Canada’s spy agency repeatedly warned the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) about one of its former engineers who now faces charges for allegedly using his position to negotiate on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company, according to new court documents obtained by CBC News.
The RCMP said in a statement on Dec. 8, 2021, that its investigation led to a charge of “breach of trust” against Wanping Zheng, who acted outside of his duties at the federal space agency when he helped a Chinese aerospace company negotiate agreements on installing satellite station facilities in Iceland in 2018.
