the spokesperson said that canada's move was dangerous and irresponsible, and china firmly opposed it.

the spokesperson said that china urges canada to respect facts, abide by wto rules, and not make the same mistake over and over again. china will closely monitor canada's subsequent moves and take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of chinese companies.
