All MSM condemn China saying the fact that two Michaels' release coincided with that of Meng proves two dudes are innocent hostages. The logic is really strange. The Michaels admitted their spy activities. They are proud of their dangerous 007 CIA

career for democracy. MSM reduced them to insignificant hustlers. They must be hurt and indignant! To show the world their true caliber, Kovrig gave a solemn military salute on arrival.
China repeatedly stated Michaels' arrests had nothing to do with Meng.

However US/Canada wouldn't leave China alone to deal with the Michaels, for the reason Michaels are high level spies under the direct order of CIA. Kovrig was the CIA handler of Spavor. Kovrig used to exercise his spy career under the diplomatic cover and immunity
It’s launch day!! Drawing on a decade of research, CHINA UNBOUND is now officially published! Thank you so much for everyone's support. Here's one last thread about #ChinaUnbound & options to order here: joannachiu.com/how-to-order 
China Unbound weaves historical & political context with my reporting across four continents to present comparative case studies on major topics like Beijing’s far-reaching authoritarianism, the #MengWanzhou saga, and China's growing economic clout through the New Silk Road.
#ChinaUnbound has been selected as a best book of fall by the @globeandmail, @TorontoStar, @quillandquire, @VancouverSun and @cbcbooks!

@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt Listening to @joannachiu speaking with @piya on the growing authoritarianism of China. China continues to deny that the release of the #TwoMichaels is connected to the release of Ms Meng. It’s quite clear that China is obfuscating facts. There are other Canadians in Chinese jails
@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt Chinese reach into Canada is troubling and in her book “China Rebound” @joannachiu speaks of this.

@CBCSunday @piya @joannachiu @nenshi @TaraVeer @MeganALeslie @janephilpott @lraitt Joanna also refers to the increasing authoritarianism in India and Canadians who have spoken out on the ongoing #FarmersProtest in India, have been contacted & “warned”.
Having worked with and transacted business with mainland China I add, one must be prepared for turnarounds.

Call it "a tale of two tweets". In one, a NatPost scribe thanks America (but, really, when is a NatPost scribe *not* thanking America?). In the other, the same scribe is conjecturing, entirely without evidence, that the Biden admin inserted itself into a juridical process...
The tweets are at their most interesting when paired, but each is charming enough on its own. In the first, Canadian efforts to secure the release of the #TwoMichaels are damned by omission, even though we have zero info on what their impact was. Their nullity is assumed...
This is based on two dogmatic NatPost principles:
1) Americans are infallible, incorruptible supermen who are responsible for everything good in the world;
2) Canadians can't succeed except by accident or unless the US gives them the required instructions and/or gizmos...

AND, I mean EVERY Chinese character. *Reader may use Google Translate.
After attempting to deny it is, in fact,a "hostage-taking" and feebly trying to wrap it in the robes of judicial righteousness, Cong Peiwu clumsily fumbles & ends up directly linking it #MengWanzhou case.

(0:59-1:16) "But, I would like to take this opportunity to come out, where actually the biggest issue in our bilateral relationship is still Meng Wanzhou's case. So that's why we have made our position very clear, to make sure that she's back in China, smoothly and safely."
