China has ordered the removal of Jennifer Lynn Lalonde, Canada’s diplomat in its Shanghai Consulate.

As Canada ordered China’s diplomat Zhao Wei to leave the country on monday, in accusation for trying to intimidate a Canadian MP, China in retaliation ordered the removal of Canadian diplomat.

After the removal order of Canadian diplomat, China has issued a statement saying,”China reserves the right to further react”.

Both diplomats have five days to exit the countries.

Canada had accused China of targeting its opposition lawmaker Michael Chong and his relatives in Hong Kong after Mr Chong accused China of human rights abuses.
