Not saying it’s ok what they did but the article does reveal the real political reason behind this:
Critics have accused China of treating both Spavor and Kovrig as political bargaining chips, held as part of what is known as "hostage diplomacy".
Wasn’t so much the asking questions as it was a diplomat used as a bargaining chip since a Huawei exec was also captured.
So what you're saying is that the CCP took the two Michaels hostage for no other reason than to be political bargaining chips?
...that's exactly why I wouldn't travel to China whilst Xi is power.
