If I had to guess, this is an attempt to look less ridiculous to the Europeans.

BBC News:

A Chinese technology executive held in Canada on US fraud charges has left the country after a deal with prosecutors, following years of diplomatic tensions over her fate.

Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei, was detained on fraud charges in December 2018 at the request of the US.

On Friday, the US Department of Justice dropped an extradition request for her.

The case infuriated China and strained relations with the US and Canada.

It also prompted accusations that China had detained Canadian citizens in retaliation, which China denied.

“My life has been turned upside down. It was a disruptive time for me,” Ms Meng told reporters after being freed from Canadian detention.

“Every cloud has a silver lining,” she continued, adding: “I will never forget all the good wishes I received from people around the world.”

Shortly afterwards she boarded an Air China flight bound for the Chinese city of Shenzhen, AFP news agency reports.

The whole Australian-French-US-UK submarine fiasco, and the weird saber-rattling that followed, kind of made America look as insane as its leadership actually is.

If America is really planning on stirring up some kind of serious conflict with China, they definitely can’t have Europe just bailing on the entire NATO project, which is looking like what would obviously happen right now.

The problem is, the Chinese are so timid and careful that it is just impossible to make it look like “China started it.”

The US Military is constantly circling Chinese territory with war planes and racing warships back and forth through their waters, while making nonstop threats. The media doesn’t really report on it, but since Biden took over, the military has just started directly menacing China nonstop.

What exactly does Europe get from a war with China?

Europe surely believes in hardcore anal rimjobs, child trannies, and women getting gang-banged by blacks, but they don’t have the same desire to force it on the world that the US has.

The only reason Europe would go along with a war with China is if they felt the US had the ability to intimidate them into it. And even then, the people of Europe won’t go along with it, so the leaders, already pressed by enforcing the mandates of Lord Fauci, are going to be in a pickle. There’s a real chance that the US just looks so ridiculous at this point that Europeans would just be like “yeah okay, actually – no.”

So that’s why I think they released Meng. To make themselves look less deranged. Kidnapping a powerful tech executive who was on a business trip in Canada was a really, really wild thing to do. Like, imagine if Elon Musk was on a business trip in Malaysia, and the Chinese government ordered him kidnapped by Malaysian cops, claiming that he’d illegally violated Chinese sanctions against Taiwan. That would literally be the exact inverse of what happened.

What do you think America would do if that happened?

In China’s case, they just said “China people has a feeling this is very bad behavior and unfriendliness with a nasty spirit of rudefulness.”

There is no single person on earth who would willingly choose to deal with the Americans instead of the Chinese.

America is now like a belligerent drunken police officer with an assault rifle running around a resort hotel and forcing vacationers to have butt sex with each other.

  1. good work Agent Anglin. Your FBI handlers will put a little star in your personnel file.

    In China’s case, they just said “China people has a feeling this is very bad behavior and unfriendliness with a nasty spirit of rudefulness.”

    umm….nnnno actually, that’s not what the Chinese did Agent Anglin. Even retarded kids know about the Canadians hostages dubbed “The Two Michaels” (how cute and fluffy!)

    Portraying ‘Europe’ as somehow having the strength to overthrow Globo-Homo is beyond comical. They’re finished.

    This piece of fish wrapping was posted on ‘The Daily Stormer’? Man, you people sure do love being led by the nose don’t you? Rename that rag to ‘The Gay Informer’ to more accurately portray what is being done.

    Thanks for reading Agent Anglin. Stay tuned!

    Huawei and Meng have made the decision to sacrifice herself if necessary. So there’d be no point keeping the hostage. Either send her to jail and take China’s retaliation, or release her.

    Pretty much the case. After all, what was in it for Canada to act as the US poodle and get itself involved in a worthless scrap with China? What interest did any NATO country have in being involved in Afghanistan? They’re just flunkies being ordered about by the US even when it’s against their interests. Now the US is attempting to organize a coalition against China, in Asia as well as Europe, a bunch of disposable chumps who’ll be abandoned should things not work out as planned.

    Last night I had a dream.

    [MORE]

    ===================================

    I was at work proposing a new and novel idea. Finally, I got grudging support. But only because nothing was working anymore for the in-crowd.

