## Resource

A Canadian systems engineer, identified as Biwei Zhang (also known as Claire Zhang and Catina Zhang), was arrested in Belgium on espionage charges after working as an intern at NATO’s headquarters. With a background spanning the Canadian Space Agency, Statistics Canada, the WTO, and the ESA, her resume raised red flags. The case has ignited scrutiny over Canada’s security vetting for international roles, as officials vow to review procedures. Zhang remains in custody while investigations continue, exposing how even internships in sensitive environments can become high-stakes security vulnerabilities.
