Conservatives are criticizing Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand for saying Canada has a “strategic partnership” with China following her trip to Beijing last week.
“Last election, during the debate, the prime minister was asked to name the biggest threat to the security of Canada. He answered in one word, ‘China.’ And now, the foreign affairs minister is talking about a strategic partnership with Beijing, including security,” Chong said in the House of Commons on Oct. 23.
