Justin Trudeau Expresses 'Dissatisfaction' With China After Reporter Berated

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Jun, 2016 12:52 PM
    WINNIPEG — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada has expressed its "dissatisfaction" with China after that country's foreign minister publicly berated a Canadian journalist earlier this week.
     
    Trudeau says freedom of the press is something that is very important to him and the job of the media is to ask tough questions. 
     
    In Ottawa on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi blasted a journalist from the web outlet IPolitics who asked about China's human rights record, calling the question "irresponsible."
     
    Wang appeared visibly angry as he delivered the scolding at a joint news conference with Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion.
     
    Wang said the question was full of prejudice and arrogance and was totally unacceptable.
     
    The IPolitics question was agreed to by a number of journalists representing several news organizations at the event, including The Canadian Press.
