Ye Jianhui was sentenced Friday by the Foshan Municipal Intermediate Court in the southern province of Guangdong. Ye had been found guilty of manufacturing and transporting drugs, the court said in a brief statement.
Another suspect in the case was also given the death penalty and four others sentenced to between seven years and life in prison. Death sentences are automatically referred to China's highest court for review. Ties between Canada and China have nosedived over Canada's late 2018 arrest of Meng Wanzhou, a company executive and the daughter of Huawei's founder, at Vancouver's airport in at the request of the U.S., which wants her extradited to face fraud charges over the company's dealings with Iran. Her arrest enraged Beijing, which calls it a political move aimed at constraining China's rise as a global technology power.
Ye's sentencing comes a day after fellow Canadian Xu Weihong was given the death penalty by the Guangzhou Municipal Intermediate Court, also in Guandong province. Convicted Canadian drug smuggler Robert Schellenberg was sentenced to death in a sudden retrial shortly after Meng's arrest, and a Canadian citizen identified as Fan Wei was given the death penalty in April 2019 for his role in a multinational drug smuggling case.
In apparent retaliation, China also detained former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and Canadian entrepreneur Michael Spavor weeks after Meng's arrest, accusing them of vague national security crimes.
This is awful that they can make up false charges of people and put them to death the world should stand up th them😡😡😡😡😡
Death... a good reason to not do drugs!
Maybe not a good idea to go back to your homeland and deal drugs. Especially if that homeland is China.
Well done
Well
When in Rome
drug = death nothing to do with other issues
Canada working on 10 percent tariffs.
What kind of moron goes to China of all places to deal drugs
First the kills us with their strategic virus, now they kills us for drugs. In the meantime, they flood the planet with fentanyl.
I would like to know more, if these people are smuggling drugs knowing if they get caught it’s the death penalty then it’s their own fault. Let’s not forget that much of the fentanyl that is wreaking so much damage here at home comes from China
This article doesn’t give enough info on the drug charge. We have lost many Canadian lives because of the drugs coming from China.

Defendant Xu Weihong purchased drug-making raw materials in October 2016 and used the tool to manufacture the drug ketamine at the home of another defendant in the same case. According to Chinese law, it meets the sentencing standards for the death penalty.
Hes originally from there, he only got a canadian citizenship to transport drugs, his main residence is in chinas provinces.
Not enough Tegridy I guess.
Time to ban and sanction Huawei in return. Silence and submission is ENOUGH; stand up and DO SOMETHING JustinTrudeau
Time to issue and 'do not travel to China' advisory.
Ridiculous and barbaric
The Trudeau govt is incompetent. Diversity is dead, it means nothing. Hiring people based on abilities is the only answer.
They’re all Asian.
It’s all CCP’s tricks; CCP must be sanctioned, otherwise the world is a terrorist attack!!!ACTION! ACTION! ACTION!!!SOS
Oh this just gets better and better.. So is Canada actually gonna do something here? You know anything? Getting all Canadians out now would be a great start! Can the rest of Canada not see just how ineffective our government really is?!
Tragic! If true, all Canadians need to get out of China ASAP.

Trudeau continues his fellatio for China uninterrupted.
