Meng Hongwei whose home country is China was
Interpol President/chief that was reported missing last Oct 2018 after supposedly resigning his position.

"President Xi Jinping has presided over a sweeping corruption crackdown since coming to power in 2012, vowing to target both "tigers" and "flies", a reference to elite officials & ordinary bureaucrats.
The campaign has led to the jailing or punishment of thousands of officials.."
China's President Xi
"...the anti-corruption effort has taken aim at those who express doubt in public about party policies or 💥 are found lacking in💥 political loyalty."
Now former Interpol Chief Meng Hongwei seems part of this crack down to do the party's bidding, or else.

Huawei and Meng are charged with bank and wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud in relation to skirting American sanctions on Iran. Meng was arrested in Canada in December and is still there fighting extradition to the U.S.

cnbc.com/amp/2019/06/19…
The U.S. government alleges that Meng lied to HSBC and other banks about Huawei's relationship with an unofficial subsidiary in Iran called Skycom in order to get banking services.
"In an exclusive interview with CNBC's Deirdre Bosa on Wednesday, Ren said the banks "have full knowledge of all those business activities," referring to the allegations of bank and wire fraud against Huawei and Ren's daughter, Meng Wanzhou, who is also the company's CFO."

#China’s Communist Party has been engaged in an economic campaign of “Unrestricted Warfare” against the Free World since it joined to @WTO in 2001. But they have a weakness in their non-free floating currency, the #yuan. W/ all due respect to @POTUS @realDonaldTrump, his…

@rlefraim: #CHINA’S BIG PROBLEMS

Everyone is watching the mini-trade war between the US and China, but few have been mentioning two important issues about this.
The First, is the fact that the US and China were 95% of the way to agreement, until the week before the deadline. 1
Suddenly, the Chinese reneged on all their promises made in the previous negotiations. Why they did so is a matter of speculation. I can guess, but I may be wrong. 2)
My guess is that they do not understand what is happening in US politics, that they believe the media’s take on Trump and his prospects and they wrongly assume that Trump will be gone soon and they will be able to get a better deal from the Democrats. 3)

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.

#China will attempt a forceful unification with #Taiwan by 2021, the centenary of the Chinese Communist Party. Xi's grand dream of national rejuvenation entails unifying all that #CCP considers Chinese lands, especially Taiwan.

This THREAD looks at this potential scenario.
The legitimacy of the #CCP regime under Xi is based on the twin pillars of economic growth and nationalism. For the party-state, unifying the mainland and Taiwan is critical to its aspirations of national rejuvenation and erasure of national humiliation.
Why would PRC force a unification as early as 2021? 1) 2021 is the centenary of the #CCP; anniversaries and dates have massive symbolic importance in China's political culture. 2) Xi wants unification to be part of his legacy. This is the only way that he can outshine #Mao.
