Canada and China have agreed not to engage in state-sponsored hacking of each other's trade secrets and business information. The two countries reached the agreement during a meeting last week that was part of their new high-level national security dialogue. The two sides also had "candid" discussions about a possible extradition treaty, said the statement — something China wants, but that Canada has said is a long way off. The government statement says the two sides also discussed "judicial and rule of law issues." "We disagree on some aspects of the rule of law and privately and publicly on how the Chinese government treats human rights advocates."
