【オタワＡＦＰ＝時事】カナダのジャスティン・トルドー首相は中国との国交50周年を迎えた13日の会見で、中国政府の「強制外交」や香港での弾圧、新疆ウイグル自治区におけるイスラム教徒の拘束は、中国と世界にとって非生産的だと批判した。（写真はカナダの首都オタワで記者会見するジャスティン・トルドー首相）
　トルドー氏は、「わが国は中国の強制外交的な手法や、２人のカナダ国民および世界の他の国々の市民に対する恣意（しい）的拘束が成功戦術であると彼ら（中国当局）に思わせないよう同盟国と協力し、これからも全面的に取り組んでいく」と記者会見で語り、カナダは香港、そして新疆ウイグル自治区といった場所での人権保護について懸念しているとも述べた。
　さらに、「内政問題および国際情勢に対する中国の姿勢が、中国自身、そしてわれわれ全員にとって特に生産的な道ではないことを中国に理解させるため、世界の志を同じくする国々と引き続き努力していく」とも述べた。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned China on Tuesday that its coercive diplomacy, repressive measures in Hong Kong and detention of Uighur Muslims are counterproductive for itself and the rest of the world.
Trudeau took aim at Beijing's record as he marked the 50th anniversary of Canada's diplomatic ties with China.
We will remain absolutely committed to working with our allies to ensure that China's approach of coercive diplomacy, its arbitrary detention of two Canadian citizens alongside other citizens of other countries around the world is not viewed as a successful tactic by them, Trudeau said at a press conference.
He also mentioned Canada's concern for the protection of human rights and places like Hong Kong and... with the Uighurs.
He said that Canada would continue to work with our fellow like-minded nations around the world, to impress upon China that its approach to internal affairs and global affairs is not on a particularly productive path for itself or for all of us.
Canadian former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor have been held in China for nearly two years and have been charged with spying.
Canada's ambassador to China obtained virtual consular access to Spavor and Kovrig over the weekend, the Foreign Affairs Ministry said Saturday.
Western governments see the detention of the two Canadians as retaliation for Canada's arrest of Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei and daughter of its founder.
Meng was arrested on a US warrant in December 2018 during a stopover in Vancouver and is charged with bank fraud related to violations of US sanctions against Iran. She has been fighting extradition ever since.
