China may have detained second citizen, says Canada foreign minister
加拿大外交部長說中國或許已經逮捕第二位加拿大公民

3.完整新聞內文:
A second Canadian citizen may have been held by Chinese officials following
the detention of former diplomat Michael Kovrig, according to Canada’s fore
ign minister Chrystia Freeland.


The Globe and Mail has named the individual as Michael Spavor. He lives in C
hina and runs the Paektu Cultural Exchange, a company that brings tourists a
nd hockey players into North Korea. He was largely responsible for facilitat
ing one of Dennis Rodman’s trips to North Korea, in which the famous former
 NBA player met with Kim Jong-un.


After Kovrig was detained on Monday, another citizen contacted officials, sa
ying he had been questioned by Chinese authorities.
在科夫里格于周一被拘留后，另一名公民與官員聯系，稱他受到了中國當局的質詢。

“We have not been able to make contact with him since he let us know about
this,” Freeland said at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon. “We are
working very hard to ascertain his whereabouts and we have also raised this
case with the Chinese authorities. We are in touch with his family.”
“他告訴我們這件事后，我們無法與他聯系。”弗里蘭在周三下午的新聞發布會上說。
“我們正在努力確定他的下落，我們也向中國當局提出詢問。我們與他的家人保持聯系。
”

Spavor and Kovrig are said to know each other, The Globe and Mail reported.
據環球郵報報道，據說Spavor和Kovrig互相認識。

Posts on Spavor’s social media showed friends beginning to question his whe
reabouts, after he failed to show up to a planned visit to Seoul on Monday,
the same day Kovrig is believed to have detained by security officials in Be
ijing. He was scheduled to be in the city, for conferences and social events
, until at least Friday.


Canadian officials have been wary of potential retaliation by the Chinese go
vernment after the arrest last week of Chinese telecoms executive Meng Wanzh
ou in Vancouver.
上周華為CFO孟晚舟在溫哥華被捕后，加拿大官員一直擔心中國政府可能會進行報復。

But the Canadian government has been unwilling to directly link Meng’s arre
st with the detention of Kovrig, who is being questioned on suspicion of eng
aging in “activities that harmed China’s national security”, according to
 Chinese state-run media.
但據中國官方媒體報道，加拿大政府一直不愿直接將孟的逮捕與Kovrig的拘留聯系起來，
后者因涉嫌參與“危害中國國家安全的活動”而被質疑。

“Canadian citizen Michael John Kovrig was on 10 December investigated in ac
cordance with the law by the Beijing State Security Bureau on suspicion of e
ngaging in activities that harm China’s state security,” the newspaper sai
d.
“加拿大公民邁克爾· 約翰· 科夫里格于12月10日依據北京國家安全局的法律對涉嫌從
事危害中國國家安全的活動進行調查，”該報稱。

Accusations of harming state security could cover a wide range of suspected
crimes, and in China are often very vague when first levelled.
對國家安全造成傷害的指控可以涵蓋各種可疑的犯罪行為，而且在中國通常非常模糊。

Kovrig who works for the International Crisis Group (ICG) is on leave from G
lobal Affairs Canada, but he is still considered an employee, said an offici
al. However, he does not have diplomatic status.
一位官員說，為國際危機組織（ICG）工作的科夫里格正在離開加拿大全球事務部，但他
仍被視為一名雇員。但是，他沒有外交地位。

The ICG, a thinktank focused on conflict resolution, said in an earlier stat
ement Kovrig was detained by state security officials in Beijing on Monday n
ight.
ICG是一個專注于解決沖突的智囊團，他在早些時候的一份聲明中表示，科夫里格周一晚
被北京的國家安全官員拘留。

Diplomats in China said the apparent involvement of the secretive state secu
rity ministry, which engages in domestic counter-espionage work, among other
 things, suggests the government could be looking at levelling spying accusa
tions.
中國的外交官表示，秘密的國家安全部門明顯參與了國內反間諜工作，其中包括政府可
能正在考慮平衡間諜指控。

However, the ICG president and chief executive, Robert Malley, said the grou
p did not engage in such activity.
然而，ICG總裁兼首席執行官羅伯特馬利說，該組織沒有參與此類活動。

“I don’t want to speculate as to what’s behind it but I am prepared to be
 categorical about what’s not behind it, and what’s not behind it is any i
llegal activity or endangering of Chinese national security,” Malley told R
euters, before the state media report came out.
“我不想推測其背后是什么，但我準備明確其背后的內容，而不是背后的是任何非法活
動或危害中國國家安全，”馬利在中國國家媒體的報道出來之前告訴了路透社。

“Everything we do is transparent, it’s on our website. We don’t engage in
 secretive work, in confidential work.“
“我們所做的一切都是透明的，你都可以在我們的網站上找到。我們不會從事秘密的工
作。”

The Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, Lu Kang, said the ICG was not regist
ered in China as a non-government organisation (NGO) and Kovrig could have b
roken Chinese law.
中國外交部發言人陸康表示，ICG并未在中國注冊為非政府組織，而科夫里格可能違反了
中國法律。

The foreign NGO law, which took effect in January, is part of a raft of new
national security measures introduced under President Xi Jinping.
外國非政府組織法于1月生效，是習近平主席提出的一系列新的國家安全措施的一部分。

“All foreigners that come to China, so long as they respect the law, have n
othing to worry about,” Lu said.
“所有來到中國的外國人，只要他們尊重法律，就沒有什么可擔心的，”陸康說。

William Nee, the China researcher for Amnesty International’s East Asia reg
ional office in Hong Kong, said Kovrig’s detention was alarming, especially
 as it appeared to be the first time the law has been used to detain a forei
gn NGO worker.
大赦國際駐香港東亞區域辦事處的中國研究員威廉尼說，科夫里格的拘留令人震驚，特
別是因為這似乎是法律第一次被用來拘留一名外國非政府組織工作人員。

“We need to wait for the official explanation from the Chinese side, but th
is detention could have a chilling effect on the foreign NGO and business co
mmunities in terms of their feeling safe while travelling in China,” he tol
d Reuters.
“我們需要等待中方的官方解釋，但這種拘留可能對外國非政府組織和商界在中國旅行
時的安全感產生寒蟬效應，”他告訴路透社。

Guy Saint-Jacques, Canada’s former ambassador to China, was asked by the Ca
nadian Broadcasting Corporation on Tuesday whether the Kovrig detention was
a coincidence after the arrest of the Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.


“In China there are no coincidences,” he said. “In this case it is clear
the Chinese government wants to put maximum pressure on the Canadian governm
ent.”
“在中國，沒有巧合，”他說。 “在這種情況下，顯然中國政府希望對加拿大政府施加
最大壓力。”

China had threatened severe consequences unless Canada released Meng immedia
tely and analysts have said retaliation for the arrest was likely.
中國曾威脅嚴重后果，除非加拿大立即釋放孟，分析人士表示可能會對逮捕進行報復。

Meng was granted bail by a Canadian court on Tuesday, 10 days after her arre
st in Vancouver on US claims that she misled multinational banks about Iran-
linked transactions caused a diplomatic dispute. As part of her release, she
 has provided a $10m bond – in parts cash and properties – and must wear a
 GPS monitoring device.
