The end of the article interested me more, because the rest was just tooting China's horn:
And what about the case of Robert Lloyd Schellenberg, the Canadian schmuck found guilty of drug smuggling by China not long before Meng’s arrest?
Once the Two Michaels had returned to Canada, Canadian media lost all interest in the fate of the poor guy, found guilty of trying to smuggle drugs out of China to Australia, who had his 15-year jail term goosed up to a death sentence to increase the pressure on Canada to release Meng.
A Chinese court rejected Schellenberg’s appeal of his death sentence in 2021.
There doesn’t seem to have been another news report about him since then.
He wasn’t a model citizen, a spy, or a corporate executive. He’s still a Canadian, though. Does anybody give a hoot?
That was the person I knew was just arrested and charged up for dubious political reasons more than the two Michaels. I'd never really followed up on China's whole espionage allegations because that's often just a he-said she-said.
