  "account": "The claims that Liberal MP Shaun Chen voted on legislation while in China are false. This assertion was debunked by evidence showing Chen's travel dates and boarding pass, which demonstrate he was in China from March 14 to March 22, and returned to Canada on March 23. His office also shared photos of his visa stamps confirming his arrival and departure dates. Despite right-wing influencers and some Conservative MPs accusing Chen of breaking House rules, the truth remains that he did not vote from outside Canada.",
