So what was up with Trump's statements that she was available as a bargaining chip in trade talks?  The hypocrisy of you yanks knows no limits! 

I'm not a yank, and that was trump just talking his usual s**t. The case was not swayed by the US or China. Personally, I wish we had not been dragged into the middle of this, but now that we are, we will deal with it appropriately using the rule of law.

Canada should first look into Commonwealth legal precedents and give them serious and extraordinary weight when adjudicating this extradition case. There's the arrogant diplomat-wannabe who murdered Harry Dunn and escaped prosecution in the UK by returning to the US and preposterously and shamelessly claiming diplomatic immunity. These long-nosed bullies have the audacity.

 

Good on China for standing their ground.  

Read the judicial decision. Legal precedents going back into the 1800s were referenced. They were given serious and extraordinary weight. 

 

Good on China? Do you see how the two Canadians in custody are being treated while Meng lives in her $10 miilion dollar house and can freely walk around Vancouver? You really need to get some perspective.

Please read post #23 and the entire judgement which explains the law, relevant cases, and analysis. Canadian sanctions on Iran have no relevance in the case.

That would be too much work. It's much easier to make an opinion based on zero facts, and then get really angry about it...

Non-American.

 

Detained outside of America.

 

For allegedly breaking American laws while not in America.

 

 

America should be boycotted every time they get non-Americans detained in other countries for allegedly breaking American laws without ever having been there.

She broke US banking laws on banking transactions within the US. That puts her within US jurisdiction.

 

At least understand the case before spouting anti-US vitriol.

So is there anything wrong with the post you reacted to?

 

Is she an American? Was she in the US? Was she detained in America?

Just because you don't have an understanding of the law, or you just don't like it, doesn't make this process wrong. It has been explained in a few posts already so just scroll up if this is too confusing for you.

So no answer to my question.

She "allegedly" lied to bankers in Hong Kong about affiliations with a company doing business with Iran. The bank would not have done business with her knowing the truth. As a result, HSBC moved over $100 million dollars for her through US clearing houses. That is where US banking laws were broken, and the fraud was her law. She is charged with bank fraud. She was arrested in Canada because US exercised the extradition treaty. That is how a non-American is arrested outside of the US for breaking US laws.

 

To put it in simpler terms - if I'm in Thailand and I hack a bank in France, and get stopped going through London, and sent to France for trial, you would not be in an uproar, even though i'm not French and not on French soil. It is possible to break any countries laws while outside of the country. In fact, Thailand's Lege Majeste law extends beyond the borders, and many countries have human trafficking laws for offences that occur outside of their own country.

Thanks for that, and for confirming the poster you reacted to with 'at least understand the case before spouting anti-US vitriol' was correct.

He was not correct - he called for a boycott of the US for an action that is fully recognized under international law. That was the vitriol.

You mean you disagree with his opinion. Yes, that is your good right.

Does Canada have similar sanctions on Iran? If the answer is no, how then can the Canadian bank be put at risk. Such a miscarriage of justice. 

 

How many billions of dollars did American investors lose because the management of Luckin Coffee lied to their investors about revenue numbers?  She's in the crosshairs because she lied about Huawei's exposure to risk from their dealings with Iran.  Forgetting whether doing business with Iran is a crime in Canada, lying to your investors and creditors is fraud almost anywhere you go. 

 

With one glaring exception, where it's almost mandatory.  That according to Tsun Tsu.

 

Edit:  I'd also suggest that former Luckin management refrain from landing anywhere that has an extradition treaty with the USA...

This whole mess is entirely the fault of the utterly incompetent Trudeau regime.  All the Canadians had to do (in December 2018) to avoid being embroiled in this was to tell the Huawei princess that if she got off the plane in Vancouver, she would be immediately arrested.

 

Stay home (as we are constantly told these days)....if Trudeau had told her to stay home, none of this

BS would be happening.

 

 

This event was initiated by John Bolton,  former USA National Security Advisor. 

Trump did not care about this matter as trump understood holding her up in Canada or USA is not useful in any way of stopping Huawei.   ( How often Trump tweeted about her ? ) 

 

Canadian government was willing to go along.  And Canadian public support this action while entire world had laughed at Canada about this case since Dec 2018.

"Gotta laugh", JeffersLOS? Don't you realize it that American law is global law that all nations have to uphold or face sanction?  That has been demonstrated demostrated repeatedly by the bullying US government over the decades. Now China is learning how to bully nations better than the US did and do.

I read the 26 page judicial decision. The Iran sanctions were not the "essence" of the case. The lies made by Weng were the essence of the fraud, and the Iranian sanctions were a "state of affairs". And this a big differentiator in how extradition cases are judged.  But that would not matter in your beloved China, because the case would be decided purely on it's political merit. It's quite obvious from the Chinese propaganda rags that it is seriously beyond Chinese comprehension how a case would not be influenced by politics.

 

If you can get to the judicial decision over the great firewall, you should give it a read. But don't get caught - might lower your social score!

You do know that TV is clocked in China ???? .
