Alleged spy for China arrested
魁北克Hydro 36岁的锂电池研究员王月生博士（音）以涉嫌为中国大学和研究中心窃取EV电池资料而被捕，明天出庭，最高刑罚10年。他于8月被停职，11月2日被开除，11月14日被捕，11月底以20万元保释，另加他的女朋友$1000。保释期间他需要带GPS定位装置，他的中国护照被没收，没有发现他试图逃离加拿大。
他在魁北克 Hydro 工作了6年,年薪12万，期间申请了15所中国大学的工作，没有证据显示他与中国军方有关联。被监视期间，发现他曾与华为人员有过接触，一起爬山。
他面临四项指控：为中国获取商业机密，损害加拿大经济利益，以欺诈手段获得计算机服务，故意获取商业机密和违反信任。
他否认所有指控，说他发往他的私人email address的邮件都是公开的资讯，任何人都可以访问的。这些文件的传输违反了Hudro 魁北克的政策。
The judge said the four charges Wang faces have grounds, but noted the accused — a Chinese citizen — is presumed innocent, and took the rare step of testifying about the evidence the RCMP gathered against him.
At his bail hearing last week, Wang denied spying for China and argued any documents he emailed from his Hydro-Québec address to a personal one were already public and accessible to anyone. The transfer of documents violated Hydro-Québec policy.
Wang, 36, faces four charges: obtaining a trade secret for the benefit of China to the detriment of Canada’s economic interests; fraudulently obtaining a computer service; knowingly obtaining a trade secret; and breach of trust.
The judge noted there is no evidence Wang planned to flee Canada after he was suspended in August from his job at Hydro-Québec, where he worked as a researcher in lithium batteries.
The RCMP also produced no evidence Wang planned to flee after he was fired on Nov. 2. Wang had been earning $120,000 a year.
In August, Hydro-Québec contacted the RCMP after having conducted its own internal investigation.
“Notably, Mr. Wang transmitted an email to his personal address containing certain information about Project X, a Hydro-Québec project where the information was confidential,” Labrie said, summarizing the evidence.
Wang is alleged to have transmitted another confidential document related to a project Hydro-Québec was working on for the U.S. military. Wang was not working on the latter project.
While he was under surveillance, the RCMP noticed Wang sometimes went for long hikes on Mount St-Bruno, including one with a person tied to Huawei — the Chinese company banned by the Canadian government in May — and also tied to HiNa, a battery company based in China and a competitor of Hydro-Québec’s.
“Mr. Wang affirms that he loves Canada and his work for Hydro-Québec. However, he concedes that if he were offered an interesting job, he would not hesitate to move to China to work for a university with a good reputation,” Labrie said.
“He categorically denies the charges brought against him. He supplied several explanations linked to the revelations revealed by the investigation and exposed the defence he would make in a trial.
“He said that he came to Canada of his own will and not on a request from the Chinese government or anyone else. Mr. Wang denies categorically that he transferred any documents that were confidential.”
Wang began working for Hydro-Québec in 2016 on a work permit and has equity in two properties: his home in Candiac and a condo in Montreal.
Labrie ordered Wang to have a notary prepare a $200,000 bond based on the equity in the two properties before he can be released.
Another condition requires Wang’s girlfriend, also a Chinese citizen, to make a $1,000 bond toward his release.
Labrie agreed with defence lawyer Gary Martin’s offer last week for Wang to carry a cellular phone with GPS locator technology at all times to allow the RCMP to track him.
Wang is required to turn over his Chinese passport to the court and is not allowed to apply for a new one.
