The Chinese must smile at their own malarkey when they issue bulletins that two Canadian men have been detained in China on suspicion of “endangering national security.” That would be Canadian men from Canada, population possibly 35 million. The Canadians in question are entrepreneur Michael Spavor and former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig. Spavor runs a cultural exchange organization that helps people travel to North Korea. The apprehension of the two seems clearly related to the pending US extradition case of Meng Wanzhou, of the electronics giant Huawei, who is currently on bail in Vancouver.
