Michael Kovrig

Michael Kovrig (born February 3, 1972) is a Canadian geopolitical advisor, analyst, writer, and former diplomat. In December 2018, he was detained in Beijing by Chinese authorities and held for 1,019 days on charges widely seen as politically-motivated and retaliatory for the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. On September 24, 2021, he was released and returned to Canada after the United States reached a deferred prosecution agreement with Meng.

Currently, Kovrig works for the International Crisis Group (ICG) as a Senior Advisor specializing in Asia-Pacific affairs and Chinese foreign policy.
