A Chinese citizen transferring flights in Vancouver, Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of the Chinese tech firm Huawei Technologies, was arbitrarily detained in Canada at the behest of the United States. The vile act was a serious violation of the lawful rights and interests of a Chinese citizen, triggering a tornado of criticism and creating unnecessary tensions between the two countries. In a commentary bylined Zhong Sheng ("Voice of China"), the People’s Daily sternly condemned the act by Canada and the US, saying the detention of an individual without clear reason constitutes a flagrant violation of human rights. It said Canadian police even ignored the spirit of the law by presuming Meng Wanzhou guilty without trial, trampling on her basic human rights, and insulted her personal dignity by handcuffing and shackling her like she was some kind of notorious criminal. Canada should really reflect on what it means to be a civilized country with laws—and for that matter, a sovereign country. Canada and the United States have a special relationship and the two countries share deeply integrated economies. However, as the arrest of Meng Wanzhou shows, Canada sometimes acts more like America’s “51st state” than a sovereign country with a will of its own. Rather than frequently act like America’s trusty sidekick, Canada should exercise its sovereign right to reject the underlying anti-China bias driving the US government’s plan to crush Huawei, and instead do what is best for Canada and its important and growing relationship with China. As Canada’s second largest trading partner in agriculture and food, China is vital to the continued growth of the Canadian economy. The use of all kinds of dirty tricks to suppress Huawei has exposed some truly dark intentions toward China and its leading technology firms, but those who harbor such intentions are destined to shoot themselves in the foot. This is because every move that Huawei makes affects the world. Huawei, which its founder Ren Zhengfei started with just 20,000 yuan in Shenzhen some three decades ago, has grown to become one of the world’s most valuable companies, with more than 2,000 component and service suppliers, including Chinese companies such as AAC Technologies, BYD, and Foxconn, but also American companies such as Qualcomm, Intel, and Broadcom. After it was reported that Huawei’s CFO was detained by Canadian authorities, US stocks fell sharply across the board. The People’s Daily commentary warned that while China does not want to cause trouble, China is not afraid of trouble either, adding that it would be a mistake to underestimate the confidence, will, and strength of the country. After learning about Meng Wanzhou’s detention in Canada, the Chinese government lodged a protest with the Canadian side, made clear its position, and provided consular assistance to the Chinese national. On Saturday, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng summoned Canada’s Ambassador to China, John McCallum, to issue a stern warning: immediately release our citizen or bear the consequences. Then, on Sunday, the Chinese side summoned US Ambassador to China Terry Branstad to protest Meng Wenzhou’s detention by Canadian authorities at the unreasonable behest of the United States. China’s message to Canada is clear: Canada must correct its mistake and immediately stop violating her lawful rights and interests, as well as give the Chinese people a proper explanation for this disgusting and vile act made at the behest of the United States. Otherwise, as the Chinese side has warned, Canada will pay a heavy price. Poster Comment: Tatarewicz.... Today's police who made Meng's arrest are still the same kind of dummies of Shakespeare's "Constable Elbow" times who just just follow some political regulation. Despite being reasonably well educated police don't say: hey, this doesn't make, sense; this is an important industrialist from whom Canadians can benefit and has committed no crime. Police pretend they are unaware that US Iran sanctions are illegal fakery since the Persian nation has done no harm nor poses any threat to US. The sanctions were only imposed because Iran has interfered in the illegal "Greater Israel" scheme in Syria and because Israel's lobby has control of US Congress as a result of campaign funding of candidates who pledge loyalty to the illegal squatter state. Crazy, but that's reality. Meng's lawyers should make it clear that at any trial they will expose to the world this under-handed dominance of US foreign policy; political toadies in US and Canada will drop the case like a hot potato to avoid having voters learn about such nonsense. Keng Long • War and sanction against Iran is the Zionist Apartheid Israel Jew problem, it none of USA and Canada business, coward Zionist Jew neocon oligarch corrupt and rule Anglo five eyes, head quarter in Apartheid Israel. coward Zionist Jew neocon oligarch are old enemy of China and East Asian for the last 150yrs, 100+millions of innocent Chinese and Asian bloods are on the Jew hands, Former premier Zhou Enlai said's " History don't lies, History will remember ", waking up China, get the oven ready, holocaust 2.0 is imminent, finish the job the German start.

Let's face it. Canada is not the U.S. and there is no Bill of Rights there, or in China either for that matter. I pray we never have another Constitutional Convention here since there would be no way to control what was being done and they might scrap the entire Constitution in favor of some other less favorable form of government. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one."
