A second Canadian man has gone missing in China and is feared detained in what appears to be retaliation for Canada's arrest of a top executive of telecommunications giant Huawei, Canadian authorities said late Wednesday. Canada's Global Affairs department identified its missing citizen as Michael Spavor, an entrepreneur who is one of the only Westerners to have ever met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Earlier Wednesday, Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said she was worried that another Canadian had been detained in China following Monday's arrest of former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig in Beijing. U.S. officials have insisted the sanctions case against Meng had nothing to do with the ongoing trade talks. "Do we want China to seize an (American) executive when they want to get a concession on trade talks in the future?"
