STORY: Chinese President Xi Jinping was filmed at the G20 summit confronting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau through a translator, claiming that Trudeau had leaked details of a closed-door meeting to the media. “If it’s sincere, then we can conduct our talks with mutual respect,” Xi said. “Otherwise there would be a dubious result.” It is a rare public statement by the Chinese leader, likely related to reports that during the talks Trudeau raised “serious concerns” about alleged espionage and Chinese “interference” in the Canadian elections. Neither the Chinese Foreign Ministry, state media, nor Canadian authorities commented on the talks. However, Trudeau confirmed some of the content of the conversation to the media. The brief confrontation over the leaked information underscores tensions between the two countries. The arrest of a manager of the Chinese telecommunications supplier and hardware manufacturer Huawei in 2018 is probably responsible for this.
