China issued a travel warning to Canada on Monday and said bilateral ties could deteriorate further following Ottawa’s response to a controversial national security law in Hong Kong.
Last week, Canada suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong and halted exports of sensitive military equipment to the financial center as western countries worried about the impact of the country’s special rights legislation. city.
“China strongly condemns this and reserves the right to respond. Any consequences that may arise will be borne by Canada,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian during a regular media availability.
The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa issued a travel warning separately, urging its citizens to remain cautious due to “the frequent violent actions of law enforcement in Canada, which have sparked numerous protests.”
Canada has updated its travel advisory for Hong Kong so that Canadians know how the law might affect them.
Relations between Beijing and Ottawa have deteriorated since Canadian authorities arrested Huawei’s top executive, Meng Wanzhou, in December 2018, and China later arrested two Canadians, including a former diplomat.
