Prime Minister Mark Carney says Beijing doesn’t understand how seriously Canadians take issues of foreign interference, after raising them with Chinese President Xi Jinping. “We had a discussion on foreign interference,” Carney told reporters Saturday before leaving the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Gyeongju, South Korea. “I don’t think they recognize the level of concerns we have about these issues, but we manage these issues in Canada; we have a structure to manage them.” Carney added the meeting was “to establish that relationship at the highest level for the first time in eight years” to unlock eventual gains, which he suggested is how change is done “in that system.” He added that the meetings are a “turning point.”
