Justin Trudeau is trying to ratchet up international pressure on China to release a pair of Canadian citizens. The results have been mixed.

State security agents seized Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor nine days after Canadian authorities, acting on a U.S. request, arrested a top Huawei Technologies Co. executive in Vancouver. Meng Wanzhou is now out on bail, while the two Canadians remain in Chinese custody.
