Reuters: China says second Canadian being probed for harming state security
BEIJING (Reuters) - Canadian businessman Michael Spavor, who worked with North Korea, is being investigated on suspicion of harming China’s security, China said on Thursday, days after a former Canadian diplomat was detained in an escalating diplomatic row.
The state security bureau in the northeastern Chinese city of Dandong, which borders North Korea, has been investigating Spavor since Dec. 10, an official news site for the Liaoning province government said.
It gave no further details.

WNU Editor: Chinese state media is blunt in their reporting on this story .... 'Canada will pay': Chinese state media threaten repercussions over Huawei arrest (CTV News). The Canadian government should order a travel advisory, but because of Prime Minister Trudeau's focus on getting a free trade pact with China I am willing that they will not. As for the two Canadians who are detained, this could last for months .... Canadians detained in China could be held incommunicado for months (Washington Post). I also expect more Canadians are going to be detained in the coming days/weeks. On a side note. The second Canadian who has been detained (and one that WNU has profiled before) is someone who knows Kim Jong-un .... Kim Jong Un’s friend becomes second Canadian detained by China amid Huawei uproar (FOX News).

Poor lil Trudeau stuck between a Trump and a hard place. He most certainly does not know how to handle this and will likely misstep as usual. Good grief 😔
Yes, but this is front and center showing the Tactics of the Chinese - the Tariffs need to stay until they learn to play with the other kids.
So, the Chinese have arrested a second *Canadian* because of an *American* extradition threat....
Do the Chinese want to drive away potential international sympathy that badly?
Or are they really that afraid of blowing up trade negotiations?
Good point. This did expose China for what it really is..... our enemy.

Not an enemy, a competitor. Trudeau should have denied the US request for extradition and not got caught up in Trump's petty and selective power struggle with China. Once Trump is jailed the US will work to eliminate his nonsense and the tariffs, the latter of which the average US citizen is paying.
Mmmm......Trump still has the declassification card to play and uranium one whistle blowers testifying today, we’ll see who goe to jail in the end. And I don’t think it’s arguable that China sees anything and everything not Chinese as an enemy. To consider them only as competition is naive at best. Take a look into a book called “the art of warfare”
Petty people seem to "forget" that Trump had nothing to do with Meng's arrest.
Mr. Huntley, what Canada did is what allies do. I like to think we would have done the same.
Trump has to deal with China in the toughest possible way, short of war. Past presidents were weak and imbicilic in letting China steal western technology, plant agents and double agents all over the USA and Europe, destroy these countries manufacturing bases then dump Fentanyl all over the USA, destroying the youth of the USA. The list of aggressions is endless. Obama sat back and stared in the mirror for his presidency admiring his Louis XIV look. Bush caused so much mayhem he was shell shocked, the walking dead while China was picking his pockets. Clinton just stuck his hands you and got well paid by Johnny Chung, Chinese operative from the CCP.
Trump is going at China is many directions, laying their medicine on them. They are now exposed for the Communist thugs they have always been.
Anon 4:32 has nailed it.

If China is an enemy of the US why haven't they told companies like Apple to pull out of China or else they can't sell their products in America? Because it suits the Trump to pee around with the issue, an issue that is costing every day Americans money. China is not an enemy but somebody is really trying to make that so.
Your logic......
Apple is not a Republican company.
It is a Democrat one.
And they love their money.
Money over national security.
Hans
If you hadn't realized it from the history of the past 50 years, you might have learned from the Presidency of Obama that when it comes to the wealthy folk in the USA Democrats and Republicans are of one and the same mind. Same mindset as Donald Trump. For show they may speak as if they aren't of one mind, but with it comes down to the short strokes enough democrats crossover and support decisions that the favor the wealthy.

I believe if you look hard enough you will see that there are some exceptions in place that favor Ivanka as well.
Remember the $800 billion dollar bailout for the banks? At a Senate committee hearing regarding how the Fed had managed the disbursement and accounting of that money Ben Bernecke, the Fed head, was asked why some of that money was used to take a position in the currency of New Zealand. His response, "I don't know." Asked again and again "I don't know." That was his job to manage that money and he got away with "I don't know"? Do you think the management of the USA is actually in the hands of the US government whoever it is at any given time?
Bob
what .I. found failing in your logic was that you asked "if China was an enemy to the US, why haven't they told companies like Apple to pull out."
Apple is in Russia too. Just saying.
Who is that someone trying to make China an enemy to the US?
I think the Chinese themselves have done a pretty outstanding job telling that over the past decades.
Occam's razor
Most people in America know that bills are made by log rolling. That is people, who pay attention and/or have a brain.
Definition: logrolling
INFORMAL
the practice of exchanging favors, especially in politics by reciprocal voting for each other's proposed legislation.
Bernanke is not going to read a document of thousands of pages. He nor anyone else does not have the necessary baud rate.
So it is not really surprising that Bernanke did not know.
It is one reason why purists want clean bills instead of one with riders, attachements and amendments. This often comes up in what some people like to deride as populist.
About there not being 2 sides
Michael Savage, who I am sure BS would hate, talks of 2 card monte
Another person calls it "the combine."
Maybe BS would more interesting, if he compared and contrasted the optimates and the populares Instead of being a worthless Leftist pud.
Maybe the problem is that Leftists optimates espouse shit to be populares for a while so as to gain power among the optimates and then hide their shit in tax shelters.
Optimates like the noble Nancy Pelosi.
