China has sentenced another Canadian citizen to death on drug charges, a move that comes amid a steep decline in relations between the two countries.

This is the third Canadian to be sentenced to death on drug charges in China since Canada detained a top executive of Chinese telecom giant Huawei in 2018.

Relations between China and Canada soured over the arrest of Meng Wanzhou, the CFO of Huawei and the daughter of the companys founder, at Vancouvers airport in late 2018. The United States wants her extradited to face fraud charges over the companys dealings with Iran. Her arrest infuriated Beijing, which sees her case as a political move designed to prevent Chinas rise as a global technology power.

Soon after, the regime handed a death sentence to convicted Canadian drug smuggler Robert Schellenberg in a sudden retrial, and in April 2019, gave the death penalty to a Canadian citizen identified as Fan Wei in a multinational drug smuggling case. Both men have lodged appeals.

China has also placed restrictions on various Canadian exports to China, includinRead More – Source
