Canadian scientists Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng were dismissed from the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg due to sharing confidential information with China, posing a "realistic and credible threat to Canada's economic security." The couple's security clearances were revoked, and they were escorted from the lab in 2019, with their termination following in 2021. The Chinese-born scientists' dealings with China raised concerns and became the focus of an investigation by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
