China’s ambassador to Canada warned in remarks published on Saturday against letting domestic politics drive the Canadian government’s decision on whether to approve a Chinese state-owned oil company’s proposed US$15.1 billion takeover of Calgary-based Nexen.

“Business is business. It should not be politicised,” Ambassador Zhang Junsai said in an interview with Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper.
