China accuses two detained Canadians of stealing and selling state secrets
By Anna Fifield Anna Fifield Beijing bureau chief. Email Bio Follow March 4 at 8:43 AM BEIJING — China on Monday accused two detained Canadians of stealing state secrets, a serious allegation that comes just days after Canada said it would proceed with the extradition case against a top Chinese executive.
Michael Spavor, a Canadian businessman who promoted exchanges with North Korea, was Kovrig’s “main intelligence contact” and had provided intelligence to him, the statement said. Kovrig, who was based in Hong Kong, has traveled to China frequently since 2017 with a regular passport and a business visa, the Chinese commission said in its statement. He “is suspected of spying and stealing national secrets for foreign agents and his behavior has severely violated Chinese law,” it said.
Meng will appear in a Vancouver court on Wednesday to schedule the date of the hearing, the department said.“We are reiterating our demand to the U.S. to cancel the arrest order and extradition request for Ms. Meng, and urging Canada to free her immediately and ensure her safe return to China,” spokesman Lu Kang said on Saturday.
