Wellington-Halton Hills MP Michael Chong is among those to be sanctioned from the People’s Republic of China.
This comes following sanctions imposed from Canada on individuals in the Xinjuang region over human rights violations of the Muslim community in the area.
Chong however is not phased from the sanction, rather embracing it calling it a badge of honour saying it shows those who are speaking out on the matter is effective against China.
Last month the House of Commons passed a motion declaring the Chinese government treatment of the Uyghur Muslims meeting the definition of a genocide.
Prime Minister Trudeau’s cabinet and other Liberal MPs abstained on the vote.
