Hostage Diplomacy 人质外交

China abducted Mr.Li as a bargaining chip with Canada to turn over Lai Changxing (Chairman of Yuanhua Group, was the richest man in China).

“The RCMP officials with whom I have spoken have voiced their fear that Ang Li is being used as a bargaining chip to force Canada to send Lai back." the Burnaby MP said.

As everyone knows, Lai Changxing was eventually extradited to China, and Mr.Li 's counterpart of hostage diplomacy Lai was alleged dead in Chinese prison.

“与我交谈过的加拿大皇家骑警官员表示，他们担心李昂被用作迫使加拿大遣返赖昌星的筹码。”本拿比议员说道。

结果大家可能都知道，人质外交的对应者赖昌星最终被引渡回了中国，并且有消息传出他死在了中国监狱。
