first emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.

During last week’s round table, Kenney accused China of working to suppress early evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus, including misleading and stonewalling the World Health Organization. Kenney told the council that China’s “significant role” in the global public health crisis and its devastating economic fallout cannot go without consequences.“Western countries, including Canada and the United States, must have a reset in their relationship with China – and part of that reset, in my judgment, must be a deliberate effort to onshore production, particularly on critical supplies,” he said.

The consulate rejected the notion that it’s adopted a more aggressive “wolf-warrior diplomacy” in response to Western criticisms of its handling of the COVID-19 outbreak.

A true leader would question the behaviour of communist China

The Chinese Consulate can eat my Albertan shorts, choke on them, and die.

Keep going China and you’ll get Prime Minister Kenney

China is in no position to deny, scold, scoff or criticize anybody. Every finger points to their wet market as the source or origin of the coronavirus. Who all will the guilty attempt to silence? Criticism instead of an apology? We’ve done this to ourselves. We’re not racist.

New article title: “China throws child tantrum and criticizes Alberta Premier”

China never takes Canada seriously. Its Foreign Minister Wang Yi had once shown it to our reporters in Ottawa already. Issues of human rights are their taboos & we’d better not raise them to China. What are the values Canada embraces then? How to make them take us more seriously?

Trudeau govt is a coward in dealing with China so far. What is Canada afraid of? They need our beef & pork a lot. Of course our global community must hold China responsible for causing this plague. Never kowtow to dictatorship; show them we’re “The True North strong and free”!

CCPVirus CCP_is_terrorist CCPstfu

At least Kenny calls a spade a spade, that’s more than what I’m hearing from Ottawa!

Oh well. Boo fucking hoo to them.

Shows the shortcomings of Chinese revolutionary teachings, that the way of the world is not to go against anything one considers negative criticism, as Mao Zedong was famous for saying 'whatever the enemy is for, we are against'. People one trades with are not enemies. .........

I would take it as a badge of honour and courage.

Fuck China

Dont be cowed by a dictatorship, Alberta. Speak your mind. Speak Truth to Power.

Canadians should run Chinese people in Chinatown and run them out of Canada. They release virus on us

fuckchina

This virus is a Chinese biological weapon. Trudeau sending money to a Chinese virus laboratory is an act of treason. Canada needs to wake up.

lLiberateChina from EvilCCP

Thank god Canadian media is on the side of a a Canadian politician who joins the world in condemning China over delaying announcing the pandemic, hoarding PPE around the world and denying western scientists access to China...(unlike Trudeau)

Jack Bauer is coming for him just like his comrade in Israel too.

Ya, those bloody Chinese government forgot - that the truth can kick u in the butt!

The Chinese consulate can CRITICIZE Kenney all they like The facts don’t change and when it comes to China those facts show a history of espoionge, lies, abuse and theft in Canada alone
