As Canada frees a Huawei boss, China lets two Canadians out of jail

in December 2018 was abandoned. They were hostages after all. Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor had been detained nine days after Meng Wanzhou, a Huawei executive, was taken into custody in Canada on behalf of America on charges related to the alleged violation of Iran sanctions. On Saturday morning in China, 1,020 days later, the “two Michaels”, as they became known, were freed from prison and boarded a plane to Canada, just as Ms Meng was flying from Vancouver to China.

The Justice Department said Ms Meng had confirmed “the crux” of their case, which was that she and her colleagues at Huawei “engaged in a concerted effort to deceive global financial institutions, the US government and the public about Huawei’s activities in Iran.” Three hours later, in British Columbia, a judge freed Ms Meng from the very loose form of house arrest she had been serving while fighting extradition to America.

Canadian authorities had initially detained Ms Meng at the request of the Justice Department on December 1st, 2018, while she was in transit at Vancouver International Airport. Nine days later the two Michaels were detained by Chinese authorities, supposedly on suspicion of “endangering state security”, spurring an international outcry. In March this year they were each tried on espionage-related charges in separate trials.

Her fate in China will be..... Imagine it!

You brain is bad，traffic in narcotics is illegal at china.

加拿大就是美国的宠物狗 而且是智商很低的狗

U.S.A dumped Canada Bombardier jetliner at the brink of bankruptcy... After that, the idiots of Canadian cabinet act as U.S Agent to kidnap China Huawei CFO...and try to kill Huawei... Yesterday, the world saw U.S.A DoJ used Canadian as toilet paper...on resolving this issue

You’d be crazy to travel to China from a western country or Japan after this.

Never trust dictatorship

HKer20682966 Diplomacy with CCP China = Diplomacy with a state which kidnaps innocent foreigners for hostage diplomacy

Canadian is hostages. Say no to China. CCPChina

Thanks to the US and Canada for teaching China how to hostage taking. It apparently works.

So it's ok for white people to hold an innocent Chinese woman hostage for three years in order to slow down Huawei's meteoric rise and win the 5G war but OMG how dare Chinese people use the same strategy against white people.

I am a Chinese,I know nothing about her contribution.

Thank you for spelling out all this. I'm sorry the governments of America and Canada didn't speak out.

Canada did it first? Why blame China？Double standards

Should the title change to 'Canada and America officials may well conclude that hostage-taking works. But their bullying has come at a diplomatic and strategic cost'

The U.S. long-arm jurisdiction law was completely blocked by China, but the author did not dare to accuse the U.S. of shamelessness. The United States can bully France, Germany, and Japan, but China has the courage and strength to fight back.

they been gobbling 'diplomatic' costs since day one and they are still here in your face 🌼||

Economist is the mothpiece of whom

spy

hahahaha, bullying is all America made, how can we take credits for this? Look at Alstom. and Canada? in this case, I consider them as ... American agency.

LOW economist is as low as ever! who is the bully first?

AUSSIES BUYING NUCKS SUB FROM UK AND US LETS SEE THE GAME TO START

bullshit！Canada illegally helped US hostage Mrs Meng first, China just fought back with US’s way.

中國共產黨搞這歡迎大會只是勝利慶功會,不是只為個人. 向世界發出明確訊息,中國人不會輕易屈服,對每個中國人都有好處,中國人在國外從此有免於被任意逮捕的自由.

Hostage diplomacy works! CCP will do this again and probably will hold more foreigners as hostages next time.

Now let's keep Canada Huawei free. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Who the hell started? China does not want to play the trick, unless being forced to do.

People will never forget what China did to the two Micheal’s. I mean who would ever go to China and risk being arrested for political purposes. Messed up country.

This whole things SUX so badly in so many different levels.. there are no winners

Let’s see how Chinese media tries to spin what was clearly an official retaliatory hostage taking by China..

Don't compare two prisoners with a kidnapped lady

thanks

Full marks to the Chinese for zero hypocrisy… Hostage taking as diplomacy will be a norm now.

difference between spies and the innocent.

So all this political grand standing and millions in legal costs was for nothing. On top of that, the Huawei exec was freed days after the Canadian election. I can’t help but think Trudeau manipulated all of Canada.

So mean,Canadians and US China doesn’t need to say anything. Their actions are saying all we need to know - in 72 point type. Two Canadian criminals were deported. It's not worth mentioning! The mengwanzhou case is a political kidnapping case! Start with politics and end with politics. What else is the legal system? One side is acquittal, and the other is the criminal's recovery of a dog's life!
