Episode Details

A Canadian computer scientist, Biwei Zhang, faces serious espionage charges in Belgium, accused of spying for China and being part of a criminal organization — potentially facing up to 10 years in prison. Her appeal for release was denied, and her trial won’t begin for at least a year due to the case’s gravity and risk of flight.
