BEIJING - China on Monday accused detained Canadian citizen Michael Kovrig of stealing state secrets which were passed on to him from another detained Canadian, Michael Spavor, in a move likely to further ramp up tension between Ottawa and Beijing.
China has repeatedly demanded Meng be released, and reacted angrily last week when Canada's government approved extradition proceedings against her. "Spavor was Kovrig's main contact and provided him with intelligence," the commission added, without giving details. "China is a country with rule of law and will firmly crack down on criminal acts that severely undermine national security."
