Now it's waterboarding time!

High voltage to the testes!




China’s expanding military footprint in Africa by Michael Kovrig

The 2017 Chinese blockbuster action movie Wolf Warrior II brought home a Rambo-esque fantasy version of these concerns. Set in a nameless African country that descends into chaos, it closes with the hubristic message that China’s government will protect its citizens wherever they go.

@Feng Leng asks "Who is suffering from hubris now, Mr. I-have-electrodes-attached-to-my-testes?"

据路透社报道，国际危机组织（International Crisis Group）周二（11日）表示，其东北亚高级顾问、加拿大前外交官康明凯（Michael Kovrig），近日被中国政府拘留。

总部位于比利时的国际危机组织声明称，正寻求获得更多有关康明凯的信息，并希望他能尽快并安全获释。

据路透社报道，中国外交部和公安部尚未对事件作出回应，康明凯被拘留的原因也尚不得知，加拿大驻华大使馆拒绝评论事件。

资料显示，康明凯曾任加拿大驻北京和驻香港的外交官，曾在纽约联合国总部担任联合国开发计划署的战略通讯专家，能说普通话。他于去年加入国际危机组织，担任东北亚高级顾问，研究分析中国、日本和朝鲜半岛的外交事务和全球安全问题等。多次批评中国，并主张对华采取强硬态度。

国际危机组织是一个非政府组织，成立于1995年，末代港督彭定康曾是该组织的联合主席之一，澳大利亚前外长加雷思·埃文斯曾担任该组织的总裁兼首席执行官。

Yep those journalists need to do live reporting on the case. They should tell us every thing about it.

I am sure that the Chinese will announce the reasons and proceed according to due process of law with the indictment and a fair trial.

They just make up one. Like the man killed a fly when he was 6 or something.

This is the most appropriate tit-for-tat response. Nab a diplomat, public servant or journalist. Don't touch any businesspeople though, even if it would appear more symmetrical (because Meng was Huawei's CFO), because that would send the wrong signal to international investors.
