China Formally Arrests Two Canadians For Spying

CBC/Reuters: China formally arrests Spavor and Kovrig, accuses them of spying

Michael Spavor, Michael Kovrig have been detained in China for months

Chinese authorities have formally arrested two Canadians and are accusing them of crimes related to national security, likely further increasing tension between Ottawa and Beijing.

Businessman Michael Spavor, who worked with North Korea, and former diplomat Michael Kovrig were picked up separately in December, shortly after Canada arrested Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver. She now faces extradition to the United States.

China has repeatedly demanded Meng be released, and has reacted angrily to extradition proceedings against her in a Canadian court.

Under Chinese law, officials can detain people for up to six months, meaning Beijing had until June 10 to act.

WNU Editor: Canada's response to differences with China has been to minimize it .... Canada will take ‘measured approach’ on possible U.S. ban of Huawei: Morneau (Global News). As a Canadian who has a long history with China I think this is a mistake, and it sends the wrong message to Beijing. If I was advising the Canadian government, I will be telling them that these Canadians are not going to be released, that they are going to be in jail for years, and that normal diplomacy is not going to work. Now is the time to take the gloves off, and these are steps that should be employed in a timely manner. The first thing that I would do is expel the Chinese Ambassador to Canada (the same Ambassador who accused Canada of "white supremacy"), and to severely limit Beijing's diplomatic staff in Canada. I would also expel every Chinese national in Canada who is suspected of working for China's state security apparatus, a list of individuals that I would not be surprised if Canada already has. The second thing that I would advise Ottawa is to ban Huawei and other related Chinese technology companies. The third thing that I would recommend is putting tariffs on Chinese products, and to limit Chinese work visas. The fourth and last thing will be to raise this issue in every international forum, and to position the Chinese in losing face. Will be there be blow-back from China .... the answer is yes. But if Canada cannot stand on principles that it values, and protect Canadian citizens abroad, then what do we stand for?
