Canadian gets 11 years' jail in China

BEIJING • A Canadian businessman charged with spying was handed an 11-year jail sentence at a Liaoning detention centre yesterday, a conviction condemned by his country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "unjust".

Michael Spavor has been held by the Chinese authorities since 2018, days after Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou was detained in Canada, where she fights extradition charges to the US.
