Chinese internet users jump on Justin Trudeau’s Lunar New Year message to chide Canadian PM over Huawei

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Lunar New Year message on social media met with a mixed reaction from Chinese internet users, some of whom used it as an opportunity to air their feelings about Canada’s troubled relations with China and its part in an extradition row involving the US.

Trudeau began his message with “Happy New Year” in Mandarin and English in the 50-second video that appeared on his Weibo feed on Tuesday evening, the first day of the new year.
