Ebook: The Two Michaels: Innocent Canadian Captives and High Stakes Espionage in the US-China Cyber War

Landing in Vancouver on a flight from Hong Kong on December 2018, Chinese telecom executive Meng Wanzhou was arrested by Canadian
authorities with an American extradition warrant. The US Department of
Justice accused Meng of fraud and bypassing sanctions against Iran. Nine
days later, in an act of retaliation, China arrested two
Canadians—Michael Spavor, an entrepreneur, and Michael Kovrig, a peace
advocate—charging them with spying.

Imprisoned and interrogated, the Two Michaels became hostages in a tense showdown between China and the United States over not only the
Meng extradition but whether East or West will control the future of the
internet.

In this timely and essential book, journalist Mike Blanchfield and international affairs expert Fen Osler Hampson combine groundbreaking original
reporting and keen analysis to tell this gripping and ongoing story of
cyber-espionage, life-and-death diplomacy, and global superpowers in
conflict.
