Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
The article discusses the 2018 kidnapping of two Canadian citizens, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, by Chinese security services in retaliation for Canada's detention of Huawei heiress Meng Wanzhou. The author, who was a reporter in China at the time, uses this incident to draw parallels to European security challenges and suggests Europe has lessons to learn from former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney's approach to international relations and security matters.
