China has sentenced another Canadian citizen to death on drug charges, a move that comes amid a heightened hostile attitude by the communist regime toward Canada in recent months.

This is the third Canadian to be sentenced to death on drug charges in China since Canada detained a top executive of Chinese telecom giant Huawei in 2018.
