“He certainly wouldn’t speak to the US president like that.

Xi Jinping accuses Trudeau of leaking discussion to the media
Chinese President Xi Jinping has rebuked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for leaking details of a discussion between the leaders to the press. According to the readout, during the brief conversation between the two leaders — who have been at odds over trade, China’s arrest and detention of two Canadians and Canada’s arrest and detention of a Chinese Huawei executive — Trudeau expressed concerns about media reports that China secretly funded 11 candidates in the 2019 federal election. But the two later crossed paths again in public in Bali, in front of the media, who captured their exchange. Through an interpreter, Xi accused Trudeau of improperly leaking the content of their conversation and also argued that what was reported in the media did not accurately reflect their conversation. Trudeau interrupted the Chinese leader, saying Canada believes in “free and open and honest dialogue” and that while they have differences, they should work together.
Xi wanted the exchange to be seen, the expert says
However, Xi’s translator did not translate everything the president said. According to a translation by The Canadian Press, Xi also told Trudeau that “we should hold talks respectfully, otherwise the outcome cannot be predicted.” After the exchange, the couple shook hands and parted ways. During his final media interview, Trudeau responded to the incident, saying his government trusts its citizens want to know about the work it’s doing on their behalf. “I will not hesitate to be open with Canadians, even when we discuss important and sometimes sensitive issues,” the prime minister said. Lynette Ong, a political science professor at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, said Xi is someone who usually minces his words and is very careful about what he says in public. He said Xi knew his reprimand would be covered by the media, meaning he wanted this “outfit” to be seen by domestic and international audiences. WATCHES | Xi confronts Trudeau ‘very rare’, ex-ambassador says:
Xi’s dealings with Trudeau were “preordained,” the former ambassador says
“It’s very rare for Xi Jinping to engage in this kind of behavior,” said former Canadian ambassador to China Gui Sen-Jacques of Xi, confronting Trudeau. “He’s very agitated, his face is red, his hands are moving…and he knows the cameras are rolling.”
The threat can have economic, diplomatic implications
Guy Saint-Jacques, who was Canada’s ambassador to China from 2012 to 2016, said it was all “premeditated” and that Xi wanted to get a clear message to Trudeau as the cameras rolled. “I would agree that this was a veiled threat, and I find this whole episode very strange because it’s very rare for Xi Jinping to engage in this kind of behavior,” Sen-Jacques told CBC’s Power & Politics host David Cochran. Xi’s goal was to make Trudeau lose face publicly at home and around the world, Saint-Jacques said, noting that the confrontation shows the disdain the Chinese president has for the premier. “We need to pay attention to this lurking threat, because what’s on his mind?” Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer told Power & Politics he believes Xi’s threat to Trudeau was not veiled but “pretty direct” and that there could be economic or diplomatic ramifications.

Xi made a “pretty direct threat” to Trudeau: Ian Bremer
“It wasn’t a veiled threat. I think it was a pretty direct threat,” Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer said of comments Chinese President Xi Jinping made to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “It was like sending a message and getting rid of Trudeau.” “We have seen in the past that the Chinese are willing to make an example of individual leaders and countries when they feel disrespected.” Bremer said it was as if Xi was delivering a message and rejecting Trudeau. “He showed complete disregard for that line that Trudeau gave to try to justify his perspective on the relationship. That’s not the way you want a Canadian-Chinese relationship to go,” Bremer said. “So obviously, there’s going to be some serious thinking about how to handle that eventuality by the Canadians and frankly, with the Americans as well.”
Canada’s Indo-Pacific strategy is likely to anger Beijing
Canada is expected to soon release its Indo-Pacific strategy that will contain measures that are sure to anger Beijing. Saint-Jacques said his advice to Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly is that she should talk to her Chinese counterpart at the next Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit and try to do damage control.
