Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said that China is one of the largest threats with respect to foreign interference in Canada and is an emerging threat in the Arctic.



In a debate Thursday night ahead of the April 28 election, Carney replied "China," when asked to name Canada's biggest security threat.



Asked to elaborate at a news conference in Niagara Falls on Friday, Carney said Canada has to counter Chinese foreign interference threats. He also criticized China for being a partner with Russia in the war with Ukraine and said it is a threat to broader Asia and Taiwan in particular.



Carney said China is the biggest threat "from a geopolitical sense."