    I was to lead a multi-cultural team to Madagascar. Juan was a technically proficient Guatamalen who had managed networks for the Cartels. Juan spoke decent English. There was also a recent immigrant from West Africa who barely spoke any English at all. We communicated largely through goodwill gestures and sincere attempts to listen to each other, nodding our heads in agreement no matter what was said. Though I wanted to believe that we were all in alignment, still, it was tense.

    In Madagascar, we found ourselves at the end of a long pier where we boarded a fishing boat and ventured out to sea. Armed only with light spin-cast tackle, I soon managed to reel in a luah from the depths.

    The luah measured about 4 feet in length and resembled a plesiosaur. It was young. Yet, there was a repulsive Stygian aura about it that made everyone loath to touch it. It had slimy, greenish-yellow skin, cold reptilian eyes and a mouth full of menacing, needle sharp teeth that swayed at the end of a long undulating neck. The luah was able to breath out of water.

    But the luah was no breakthrough in itself. For the luah was already well known to science, much like the coelocanth.

    Instead, there was a deeper significance to this catch that was written on the back of a torn off matchbook cover that I was forced to carry with me like a piece of contraband. I found myself constantly reaching into my pocket while no one was looking to feel around and make sure it was still there. This made me feel self-conscious, as though I was performing some inappropriate act in public.

    Returning to the pier and with little help from my team who refused to come into contact with the luah, I managed to wrestle the slimy beast onto a public bus where I had to clamp the luah’s mouth shut with my bare hands to keep it from biting, much like an alligator wrangler. Although we were in Madagascar, the passengers all looked and behaved like Mexican peasants. They averted their eyes and knew to mind their own business. It was a long trip back to the airport.

    Back at work, I displayed my loathsome prize. Despite continued skepticism, I received approval for another expedition. Although this time it would be in the company of an entourage of higher-ups. Though I recognized who these people were, their faces were dour and remained hidden in the shadows.

    In order to lighten the situation, I made some attempts at levity. But only a Jewish woman who traveled amongst them seemed to get my jokes. She had to laugh inspite of herself. But she warned me with another joke that only I seemed to understand that my humour was getting too close to the truth. I reflexively felt for the matchbook cover, relieved to find it was still there.

    Night had fallen. Back in Madagascar at the end of the pier there was now an atmosphere of confusion as though any support for the mission had faltered. Despite my success in bringing back the luah, my original plans seemed to be slipping though my fingers. Support had waned. But for no reason that anyone could articulate.

    Soon it was obvious that it was all over. There was to be no subsequent fishing expedition. A signal was given. We were all to return separately. I and my team got in a rental car with the luah still breathing in the back seat. The higher-ups piled into another car.

    I drove back up the pier in the dark towards the airport. But I did not see the other car behind me. I pulled over under the pale light of a street lamp to allow them to catch up. Finally, I saw them. But they were in a dark car driving with the lights off. Vainly, I attempted to flash a light at them warning them of this danger. But they ignored me as they passed. The only face that reflected any light was that of the Jewish woman, but only dimly. And she continued to look straight ahead. Then they disappeared into the blackness.

    ===================================

    That’s when I woke up.

    Meng Wanshou was arrested while transiting in Vancouver airport in Canada on her way to Mexico. She was retained then taken directly from the plane, in a procedure with a series of legal improprieties.

    The US charged and arrested a non American representing a non American company doing business with a non American bank in a non American jurisdiction while she was transiting in a nation that was not the US.

    After nearly three years, she is now freed with a Not Guilty plea. At least the US got a ransom out of this kidnapping, which is better than what it got out of 20 years of war in Afghanistan.

    The US got Alstom and its technology by kidnapping and jailing Frédéric Pierucci for 5 years. They did not get Huawei this time but they have just arrested a top executive of Russian natural-gas producer Novatek which is doing business with Germany.

  11. What was Huawei’s supposed crime? Quick answer: Failing to obey the evil empire’s unilateral and completely illegal demands not to engage in trade with Iran.

