OTTAWA — Two Canadian men whom China had detained for more than 1,000 days and were at the center of a dispute between Washington and Beijing attended President Joe Biden’s speech to parliament in Ottawa on Friday, and received applause and a standing ovation. The men, who were released in 2021, will also attend the gala dinner for Biden on Friday evening, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said.Chinese authorities took the two men, Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, into custody in December 2018 shortly after Canadian police detained Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Chinese telecoms equipment giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, on a U.S. warrant.
They were released on the same day the U.S. Justice Department dropped its extradition request for Meng and she returned to China.
