Meng Wanzhou, left, chief financial officer of Huawei, leaves her home in Vancouver, on Friday, Sept. 24, 2021. U.S. prosecutors are prepared to resolve criminal charges against the chief financial officer of Chinese communications giant Huawei Technologies, the Justice Department disclosed Friday in a letter to a federal judge in New York.
In an emailed statement, Huawei said it was looking forward to Meng’s return and would “continue to defend itself against the allegations.” The case had caused a huge rift in China-Canada relations, with Beijing launching regular broadsides against the Canadian justice system and banning some imports from the country. In addition, two Canadians convicted in separate drug cases in China were sentenced to death in 2019. A third, Robert Schellenberg, received a 15-year sentence that was abruptly increased to the death penalty after Meng’s arrest. It wasn’t immediately clear if those prisoners might receive any reprieve.
The case against Meng stemmed from a January 2019 indictment from the Justice Department of the administration of former President Donald Trump. It accused Huawei of stealing trade secrets and using a Hong Kong shell company called Skycom to sell equipment to Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions. The indictment also charged Meng herself with committing fraud by misleading the HSBC bank about the company’s business dealings in Iran.
This proves that China is a terrorist country taking those Canadians hostage

i hope they mean their beloved SPY
Spies being swapped.
🖕🏻 🇨🇳
She stays in a nice cozy house when the Canadians are in a jail cell with the lights on 24 hrs a day. Torture. It’s no wonder people punch at them when they see them in the street.
It's an oligarchy of ruthless pragmatists... ruthless being the key word. There's nothing these people won't do. Morality is for children and fools in their eyes. Murder, kidnapping, intimidation - simply tools of statecraft. How do you fight this kind of evil?
Silence21240183 China has no regard for human lives and will resort to kidnapping and torture to gain leverage. Why would any country do business with them?
Nations around the world should search out and round up all the ccp member spies and deport them. Confiscate their property and financial accounts.
You mean, they released Canadian hostages.
It seems we have evidence the Canadian arrests were purely retaliation. Take note of China preferred methods of diplomacy.
Another bloody failure of the US diplomacy, if there is still diplomacy in the country.
The USA started hostage diplomacy and made this world much more dangerous. Many countries will detain Americans to exchange hostages taken by the USA.
CSIS is welcoming its two spies back. Spies can be released after 3 years but not the Canadian drug dealer and rapist.
Arbitrary detentions taken for political means, based on flimsy or dubious evidence, is a breach of human rights and our democratic standards.
China took 2 Canadians Hostage. That is the Point. China took 2 Canadians Hostage. China took 2 Canadians Hostage.
Really? Gullible 😃
Meng did not plead guilty, but the Canadian did.