  12. @AA

    That is the only role the Canadian state has played in the last eighty years. The rapidly disappearing cultural differences between Canadians and US Americans made some of the wars of naked aggression a hard sell among the silly Canadian population, so the military-industrial complex in Canada was always brought in through the back door. The Canadian state has made sure to perform loyally for the US Empire whenever and wherever needed, be that in supporting the grotesque war crimes in SE Asia during the sixties and seventies, or training the cadres used to overthrow African statesmen like Nkrumah and Lumumba, or perform coolie duties during the illegal assault on Iraq in 2003.
    Canada is more than ready to offer a reach-around to Uncle Sam at the first nod.

  13. Yee says:

    AA,

    “It must rankle for the Canadians to act as butt-boys for the Americans.”

    Canada was enthusiastic to take order from the US… If they were unwilling, there were plenty of ways to avoid doing it without saying a flat out “no”. Like Hongkong handled the US request to extradite Snowden, only needed to delay paper work for a few days and tell Snowden to leave.

    CIA was ready to wage gun battle in London streets against Russian operatives to kill or snatch Assange, bombshell report claims

    At the peak of preparations for hostilities in 2017, the CIA was allegedly expecting Russian agents to help Assange flee the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. In such a contingency, the Americans, together with the British, were planning to engage in street battles against the Russians, potentially starting a firefight, ramming a Russian diplomatic vehicle, or shooting at the tires of a Russian plane to prevent it from lifting off, the story said. The attempt to spring Assange was reportedly expected on Christmas Eve.

    Puts a new perspective on the “Novichock” story. Anything could happen at any moment, at any time.

    But Assange is out of luck: nobody is ready to capture two Michaels for him, or even pick up the phone. Instead, he gets a judge as real as a passport dropped out of a plane ramming a skyscraper.

    They didn’t need to kidnap her, she was a part time resident of Canada with a large house in Vancouver. All they needed to do was to wait until she landed and then force her to stay in Canada. She continued living in her house and wasn’t allowed to go anywhere without an escort. She continued to have visits from her friends and Chinese government officials with the PRC “consulate” (intelligence center) a couple of miles away from where she lives.

    The mainland Chinese have as their cultural heroes Monkey and Mao. Ethical issues don’t usually concern them in their relationships with non Chinese.They acquiesced to America’s kidnapping with no more than retaliation against Canadian nationals because they can not as yet take on America’s military might. One might note they took as hostage Canadians not Americans. Towards their Pacific neighbours and Hong Kong, the Chinese Government is exceedingly bullying and tyrannical. America has the opportunity to build up popular support in the Pacific as a counter against China. As a Korean once said to me. “We support America, but not America’s support of Israel.?”

    3. Even those anti-communist and brainwashed Chinese in Taiwan, Hong Kong and elsewhere are quietly admitting the positive result – because they understand that they could be the target of arrest by America in future if this turns out the wrong way.
    4. It is giving a tough-love lesson to the serially abused vassal states, e.g. Japan (Toshiba), France (Alstom), Germany (Siemens) and countless others. I don’t know what are their politicians and executives thinking right now: shame, regret, impotency, admiration or some combination of these?

    HSBC, in the contrary to Huawei’s instruction, wired the money to US instead directly to UK, where Huawei’s subsidary locates, which then gave the thuggery US the “excuse” to order its poodle Canada to arrest Meng Wanzhou at the transit area at the airport.

    Given HSBC is infiltrated/co-oped with ex-MI5 spies from the top (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-22737606), you may wonder HSBC made this “mistake” on purpose to help USG to capture Meng Wanzhou in its trade war against China.

    After Meng Wanzhou was illegally kidnapped by Canada, her father Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, said in an interview that Chinese government shouldn’t compromise its trade negotiation with US for the sake to save his daughter, nor would Huawei for that purpose.

    Meng Wanzhou herself also made it clearly she’s prepared to be illegally jailed for many years to come by registering online classes to study.

    It is this kind of fighting spirit and determination both from her and her father that made them endear to hundreds of millions of Chinese and made Chinese government determinate to get her back.

  45. @Jus' Sayin'...

