China also has detained Canadian citizens

In Beijing, while operating as intelligence assets to the detriment of the country.

Kovrig was considered an intelligence asset, as a diplomatic officer at the Global Security Reporting Program (GSRP) within the Canadian embassy in Beijing, and later when based in Hong Kong at International Crisis Group, according to a 2023 report

This appears to be in direct response to the Canadian arrest and prosecution of Huawei's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, who was visiting Canada on business and was arrested with intent to extradite her to the US. That arrest was in pursuit of a US sanction against Iran, another country whose people were chronically subjected to infiltratation, sabotage, and assassination by Western security and paramilitary forces.

What this had to do with Canadian Sovereignty is not clear. Are Canadian spies arrested on Chinese soil in reprisal for the seizure and extradition of a Chinese businesswoman a threat to Canadian Independence? Because it seems to be the absolute opposite.

South Korea showed us that when someone in power tries to do a crazy thing the country as a wholw will actually do something to stop them

The South of Korea has been under occupation by American military and intelligence services since the 1950s. This particular president's coup attempt threatened the interests of American State officials, so the Korean military friendly with the US allowed the coup to fail. But the parliament has done little to curb a future Yoon or Park administration from returning to power in the next election cycle, under a far more coup-favorable Trump State Department.
