I have little doubt both of these guys are spies. A guy working for an NGO that does "crisis research" and a guy leading tours in North Korea. LOL. Any country with sufficiently advanced counter-intelligence has a list of spies operating on their soil that they monitor and keep in reserve for when it's politically favorable to round them up.

I totally agree. Or at the very least, assests to spies.

China knew about them but let them operate, since known spies are better than unknown ones.

I mean, since everyone is already jumping to conclusions with no proof, this seems just as valid.

1. Canada doesn't spy China. They cannot be spies. 2. China is an authoritarian state. The two Canadian are innocent. 3. I have made my mind before reading the article.
