Both choices are tough, one has major diplomatic repercussions, 2nd has political repercussions.
2 is only an issue because of how dismal Liberals looked on Chinese foreign interference where throwing fuel to the raging fire will decimate all election chances the Liberals think they have. Liberals made their bed here, 1 is the better choice politically, at the expense of diplomatic relations early.
In the end it would likely resulted in a similar condemnation once the investigation is completed.

Not sure I would compare China allegedly throwing a couple hundred thousand dollars in political donations with state sponsored murder. One is definitely worse than the other in my opinion.
