China warned its citizens on Monday to exercise caution in travelling to Canada, citing "frequent violent actions" by law enforcement, amid ongoing tensions between Beijing and Ottawa.

The stark lesson to be learned from Hong Kong and China’s many aggressions is that it makes its own rules. Canada has been a notoriously slow learner, Matthew Fisher says.

Justin Trudeau was correct to pledge he would not intervene in Meng Wanzhou's extradition case in return for Beijing releasing Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, says Roy Green.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian, accused the countries of trying to interfere with China's judicial independence.

China told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday to ``stop making irresponsible remarks'' after he said Beijing's decision to charge two Canadians with spying was linked to his country's arrest of a Chinese tech executive.

China will likely convict the two Michaels, then keep them in prison until some kind of deal can be arranged, Matthew Fisher says.

Statements from Chinese prosecutors Friday said the charges were reached after "legal review."

François-Philippe Champagne owes a state-owned Chinese bank $1.2 million. Rob Breakenridge says the foreign minister needs to do something about that or resign.

If Canada truly supports democracy in Hong Kong, it must move far beyond pointless palaver about how China should 'talk more' with the people there, Matthew Fisher says.

Canadians want Justin Trudeau to get tough on China, Matthew Fisher says. 'If the prime minister is not brave enough to do that, China may become a major election issue.'
