The U.S. deal that allowed Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou to leave Canada and escape extradition was swiftly followed by China’s release of two Canadian detainees, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. The apparent prisoner swap resolved a pressure point in U.S.-China relations, but only heightened concerns about China’s “hostage diplomacy.”
As the extradition trial of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou draws to a close in Canada, China has upheld the death sentence of one Canadian citizen, and sentenced another to 11 years behind bars.
Her debut was a fashion shoot for Harper's Bazaar China, a music video, and a 17-minute documentary that features her “artistic journey” as a “rule-breaker princess.”
The fate of the two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, charged by China with spying, is still uncertain, exactly two years after they were detained.
U.S. prosecutors are discussing a deal with lawyers for Huawei finance chief Meng Wanzhou to resolve criminal charges against her, signaling a potential end to a case that has strained ties between the United States, China and Canada.
The two Canadians are only the latest victims of a much-maligned diplomatic tactic.
