Third Canadian Held in China as Officials Downplay Huawei Link

Canadian officials have learned of another national held in China, though they are downplaying any links between this case and the detentions of two others earlier this month.

A Canadian government official who spoke on condition of anonymity said without elaborating there’s no reason to believe there’s a connection between the latest report, and the detentions by China’s spy agency of a former diplomat and an entrepreneur who helped organize tourist trips to North Korea.
