Former MP Han Dong and Global News say they have settled their lawsuit concerning allegations that Dong was involved with the Chinese consulate in Toronto.

Amid a flurry of intelligence leaks in the media on Beijing interference in Canada in 2023, Global News reported that Dong told the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that the detention of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor should be extended.
