Citing anonymous security sources, Global alleged the MP spoke about Two Michaels with a Chinese diplomat in February 2021.
Global News, which did not immediately respond to requests for comment, has also published allegations that Dong benefited from Chinese foreign interference in the Canadian electoral process.
Dong did not immediately respond to questions about his lawyer’s identity, or whether he has filed a statement of claim in court to formally launch legal proceeedings. “The trauma left on my father is one of the compelling reasons why, as co-chair of the Canada-China Legislative Association and a member of Parliament, I took every available opportunity to advocate on behalf of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor and to call for their immediate release,” he said.
