Definitely puts the whole thing in perspective.

From what I read it sounds like neither was a spy but maybe Kovrig was an asset? An unnamed official who knows them both called Spavor utterly naive so he’s more likely an unlucky dude, wrong place and wrong time kinda thing.
Either way the whole thing seems really sloppy and totally political for the Chinese. 1,000 days in Chinese prison sounds like hell.
