A former employee of Canada's space agency has been charged by the RCMP for allegedly working on behalf of a Chinese company, according to Global News.
The former employee has been charged with a breach of trust by a public official. Wanping Zheng, who is 61, was charged on Tuesday. Zheng is a resident of Montreal, Quebec.
"According to the facts, Mr. Zheng allegedly used his status as a CSA engineer to negotiate agreements for the installation of satellite station facilities in Iceland," said the RCMP in a statement.
"The Canadian Space Agency is part of Canada’s critical infrastructure and constitutes a strategic interest to be protected," they added.
On Wednesday, the Canadian government announced an official diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympic Games.
We are announcing today that we will not be sending any diplomatic representation to the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic games."
"Our athletes have been training for years, and are looking forward to compete at the highest level from athletes around the world," said Trudeau.
Both the NDP and the Conservative Party urged the Liberal government to boycott the games. The United Kingdom and Australia both joined the US in diplomatically boycotting the Beijing Olympic Games earlier on Wednesday.
Athletes from these three countries will still participate in the games, but there will be no official delegation from any of the governments, according to the CBC.
The Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he was doing it as "it's in Australia's national interest." He also said that it was "the right thing to do."
