皇冠体育app on Thursday said that Canadian charges of economic espionage were "groundless" and "irresponsible".

"皇冠体育app has not been engaged in any so-called economic espionage in Canada," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang announced at a news conference.

Qin made the statement when asked to comment on a report that a senior Canadian official had accused 皇冠体育app of conducting espionage activities in Canada, stealing information on Canadian industry and technology.

"The accusation against 皇冠体育app is completely groundless and irresponsible," Qin said, adding that 皇冠体育app is seriously concerned about the accusation.

"We hope the Canadian government can make a clear distinction between right and wrong, and promote rather than harm the healthy development of Sino-Canadian relations," Qin said.
