  2.  @salkryeful  Michael Spavor reaches settlement with federal government over detention in China Spavor was one of two Canadians detained in China in 2018 Michael Spavor has reached a settlement with the Canadian government over his detention in China. Citing two sources, Radio-Canada reports that the total settlement is for $7 million. John Philips, Spavor's lawyer, told CBC News that the matter between his client and the government "has been resolved" but would not offer any further comment. Spavor, a consultant, was one of two Canadians detained by Chinese officials in December 2018 — not long after Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada on behalf of U.S. authorities. Spavor, along with diplomat Michael Kovrig, spent more than 1,000 days in prison before being released in September 2021. The Globe and Mail reported in November that Spavor was threatening to sue the government and Kovrig. That report suggested Spavor was alleging he was detained because he unwittingly provided information on North Korea to Kovrig, who then gave the information to Canadian intelligence officials. CBC
