Conservative member of Parliament Michael Chong says Ottawa should have informed him about potential threats to his family made by China\u2019s government.
Chong released a statement after the Globe and Mail reported, citing a top-secret document and an anonymous national security source, that China\u2019s intelligence service sought to target the MP and his family. The former cabinet minister currently serves as the Tories\u2019 foreign-affairs critic and routinely criticizes the regime in Beijing for its human-rights record and its alleged attempts to meddle in Canada\u2019s affairs. Chong says in a statement today that like other Canadians, he has family overseas \u2014 and any attempts to threaten them in an attempt to intimidate or coerce people in Canada constitutes a national threat. Chong says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service never briefed him about any threats made against him or his family, adding he believes that is because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u2019s office did not authorize such a warning.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
