The Conservatives have released a long list of issues the party says should be addressed with Beijing as Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly visits China, including interference issues and human rights violations.

“I hope she raises Canadians’ anger with the PRC [People’s Republic of China] messing around in our elections,” Conservative MP and foreign affairs critic Michael Chong wrote in a July 18 social media post. His post included a quote from the interim report of the ongoing Foreign Interference Commission.
