China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning delivered a firm reminder to Canada on Thursday. Amid reports citing Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly claiming that China executed four Canadian citizens on drug-related charges, China urged Canada to respect its judicial sovereignty.
During the press conference, Mao emphasized that tackling drug-related crimes is a shared responsibility. She stressed that Chinese judicial authorities handle each case with strict adherence to the law, ensuring equal treatment for everyone while fully protecting the legal rights of defendants and the consular rights of the Canadian side.
This clear stance reinforces a commitment to fairness and justice in legal proceedings—just like your favorite courtroom drama where the law doesn't play favorites. 
As global communities work together to combat drug-related crimes, respect for judicial sovereignty continues to serve as a key pillar of justice across borders.
