Throwback: China's minister puts 🇨🇦 journalist on blast over human rights question

For the first time in nearly a decade, China's minister of foreign affairs will visit Canada on May 28 to meet with Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand.

Global Affairs Canada says Minister Wang Yi and Anand are expected to talk trade, investment, global security and other bilateral issues.

Not on the docket are questions around China's human rights record, something that came up with reporters during Yi's last visit to Ottawa in 2016.
