Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were arrested in China after the high-profile detention of Chinese Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. Why were they chosen as collateral in this legal process between the US and Canada that turned into a political war with China, and what was Canada's relationship with China before this happened? In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss that and more with Fen Hampson, the chancellor’s professor at Carleton University and president of the World Refugee & Migration Council, and Mike Blanchfield, the international affairs writer for The Canadian Press. They are the authors of the book The Two Michaels: Innocent Canadian Captives and High Stakes Espionage in the US-China Cyber War.
