<h1>China Executes Four Dual Citizens for Drug Crimes, Igniting Diplomatic Tensions with Canada; Amnesty International Condemns Actions.</h1> Canada's foreign affairs minister announced that China executed four Canadians earlier this year for drug-related crimes, despite requests for clemency. The individuals were dual citizens, and their families have asked for privacy. China's embassy in Ottawa defended the executions, citing clear evidence of the crimes. The incident exacerbates existing tensions between Canada and China, which have been strained since the 2018 arrest of a former Huawei executive by Canada. Amnesty International condemned the executions, highlighting China's high execution rate. The situation underscores ongoing diplomatic and trade disputes between the two nations.