    You are incoherant, but if you are implying that Huawei was evading unilateral United States sanctions, as is often asserted by Chinese apologists, you are 100% wrong. Huawei was evading United Nations sanctions, ratified by The Security Council, of which China is a permanent member with veto. However it was not Huawei that was charged, but Meng Wanzhou, you seem confused on that issue too. The bank involved contacted Huawei after reading a media article that stated Skycom was secretly owned by Huawei, seeking clarification as this exposed the bank to being a party to evading The United Nations sanctions on Iran. Meng Wanzhou went in person and assured bank executives, through a detailed presentation, that Huawei did not own Skycom. This meets the definition of fraud. As the currency passed through American branches of the bank, The United States could lawfully claim jurisdiction. A Grand Jury was called and an indictment for fraud was issued for Meng Wanzhou. This was all reported in the media, freely available to Meng and Huawei. Canada was a party to The United Nations sanctions and has an extradition treaty with The United States. When Meng entered Canada she was lawfully detained. If she had stayed in the transit lounge she would not have been detained. What the China apologists fail to understand was that the original media story that alerted the bank was planted by The US to warn Huawei to cease and desist. If Huawei had shut down the Skycom scam then, no repercussions would have followed. Meng could have delegated the job of lying to the bank to another Huawei officer and avoided trouble, but she is too stupid. Instead she doubled down like the knuckleheaded, entitled, arrogant, careless twat that she is and reaped the consequences, boohoo. Meng Wanzhou needs to apologize to Micheal Kovrig and Micheal Spavor, two innocent Canadians held hostage for three years.

    M&M were arrested on suspicion of working against China’s national security while they were in China. Meng had done nothing against Canada while she was inside or outside Canada. She was kidnapped on the political whim of Dumbo Trump.

    There is no need for her to do anything like that. Amelika is no longer the sole superpower in this world:

    Many experts had expected China to wait a few months to maintain the claim that the two Canadians had been arrested for real crimes.

    The swiftness of the Chinese action signaled, instead, a more important message to the world from the governing Chinese Communist Party: Don’t mess with us.
    .

    China seeks the same global privileges the United States currently has and takes for granted. When it comes to the “rules-based international order” so beloved by Canada and like-minded states, the US government is both proponent and periodic abstainer.

    In other words, the US plays by the rules when it’s in the American national interest to do so. It breaks those rules when it wants to.

No you don’t read, as evidenced by your second “blockquote”(which deleted my sarcastic “boohoo”). All I was pointing out was that if Meng had delegated her act of fraud to another Huawei employee, she would not have been exposed to a Grand Jury indictment for fraud. That is because The United States, unlike China, is governed by the rule of law. There are ways to partially game that system, but you have to be smart, not stupid and arrogant, like the Chinese. Meng comes from an idiotic culture where the rich ignore all laws and norms with impunity, that is CCP Chinese culture. You write that Micheal Kovrig and Micheal Spavor(Say Their Names tiddlewink!!!) were “arrested on suspicion of working against China’s national security”? Whatever that means which is nothing, at least you admit they were arrested without evidence. Another dumbass, hamfisted slope FAIL. Next, and this is getting tiresome, Meng was detained on an extradition request by The United States. Canada has an extradition treaty with the US, and was a party to THE UNITED NATIONS SANCTIONS against Iran that led to Meng’s indictment. Meng was not “kidnapped”, unlike Micheal Kovrig and Micheal Spavor, she was detained lawfully. Your final “Asia Times” blockquote is a perfect example of how China has been gamed. China showed its real ugly face over a minor incident that could have been handled discretely with the same outcome: a non-prosecution agreement in which Meng admited guilt on all points of the indictment but goes free and can even travel to The United States in the future providing she follows the terms of the agreement. Instead China bellows “KOWTOW!!!KOWTOW!!! CHINA GREAT!!! WORLD FEAR CHINA!!!”. Gawd are you people dumbass arrogant chumps.

    Huawei was evading United Nations sanctions, ratified by The Security Council, of which China is a permanent member with veto.

    Gawd are stupid, and you make THREE false statements in one short comment, impressive. One: The United Nations does not impose sanctions on private sector entities, but on nation states, read The United Nations Charter. The United Nations sanctions were over Iran, not Huawei. Two: Yes, the sanctions that Huawei was evading were indeed United Nations sanctions, if you claim they were United States sanctions you are lying or stupid or both, whatever it is you are “Dead Wrong”. Three: Huawei was not charged, it was Meng Wanzhou that was charged. She was charged with fraud because she commited the offense of fraud. Don’t bother quibbling because she has signed a statement admitting that she did indeed perform the actions she was charged with. Meng should have returned quietly to China and discretely serve the terms of her generous and undeservered deferred prosecution agreement, but instead she is hamming it up and declaring she is free because the world fears China’s immense power. Zero class.

