China sentences second Canadian to death in just two days for separate drug charges
China has sentenced a Canadian citizen to death for making and transporting drugs just one day after giving capital punishment to another in a separate charge.
Ye Jianhui was handed the verdict today at a first trial by the Intermediate People's Court of Foshan in Guangdong Province, a statement said.
On Thursday, another court in Guangdong's Guangzhou city announced capital penalty for Xu Weihong, also Canadian, for making over 265 pounds of ketamine.
The news comes against the backdrop of escalating political tensions between Beijing and Ottawa over the arrest of a Huawei executive and her possible extradition to the United States.
