The arrest of
Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver on Dec.6 sent shock waves through
stock markets and around the world. She is the company’s chief financial
officer and daughter of its founder Ben Zhengfei.
The arrest was in response to a request from the US, who want Ms. Meng extradited as part of an investigation of an alleged scheme to use the global banking system to evade US sanctions against Iran.
Prime Minister Trudeau said that though he had no prior knowledge of the arrest, nevertheless stated it was made by the appropriate authorities. The Chinese got quiet snotty about it and retaliated by arresting two Canadians in China, a diplomat and a businessman, who have no connection with the matter.
Fearing Ms. Mehg a flight risk she was released on bail, but has to wear an electronic ankle bracelet.
Whether the lady is guilty or not is hardly the point, which is capitalism is a system based on deceit. No capitalist ever has, or will, say to a worker, ”You are an idiot for letting me exploit you”.
