Chinese President Xi Jinping has angrily rebuked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after officials in the latter’s country shared details of a previous meeting, highlighting the frosty relationship between the two leaders.<\/p>\n
\n
In a clip recorded by the media pool at the now-concluded G20 summit in Bali, a visibly frustrated Xi pulls the Canadian Prime Minister aside and says it was “not appropriate” for details about a previous conversation between the two leaders to have been shared with media, suggesting Trudeau lacked “sincerity” in his approach, the Guardian reported.<\/p>\n
\n
“Everything we discuss has been leaked to the paper, that’s not appropriate,” Xi says to Trudeau through a translator.<\/p>\n
\n
“And that’s not the way the conversation was conducted,” he added.<\/p>\n
\n
The testy exchange came a day after government sources briefed that during a previous conversation on the margins of the summit, Trudeau had raised “serious concerns” with Xi over China’s increasingly aggressive “interference activities”.<\/p>\n
\n
Xi’s irritation on Wednesday was a rare break with his normally carefully scripted public appearances.<\/p>\n
\n
“In Canada, we believe in free and open and frank dialogue and that is what we will continue to have,” Trudeau said, interrupting Xi’s translator.<\/p>\n
\n
“We will continue to look to work constructively together but there will be things we will disagree on.”<\/p>\n
\n
Gesturing with his hands, Xi told Trudeau the two must “create the conditions first”, the Guardian reported.<\/p>\n
\n
The pair ended their conversation by shaking hands and leaving in opposite directions, with the Canadian Prime Minister looking chastened from the encounter.<\/p>\n
\n
The uncomfortable exchange, and the previous conversation, followed repeated warnings from Trudeau and other officials that China had attempted to undermine Canada’s democracy, said the Guardian report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
