Chinese Canadian actor Simu Liu has been accused of allegedly insulting China after an interview he did four years ago went viral on the Chinese Internet.

On Wednesday (Sept 8), Diba, a Chinese nationalist account on social media platform Weibo, posted nine screenshots of a 2017 interview of Liu, which Diba said was done during the 150th anniversary of Canada.
