Loading ...CANADA – Beijing Has More Diplomats in Montreal Alone Than All of France: Federal Figures
In a report titled “Diplomatic, Consular & Other Representatives In Canada,” GAC listed all active foreign diplomats in the country as of March 31, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
Beijing has more diplomats in the city of Montreal than in all of France, while Canada hosts just 23 fewer Chinese diplomats than the United States, according to recent figures from Global Affairs Canada (GAC).
The report said that as of the end of March, GAC had accredited 138 Chinese diplomats across Canada—one of whom was Zhao Wei, the Chinese consul in Toronto expelled by the federal government earlier this month after reports that he had targeted members of Conservative MP Michael Chong’s family in Hong Kong.
Beijing also had 30 diplomats—now 29 excluding Zhao—stationed at its Toronto consulate, 21 stationed in Vancouver, and 12 in Calgary.
