Officials not linking latest arrest to the recent diplomatic turbulence
A third Canadian has been taken into custody in China, according to Global Affairs Canada.
Canadian officials declined to provide any detail about who the individual is or why they are being detained, citing privacy concerns.
"Global Affairs Canada is aware of a Canadian citizen detained in China. Consular officials are providing assistance to the family," said spokesperson Maegan Graveline
A source who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Canadian officials found out about the detention on Tuesday by someone who knows the latest detainee — not by Chinese officials.
The latest detention, first reported by the National Post, comes amid growing tensions between Canada and China.
