Trudeau 'very concerned' over third Canadian detained in China

The latest detention comes amid a growing dispute between both countries following the arrest of a senior Chinese telecom executive earlier this month.
Officials say they do not believe this case is linked to that of two other Canadians recently held in China.

Canada says it is currently seeking more details on the detention.

Former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor were both taken into custody in China shortly after the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, at the request of the US, in Vancouver on 1 December.

Mr Trudeau said on Wednesday that "we suspect the case is very different from the first two cases", referring to the circumstances surrounding Mr Kovrig and Mr Spavor's detention.

That's some next level denial. Very close to traditional Canadian level apology language if you ask me. I think it's only a matter of time, but we will see.

For those not in the know Canada detained Huawei's CFO on a warrant issued by the United States through an extradition treaty.