    Carefully read my previous post again. Dumbo Trump’s political kidnapping plan back-fired!

    M&M unwittingly became very good tools for China to say, “Don’t mess with us.” 😀 And China has acquired the power to bend the rules its way. Amelika has met it match.

    The swiftness of the Chinese action signaled, instead, a more important message to the world from the governing Chinese Communist Party: Don’t mess with us.
    .

    China seeks the same global privileges the United States currently has and takes for granted. When it comes to the “rules-based international order” so beloved by Canada and like-minded states, the US government is both proponent and periodic abstainer.

    In other words, the US plays by the rules when it’s in the American national interest to do so. It breaks those rules when it wants to.

Meng was not “kidnapped” she was lawfully detained and enjoyed all the rights and privileges of a nation under the rule of law. I explain it all carefully in comments #42,#45,and#52, read them and educate yourself. Micheal Spavor and Micheal Kovrig WERE KIDNAPPED, they were and are entirely innocent and you hamfisted Chinese clowns know it. You simply flew into a rage and seized hostages like the Bronze Age savages you have always been. Now you have demonstrated to the world what you are.

    Garbage! The USA hawked its FRAUDULENT charges, based on its arrogant use of extra-territorial ‘Laws’ to attack foreign states and corporations and lies by HSBC as a result of its deal with the US Justice Yeshiva after it was convicted of numerous crimes, to numerous states. All refused to join the kidnapping, until the pathetic Canucks, taking time out from digging up murdered Indigenous children, agreed, and shot themselves in the foot. The Chinese have undoubtedly identified numerous Western agents in their country, and let them operate or arrest them, or merely warn them off, according to their preference at the time. Forget about bullying the Chinese into submission, White Boss-those days are OVER!

    I admire your tenacity, but both points easily refuted. Canada merely detained Meng, lawfully, under the extradition treaty Canada has with The United States, she was never “on trial” in Canada. I can see you are reasonably well read, Meng’s Canadian defence team used this argument, but it fails. Yes, you are correct regarding the offence, it must be an offence under Canadian law to be extraditable, and it was. Fraud is an offence under Canadian law, but more importantly, Canada was a party to The United Nations sanctions against Iran operative at the time Meng commited her offence. Therefore Meng’s offence meets all criteria for extradition. The Skycom transactions with Iran were processed through American banks therefore The United States lawfully could claim jurisdiction. Every legal criteria was meticulously adhered to in this case. You Chinese, in your extreme ignorant arrogance, can never fathom the depth and purity of the Caucasian Mind. To your second point: I find your use of the term “M&M” for Micheal Kovrig and Micheal Spavor, comparing them to a well known candy, highly offensive, you are attempting to deprive them of humanity, typically Chinese. But you give yourself away using the term “suspected”, you admit that there was no evidence meeting the standard of “probable cause” for arrest. You arrest first, and investigate later, totally bassackwards and absurd.

    [MORE]
    Unlike Meng Wanzhou, they were not granted bail, were held in solitary confinement without consular access, and interrogated repeatedly without benefit of counsel. One trial was held, in secrecy. At no time has the Chinese government presented any evidence that Micheal Kovrig or Micheal Spavor were engaged in espionage, because there is none. What is particularly nauseating about the Chinese government behavior is that the unlawful seizure of Micheal Kovrig and Micheal Spavor as hostages was done so that after the inevitable release of Meng Wanzhou on a deferred prosecution agreement, China could claim that she was released because America feared “Chinese power”. Why didn’t the Chinese seize Americans? The answer is obvious. China seized Canadians because Canada is powerless. Meng was indicted because she arrogantly and carelessly flouted United Nations sanctions against Iran. That couldn’t be ignored. The arrest was a warning not to fuck around. Even if she had been extradited, she would have received a deferred prosecution agreement, the purpose of which was to have her admit the points of the indictment, which she has. Meng recieved due warning to desist years in advance. The media story that led to the bank asking for clarification by Huawei was a warning that went unheeded. Next step was the Grand Jury and indictment, all published in the media, freely available to Huawei and Meng. She arrogantly and stupidly ignored it all. Meng’s arrest was like a spanking, just uncomfortable enough to deter future transgressions. She even enjoyed it. Away from her boring Chinese husband, escorted everywhere by two big, badass White Men tasked with her “security”, she looked content. I noticed she couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the tattooed forearm of one of those dudes. Meng likely indulged in some yummy clitoral fantasies before she fell asleep in her comfortable bed in her $12 million dollar mansion after coming home from a dinner party with deferential Chinese intelligence operatives in a fine restaurant in Vancouver. Best three years of her life.

