The trial of a former Hydro-Québec employee accused of economic espionage for Beijing began in a Quebec court on Oct. 9, after delays related to the utility’s request to keep certain corporate information confidential.
The trial for Yuesheng Wang, 38, a former employee at Hydro-Québec, was scheduled to begin on Oct. 6 but was delayed after the utility raised concerns that evidence presented in open court could reveal sensitive business and client information. Wang is accused of spying for China while employed at Hydro-Québec.
