Another Canadian Now Missing in China, Minister Says It's Businessman Michael Spavor
 [Epoch Times] BEIJING‐Canada’s Foreign Ministry said it has been unable to contact Canadian businessman Michael Spavor, since he notified the government that he was being questioned by Chinese authorities.Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland earlier told reporters that a second Canadian citizen could be in trouble in China. "We are aware of a Canadian who got in touch with us because he was being asked questions by Chinese authorities," Freeland told the media on Dec. 12. "We have not been able to make contact with him since he let us know." Authorities in China are already holding former diplomat Michael Kovrig who was detained on Dec. 10. China has reacted angrily to Canada’s arrest on Dec. 1 of Chinese executive Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of China’s Huawei Technologies and Spavor’s disappearance is likely to further escalate the diplomatic row.
