Kangaroo court.

China is what North Korea would look like if it had money.

But lets not forget how many times China has got caught spying on other countries or paying and bribing for information that we know was spent by their government. Yet I don't understand why people want to visit or live there

I agree but some of us have bills to pay so we work where we're sent. There are many families who would much rather live where they have freedom, breath clean air, and of course not constantly surveilled. But globalization is what it is, you work where the job is.

Nope. That’s what you said about the two Canadian spies detained in China as well last time, until one of the two sought a multimillion-dollar settlement from Ottawa, alleging he was detained because he unwittingly provided intelligence on North Korea to Canada and allied spy services.

Michael Spavor alleged that the deception was conducted by fellow Canadian prisoner Michael Kovrig, and it was intelligence work by the latter that led to both men’s incarceration by Chinese authorities.

He will be tortured in Chinese jail without seeing daylight.

Are you implying it is okay for China to torture prisoners?

No that’s what posters like you said about the Canadian spies, that they’re innocent but will be found guilty in a kangaroo court to be tortured in Chinese prisons with no daylight.

They were not innocent, received a fair trial and were not only not tortured in Chinese prisons but were freed despite being guilty.

And the daughter of Huawei CEO was innocent but was arrested (house). There wasn’t even a court trial much less a marsupial one.

Yes, your people are indeed rich.

There wasn't a trial because there was a stink put up by an immature country.
