CHINESE SPY CASE TANGLED IN SECRECY SPATS
The case of a Canadian man accused of trying to spy for China is once again tied up in mysterious closed-door proceedings over confidential information. It has been more than five years since Qing Quentin Huang was arrested in Burlington, Ont., following an RCMP-led investigation called Project Seascape. Huang, an employee of Lloyd’s Register, a subcontractor to Irving Shipbuilding Inc., was charged under the Security of Information Act with attempting to communicate secrets to a foreign power. Police said the information related to elements of the federal shipbuilding strategy, which includes patrol ships, frigates, naval auxiliary vessels, science research vessels and ice breakers. Huang, who claims innocence, is free on bail.
