Literally the first 4 Paragraphs:

asked for clemency in the drug-related accusations involving the dual citizens.

Beijing’s embassy in Ottawa said the executions were due to drug crimes and noted that China does not recognize dual citizenship.

“We strongly condemn the executions,” Joly told reporters in Ottawa. “I asked personally for leniency … They were all dual citizens.”

Great to know thanks! Sad to say but this is much less of a news story. China doesn’t care about dual citizenship, this would have been a huge escalation if they hadn’t been and it’s click-bait that the article title doesn’t mention it.
