Beijing: China has charged two detained Canadians with spying in cases linked to Canada’s arrest of a Huawei executive on U.S. charges.
Chinese prosecutors said on Friday that Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor have been charged.
Kovrig was charged in Beijing on suspicion of spying for state secrets and intelligence. Spavor was charged in Dandong city near the North Korean border on suspicion of spying for foreign entity and illegally providing state secrets. Canada has called the arrests “arbitrary”, but China denies they were retaliation for Meng’s detention. (Agencies)
