Chinese state media is reporting that a former Canadian diplomat is being questioned on suspicion of harming China's national security. <br />Michael Kovrig, who now works for the International Crisis Group, was detained in the country on Monday, just days after the arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer in Canada.<br />The Canadian government says it sees no explicit link to the Huawei case, adding it is seeking consular access to Kovrig as soon as possible.<br />Diplomats in China suggest Beijing could accuse the ICG of spying, which the group has denied. <br />Meanwhile, China's foreign ministry gave no details about Kovrig's arrest, but said the ICG was not registered in China and its activities in the country were illegal.<br />The ICG closed its Beijing office two years ago due to changes in Chinese laws regarding NGOs. <br />
