Neither the Chinese foreign ministry nor state media have published anything on talks between Xi and Trudeau. The two held an informal meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit on Tuesday, according to a government source. A senior Canadian government official said Xi and Trudeau spoke about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, North Korea and climate change. The source said Trudeau also ...raised our serious concerns around interference activities in Canada.... Asked later about the confrontation, Trudeau said ...not every conversation is always going to be easy... ...But it's extremely important that we continue to stand up for the things that are important for Canadians,... he added. Foreign Minister Mlanie Joly said she discussed Chinese interference with her Chinese counterpart at the G20. Last week, Joly said China was an ...increasingly disruptive, global power... and warned businesses against deepening their ties \- saying there were geopolitical risks. Xi has held nine formal bilateral meetings with other heads of state while at the summit, the Chinese foreign ministry said. It comes as Rishi Sunak appeared to tone down tensions with China calling them a "systemic challenge" \- as he leaves open the chance of meeting President Xi at the G20 summit. The Prime Minister drew a sharp contrast compared to his predecessor Liz Truss who was set to classify the country as an ...official threat.... He outlined how the UK must work with China to deal with the most pressing issues such as dealing with Russia over Ukraine. The PM, speaking on his way to the G20, said: "I think that China unequivocally poses a systemic threat — well, a systemic challenge — to our values, and our interests and is undoubtedly the biggest state-based threat to our economic security, let me put it that way. "That's how I think about China. That's what I said over the summer, that's why it's important that we take the powers that we need to defend ourselves against that. "For example the National Security Investment Act is a good example of that. "But I also think that China is an indisputable fact of the global economy and we're not going to be able to resolve shared global challenges like climate change, or public health, or indeed actually dealing with Russia and Ukraine, without having a dialogue with them."