  74. @Deep Thought

    It was an extradition hearing, no more no less. Meng Wanzhou was not “on trial” in Canada. Since China is lawless(except for Hong Kong) it is understandable you do not understand that. I do admire the charming earnestness of Chinese people, despite your arrogance and ignorant misunderstanding of outsiders, but it is your reflexive pro-Chinese attitudes on everything I find impossible not to like, even as you treat me as an ignorant barbarian, despite the fact I am neither ignorant nor a barbarian. Back to the somewhat tedious subject at hand, Ms Meng was indicted for fraud, and Canada was party to the United Nations sanctions Huawei was evading, thus meeting the criteria for extradition. The United States indictment was lawful, as the transactions passed through American branches of the affected bank. It seems that Meng’s advisors were aware of that, as they attempted to instruct the bank to channel the transactions so as to avoid American banks. That fact would have been very injurious to her defence had her case gone to trial in The United States. Anyway, Ms Meng would have received the same deferred prosecution agreement had she been extradited or at most a plea bargain: plea guilty for a conditional discharge. Just a spanking for being a bad little girl. Ms Meng could have avoided all this merely by delegating to a lower ranking officer of Huawei the task of lying to the bank officials about the Skycom scam. But then she would have missed the thrills of being “escorted” everywhere by big, badass White Men with stiletto tattoos on their forearms, which she could not resist touching in public. I am surprised she didn’t conceive a child with one of those dudes while “on bail”, I’m sure she thought of it. Too bad, would make for a hilarious movie. Regarding Micheal Kovrig and Micheal Spavor, you know damn well they are entirely innocent.

    Everyday Americans have everything to gain from cooperating with the Chinese in win-win collaborations. Everyday Chinese are more intelligent, warm, and fair than they think.

  77. The only reason Europe would go along with a war with China is if they felt the US had the ability to intimidate them into it. And even then, the people of Europe won’t go along with it, so the leaders, already pressed by enforcing the mandates of Lord Fauci, are going to be in a pickle. There’s a real chance that the US just looks so ridiculous at this point that Europeans would just be like “yeah okay, actually – no.”

    So that’s why I think they released Meng. To make themselves look less deranged.

    Good theory BUT awake Europeans still remember the US kidnapping of an Alstom employee for his companies business dealings in Indonesia. US got what they wanted and 70% of Alstom (France) was sold to G.E.

    Perfidy is the US’ stock in trade (or is it the oligarchy – it’s so hard to distinguish the two).

    Bringing up a similar case:
    GE, via USA, had tried to obtain Alstom back in 2014 but they were not successful:
    https://www.ft.com/content/7727582c-f0b6-11e3-9e26-00144feabdc0

    So I guessed they tried subterfuge and lies to get what they wanted eventually.

    Also to note:
    [quote] That facilitated the buyout of 70 per cent of Alstom by its main American competitor General Electric, blocking a potential merger between Alstom and Shanghai Electric Company,” he added. [/quote] as per Mr Frederic Pierucci
    https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/former-exec-of-french-firm-alstom-yesterday-alstom-today-huawei-and-tomorrow

    Doesn’t it raise an eyebrow when the bulk of the US laws are applied against others outside its jurisdiction, unless the USA claims sovereignty over them:
    [quote] Pierre Laporte, a former GE lawyer who now works as Pierucci’s partner, notes that 70% of firms targeted for US anti-bribery action are foreign – notably European. The FCPA and other laws that apply beyond US borders, Laporte says, are “tools of economic domination”. [/quote]
