Q: According to Canadian media, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that "there was no justification, no reason, no excuse" for the arbitrary detention of Michael Korvig and Michael Spavor. What is your comment?

A: China is a country under the rule of law. Michael Korvig and Michael Spavor are suspected of engaging in activities endangering China's national security. The Chinese judicial authorities have been handling the cases in strict accordance with the law. The recent reports from Canadian media have once again proven that these facts cannot be denied. Canada's hyping up of the so-called China's "arbitrary detention" is a completely false narrative. We urge the Canadian side to face the facts and deeply reflect upon its mistakes instead of continuing to attack and smear China, and misleading and deceiving the Canadian public.
