The Chinese Embassy in Canada has firmly denied recent allegations suggesting that China is attempting to interfere in Canada's upcoming federal election. In response to claims from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) regarding potential foreign meddling, the embassy labeled such accusations as baseless and lacking factual evidence.
A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy emphasized China's longstanding policy of non-interference in other nations' internal affairs. They stated, "China has never interfered in Canada's internal affairs and has no interest in doing so." This statement was made following reports that CSIS had identified possible attempts by foreign states, including China, to influence Canada's electoral process.

Both governments have expressed a desire to maintain constructive relations, yet disputes over issues such as alleged election interference continue to pose challenges.
