#Meng's release shows quiet diplomacy works much better than noisy rhetoric.

A political compromise in which three countries all can claim a win for themselves is the best we can expect.

Maybe more "quiet diplomacy" between China and the US?
China's message by investing so much in securing Meng's freedom is probably that it will not accept bully by Washington.

Even less from Canada.

Following Meng's detention, Chinese business executives avoid flying North America for fear of arbitrary arrest. 2)
There're people saying that the "hostage exchange" proves how "bad" China is.

But it's Trump regime who initiated this hostage taking saga.

Trump referred to Meng as bargaining chips.

Also, attacks on Huawei happened against a big picture of Trump's tech war on China... 3)

Guten Morgen!

Gestern Abend gab es einen Putsch-Versuch von #Trump-Unterstützer.
Mehrheitlich kamen diese aus der rechtsradikalen Szene.
Im Fokus stand #Washington & dort das #Kapitol/#Capitol.

Allerdings kam es auch in anderen Bundesstaaten zu Ausschreitungen. /TN #Thread
Wir haben gestern Abend und die halbe Nacht über diese kaum zu glaubenden Vorfälle berichtet. Einen Großteil unserer Tweets dazu findet ihr hier:
Was war passiert?

Terroristen sind vor dem #Kapitol aufmarschiert, um um gegen die Zertifizierung der Präsidentschaftswahlergebnisse zu protestieren.

Die Lage spitzte sich so zu, dass einige von ihnen das Kapitol stürmten. /TN

#Goodnews aus den #USA

Das Oberhaupt der rechtsradikalen #ProudBoys, Henry #Tarrio, wurde in #Washington wegen Sachbeschädigung und Mitführung zweier Schusswaffen-Magazine festgenommen. /TN #TrumpTapes #Republikaner

Der Chef der #ProudBoys wurde festgenommen? Kein Grund für seine Jünger, sich zu mäßigen - die prügeln sich in #Washington kräftig mit der Polizei. "Thin Blue Line" am Arsch? /MS
#Trump-Supporter haben die Absperrungen am Kapitol in #Washington (#USA) durchbrochen und versuchen das Parlament zu stürmen. Ach du Scheiße. /MS

Can we stop pretending that the US doesn’t swap prisoners?

#Meng #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage
A great deal of the drama around the #Meng case involves political theatre.

Sometime soon, if not now, Meng will have served more time under house arrest in Canada than she would serve if sentenced by the US. #cdnpoli
At that point, watch for some kind of deal, which governments will pretend is not happening or otherwise rationalize.

This is close to what happened in the Su Bin case, when 2 Cdns were abducted and detained by China. #cdnpoli #Meng

Important context re #Meng Wanzhou:

She is not the US DOJ’s primary target.

The indictment charges 3 other defendants, all corporate entities that the US can proceed against.
1/. #cdnpoli
In these matters it’s unusual to charge individuals.

When the US brought virtually identical charges against ZTE, they didn’t name anyone personally.
The decision to charge Meng appears to have been strategic.

In this case the DOJ, State, & Defense depts appeared to be working together to escalate against China.

Their theory has always been that China is a rational actor that will respond to increased sanctions.
