Lai Changxing, who fled to Canada to avoid being prosecuted on bribery charges, may be extradited back to China after a Canadian court rejected his asylum claim<\/strong><\/a>. From The Star:<\/p>\n

\nLai has been rejected as a refugee in Canada after claiming asylum based on fears that he will be executed if forced to return to face criminal charges for corruption and smuggling.<\/p>\n

Federal court judge Michel Shore dismissed in a ruling Thursday night Lai\u2019s last avenue to avoid deportation, which could happen as early as today.<\/p>\n
