渥太华——独立议员韩东周二表示，他仍在等待是否可以重返自由党核心小组的消息，但他希望尽快实现。
这位多伦多地区议员于三月份辞去了政府核心小组的职务，因为他想在媒体报道中发表指控后洗清自己的罪名。
《环球新闻》援引未具名的国家安全消息来源报道称，董于 2021 年 2 月告诉一名中国外交官，释放加拿大人迈克尔·科夫里格 (Michael Kovrig) 和迈克尔·斯帕弗 (Michael Spavor) 将有利于保守派。
前外国干涉问题特别报告员戴维·约翰斯顿 (David Johnston) 在 5 月份的一份报告中认为这一指控“虚假”，自由党启动了一项程序，以确定邓是否能够重返党团会议。
董说，大约三周前，在议会秋季会议开始前，他会见了政府间事务部长多米尼克·勒布朗。
“这非常好，非常有建设性，”董告诉加拿大媒体。
“我正在等待多米尼克的回复，但我希望尽快回到那里。”
董以保密为由没有透露他们谈话的细节，但他表示他们的谈话是“积极的”。
勒布朗的发言人表示，政府将“在适当的时候”就这个问题发表更多言论。
董说，他认为约翰斯顿的报告为他的指控洗清了罪名。
“我认为约翰斯顿先生的报告非常清楚地表明这一指控是错误的，”董引用了报告中的一句话说道。
董起诉环球新闻及其母公司 Corus Entertainment 诽谤。
该媒体此前还曾发表指控称，董在 2019 年大选中成为自由党候选人时，受益于中国的外国干涉。
Global表示，它花了数月时间审查文件，包括加拿大安全情报局发布的文件，尽了最大努力来核实有关董的所有报告。
五月份的声明称：“我们的消息来源冒着职业和生计的风险，警告加拿大人中华人民共和国对加拿大民主进程和政府机构的干预程度。”
“我们相信我们的新闻在本系列所有报道中的完整性，以及它在对公共利益至关重要的问题上寻求问责制和透明度方面发挥的关键作用。”
CSIS 负责收集情报、分析情报，然后将其发送给相关政府部门采取行动。
约翰斯顿说，他被告知只有一份情报报告了对邓的指控，这使他得出结论：“该指控是错误的”。
约翰斯顿表示，虽然董至少在 2021 年选举之前与中国领事官员保持着“密切联系”，并与一名中国外交官讨论了康明凯和斯帕弗的案件，但“他并没有向该官员建议（中国）延长对他们的拘留。 ” ”。
董于2019年首次当选为议会北当谷自由党议员，并于2021年再次当选。他于3月22日辞去自由党核心小组职务。
加拿大通讯社的这篇报道于 2023 年 10 月 3 日首次发表。
Dong said he felt Johnston's report cleared his name, in terms of what he was being accused of.
“I think that Mr. Johnston's report was very clear that the allegation is false,” Dong said, quoting a line from the report.
Dong is suing Global News and its parent company, Corus Entertainment, for defamation.
The outlet had also previously published allegations that Dong benefited from Chinese foreign interference in his bid to become the Liberal candidate for his riding in the 2019 election.
Global has said that it took painstaking efforts to verify all of its reporting on Dong, spending months reviewing documents, including from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
“Our sources risked their careers and livelihoods to warn Canadians about the extent to which the People's Republic of China was interfering in Canada's democratic processes and government institutions,” the statement issued in May said.
“We believe in the integrity of our journalism in all the reporting in this series, and the critical role it plays in seeking accountability and transparency on issues vital to the public interest.”
CSIS is responsible for gathering intelligence, analyzing it and then sending it to relevant government departments to act upon.
Johnston said he was advised that there was just one piece of intelligence that spoke to the allegation against Dong, which led him to his conclusion: “The allegation is false.”
Johnston said that while Dong maintained “close relationships” with Chinese consular officials at least through the 2021 election, and did discuss the case of Kovrig and Spavor with a Chinese diplomat, “he did not suggest to the official that (China) extend their detention.”
Dong was first elected to Parliament as the Liberal MP for Don Valley North in 2019, and was re-elected in 2021. He resigned from the Liberal caucus March 22.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 3, 2023.
