Hydro-Québec Spy Case Set for Verdict

A judge is set to deliver a historic verdict today in the case of Yuesheng Wang, the first person ever charged under Canada’s Security of Information Act, accused of economic espionage for allegedly stealing Hydro-Québec research and passing it to Chinese entities while working for the utility.

Wang, a Chinese national living in Quebec, has pleaded not guilty, and the case has become a flashpoint in Canada’s battle against foreign interference in sensitive research.
