“Canada is an active part of an important mission in the North Pacific to ensure that the sanctions applied to North Korea are properly enforced and the fact that China would have chosen to do this is extremely troubling. We will be bringing it up directly with Chinese officials and counterparts and ensuring that this doesn't continue to be part of an escalatory pattern.”

“We've been competing and China has been, from time to time, very cleverly playing us off each other in an open market, competitive way. We need to do a better job of working together and standing strong so China can't play the angles and divide us one against the other.”

“The Meng Wanzhou incident is completely different in essence from the two Canadians' cases. The Meng Wanzhou incident is a political frame-up and persecution against a Chinese citizen, an act designed to hobble Chinese high-tech companies. Now Ms. Meng Wanzhou has returned to China safe and sound. Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, suspected of committing crimes endangering national security of China, applied for release on bail for medical reasons. After the confirmation from related departments and diagnosis of professional medical institutes of China and under the guarantee of the Canadian ambassador to China, the Chinese courts concerned decided to release them on bail in accordance with law and national security authorities enforced the decision. We noticed that after relevant information came out on September 25, many Canadian media outlets pointed out that the Meng Wanzhou incident is full of politics and void of the rule of law, and that the Canadian side should not have done the dirty work for the US. Canada should draw lessons and start from its own interests. As for the timing, I want to point out that the groundless detention of Meng Wanzhou is a serious mistake made by the US and Canada, which they should have corrected long ago.”

“The relaxation of positions by both sides is a positive but limited development in China-U.S. relations and is less than significant in the big scheme of things. There is no indication that Washington is going to soften on the trade war. I don't see China immediately relaxing trade restrictions against Canada either.”

“China ... up until now, has said that there's been no linkage between the two, but by putting them on the plane tonight, they've clearly acknowledged that this was hostage-taking. It reminds me of the swaps you used to have of spies in the Cold War.”

“[I'm] pretty surprised, I must say, because China's been saying for the last many, many months that the cases were not related. Of course, we all knew that they were, and now it's proof that they were.”

“These two men [Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor] have gone through an unbelievably difficult ordeal. For the past 1,000 days, they have shown strength, perseverance, resilience and grace. There is going to be time for analysis and reflection in the coming days and weeks, but the fact of the matter is, I know Canadians will be incredibly happy to know right now, this Friday night, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor are on a plane and they're coming home.”

“You would get the plea by Meng Wanzhou and then at some later date we would see the two Michaels deported back to Canada, but I would not expect it to follow in a matter of days. This would be a negotiation involving Canada but it would be principally between the U.S. and China.”

“The so-called support from the US and its allies further proved that those countries have been colluding with each other on containing China, which only makes the situation worse as China will not yield to political coercion. Trudeau is in an embarrassing position given the current dilemma with two Michaels [Michael Spavor, Michael Kovrig], facing opposition domestically and internationally, which shows that he lacks political wisdom. If he can't properly handle this dilemma, it would only cast a shadow over the upcoming election.”

“Trudeau should know his government's choice of being a US running dog is the reason behind the frosty bilateral ties and following allies' steps to pressure China won't put an end to the dilemma of the China-Canada relationship. Canada's attempt to pressure China by using 'Megaphone Diplomacy' or ganging up is totally futile and will only head toward a dead end.”

“China's conviction and sentencing of Michael Spavor is absolutely unacceptable and unjust. The verdict for Mr Spavor comes after more than two-and-a-half years of arbitrary detention, a lack of transparency in the legal process and a trial that did not satisfy even the minimum standards required by international law.”

“China's sanctions against Canadian parliamentarians and democratic institutions are unacceptable and an attack on transparency and freedom of expression. The Government of Canada stands with parliamentarians and all Canadians as we continue to work with partners in defence of democracy and freedom of speech and will continue to take action when international human rights obligations are violated. We need to stand together to remind those who violate human and democratic rights that the world is watching.”

“This is gross interference [diplomats from more than two dozen countries gathered at the Beijing Court on Monday while Michael Kovrig was heading to the court, drawn by Canada according to Hua] in China's judicial sovereignty. China is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to this, and will never accept it. Chinese courts fully protect their litigious rights. Because the case involves state secrets, the courts held the trial in private, in accordance with the law, which is beyond reproach. We have noted that the Criminal Law of Canada clearly stipulates that the Canadian judge has the right to decide to hold the relevant case in private for the purpose of safeguarding national security.”

“More than one million Uighurs and other Turkic Muslims are or have been in camps. The testimonies we've heard from witnesses and survivors [have] been horrifying. There's real suffering going on in China. There's a genocide happening and Canadians, while we're free traders and I'm very proud to be a free-market party, our values are not for sale.”
