OTTAWA — China is accusing Canada of hypocrisy for criticizing Beijing's human-rights record, pointing to issues faced by Indigenous Peoples.
Global Affairs Canada also says it"deplores" that authorities are issuing international bounties for Hong Kong democracy activists and former lawmakers from the territory, including Canadians. "Canada is in no position to lecture others on human rights," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a Dec. 11 press conference, according to an official translation.
A day later, she added that"the whole thing is an ugly, hypocritical political stunt done by some Canadian political figures under the pretext of human rights, to serve an unspeakable agenda and please the U.S." In a recurring assessment of human-rights issues in Canada, the United Nations noted progress had been made in Indigenous rights and housing, while urging more be done.
