Xi wasn’t criticizing Trudeau during G20 confrontation, China says
In video footage published by Canadian broadcasters on Wednesday, a translator for Xi can be heard in the video telling Trudeau that “everything we discussed was leaked to the paper, that’s not appropriate.”Xi himself can be heard saying, in Mandarin, “that is not appropriate, and we didn’t do it that way.”
Xi then goes on to say “if there is sincerity, we can communicate well with mutual respect, otherwise the outcome will not be easy to tell.”Mao did not answer a question from Reuters on why this short exchange on Wednesday was set up and what Xi meant when he said “that is not appropriate, and we didn’t do it that way.
The talks were kept informal, according to a Canadian government source, explaining why no official readout was published by either side.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping after taking part in the closing session at the G20 Leaders Summit in Bali, Indonesia on Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022.

She did not say whether news of Trudeau bringing up alleged Chinese interference on Tuesday was the reason behind the recorded exchange between the two leaders the following day. The video Wednesday captured a rare candid moment for Xi Jinping, whose image is carefully curated by Chinese state media.Mao also said on Thursday that Xi saying to Trudeau: “otherwise the outcome will not be easy to tell,” was not a threat, as both leaders were engaging in a “normal” exchange and merely “expressing their respective positions.”
