While the administrative action is opaque, the B.C. Supreme Court isn't, and they found Bluevec guilty of "misusing its confidential information and selling a direction-finding code to Chinese anti-drone company".
That, to me, doesn't "look like industrial espionage", but rather is pretty clear cut.

If the article is to be believed, it's two chinese co-workers who transferred to canada and started two competing firms in canada. And one stole tech from the other. My advice is stop reading comments from 'China hawk' shills like JumpCrisscross but read the article. 'The two met when working in the Beijing office of Fortinet, a cybersecurity firm. Both transferred to Fortinet’s Vancouver office and became good friends. After Liu left the company in 2016 to form SkyCope and work on developing anti-drone technology, Jia joined him months later as SkyCope’s chief technology officer.'
- jszymborski 2y agoThe courts found that they sold the tech to a Chinese-owned company ("selling a direction-finding code to Chinese anti-drone company Beijing Lizheng Technology"). In the defence space, this is an issue of national security. I've only made reference to the article, literally quoting it.
