China accused Canada of not abiding by international norms Friday in response to comments from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who accused Beijing of arbitrarily detaining two Canadians.
Trudeau's remarks are"purely unfounded countercharges that confound black and white," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said.
During a livestreamed conversation with Toronto Star reporters Thursday, Trudeau said China was"using arbitrary detention as a tool to achieve political goals." The arrested Canadians, former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor, have been denied access to lawyers and their family members since Dec. 10.
