China says detained Canadians have been formally arrested
BEIJING - Chinese authorities have formally arrested on state secrets charges two Canadians detained last year, the government said on Thursday, in what is likely to further increase 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 Technologies Co Ltd Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou, who faces extradition to the United States. “According to Chinese prosecutors’ approval, Michael Kovrig, due to being suspected of crimes of gathering state secrets and intelligence for foreign , and Michael Spavor, for being suspected of crimes of stealing and illegally providing state secrets for foreign , have in recent days been approved for arrest according to law,” foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told a daily news briefing.
