China recently released a Canadian citizen convicted of spying. He had been detained for two years. Now, Canada's Foreign Minister Stephane Dion has clarified that the country did not make any concession to China to secure the release. There had been rumors that China was seeking a free trade deal, the extradition of corrupt officials from Canada, and lax investment rules in return for the release.
