China announced this week that it had set court dates for Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, who have been detained in the country since 2018 on suspicion of espionage. Spavor's trial ended Friday morning with no verdict, while Kovrig's trial is set for Monday. We speak with Kovrig's wife, Vina Nadjibulla, about her reaction to the latest developments. And Lynette Ong, associate professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs, and Evan Medeiros, who teaches U.S.-China relations at Georgetown University, tell us what they think Canada needs to do to bring the two men home.
