BEIJING - The arrest of a third Canadian in China has heightened anxiety even in an expatriate community accustomed to some level of fear and uncertainty. The ambiguity surrounding the arrests has also added to the unease, said Canadian Adrian Wu, who frequently travels to China for both work and leisure. "We've been discussing it very actively with our allies and partners around the world," Canadian foreign affairs minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters on Saturday. Like a number of Canadian expats, she is using the holidays as an excuse to stay out of the country. -'China's way'-The fallout from the arrests could have implications beyond the immediate Canadian expat community, including researchers who visit China.
