奧圖爾勒令華使叢培武道歉 Erin O’Toole demands China’s ambassador to Canada to publicly apologise to Canadians, or be kicked out

早前中國大使叢培武就加拿大接收香港難民一事表示加拿大干涉中国內政，並恐嚇指有三十萬加拿大在中国控制的香港，因而被加拿大國際事務官員傳召要求解釋。就此保守黨黨魁奧圖爾要求叢培武道歉，否則渥太華應驅逐此人出境。

Canada’s Global Affairs officials summoned China’s top diplomat in Canada for a private dressing down Thursday after remarks he made warning Canada against offering political asylum to Hong Kong democracy activists.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says if Ambassador Cong Peiwu does not publicly apologize for his “belligerent” comments, which O’Toole called a threat to Canadians, Ottawa should kick him out.

相較自由黨政府回應叢培武於周四在加中建交五十周年之網上新聞發佈會警告加拿大毋助長香港「暴徒」氣焰、不得干涉中国內政之言論，奧圖爾於周五之聲明明顯態度強硬。奧圖爾表示假若叢氏拒絕道歉，總理杜魯多應即刻註銷叢氏之大使身份，並指叢氏此舉乃逾矩挑釁、煽風點火，明顯脅持在港三十萬加人。

In a statement on Friday, O’Toole took a much harder line than the Liberal government did — at least publicly — to comments made by Cong in a virtual news conference Thursday on the 50th anniversary of Canada-China diplomatic ties. That’s when Cong warned Canada against emboldening Hong Kong “criminals” and against interfering in China’s internal affairs.

O’Toole said if no apology is offered, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should immediately withdraw Cong’s diplomatic credentials.

“The Chinese ambassador has decided to engage in belligerent rhetoric unbecoming of his office,” said O’Toole. “To be clear, this was a threat to the 300,000 Canadians in Hong Kong. And a barely veiled one at that.”

奧圖爾重申，他持續要求自由黨政府加快批核尋求庇護的港人，以及落實針對中港官員的馬肯尼茨基式制裁，尤以推動嚴厲國安法者，而此舉明顯違反有國際法律效力之中英聯合聲明。

O’Toole repeated long-standing calls on the Liberal government to expedite entry to Canada for pro-democracy protestors and political refugees fleeing Hong Kong and to impose sanctions under the Magnitsky Act, which target officials individually for human rights violations, “against those responsible for imposing a draconian national security law” in Hong Kong, which he said violates the Sino-British Joint Declaration, an international treaty.
