#MengWanzhou case explained

In short, the scenario is as follows:
1/ US intended to strike dead Huawei by all means no matter how underhanded. 5G will create 5-10 trillion dollars' wealth and 10 m jobs for China and propel China to No. 1. Huawei must be killed by all means.
2/ US must find a way to arrest Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei or a Huawei key figure and coerce Huawei to handover the technology or face prison and colossal fines. US successfully did this to France's Alsthom. US intends to reproduce the scenario.
3/ Huawei CFO, Meng Wanzhou travelled frequently around the world on behalf of his father Ren Zhengfei. It looked retty easy to arrest her. She was thus designated as the target. US approached numerous countries for the dirty job. All countries declined except Canada.
4/ A crime must be invented for Meng Wanzhou. US, with its omnipresent spyware knew HSBC was involved in money laundering (all major international banks are involved in money laundering) as well as the fact that Huawei was a long term client of HSBC.
US warned HSBC that latter was subject to colossal fines & criminal prosecution unless HSBC provided material to incriminate Huawei.

5/ A dirty deal was thus struck. HSBC handed over an edited Huawei PPT & accused Meng Wanzhou of cheating HSBC on the link between Huawei and
Skycom, a one time subsidiary of Huawei, who was supplying HP gear communication equipment to Iran.

It was a widely publicized knowledge that Meng Wanzhou used to be the CEO of Skycom. If Skycom was violating the US sanction order, then by association,
Huawei was violating the sanction order. If HSBC is doing business with Huawei, then, by ignoring the relationship between Huawei and Skycom, HSBC is unknowingly being exposed to the risk of being sanctioned by the US.

So HSBC filed a complaint with the US court alleging
possible future damages. Such obvious gross fabrication of evidence to frame Huawei and the flimsy accusation would be an insult to the intelligenc integrity of any legal professional or government official. Nevertheless, Canada at the order of the US
went ahead and arrested Meng Wanzhou and put her under house arrest for 3 years.

Later, HSBC documents revealed that pretty much everyone inside HSBC knew the relationship between Huawei and Skycom. Accusing Meng Wanzhou of cheating and misleading is a lie.
Can we call the matter a blemish on the legal integrity and independence of Canada and the US or rather the matter revealed that US/Canada are banana states?

BTW, isn't it strange that supplying communication equipment to Iran is a heinous crime?

Do you think Jews would invite Nazi Germany to build their Grand Synagogue?

Algeria asked China, supposedly carrying out Muslim cleansing (#Uighurgenocide) to build world's 3rd Grand Mosque to last 500-1000 years which China successfully accomplished in 2020.
2/ Project Overview from China's CSCEC website:

On February 8, 2012, China Construction signed a contract with the Grand Mosque Construction and Management Authority of Algeria for the construction of the Grand Mosque project, with a main contract value of USD 1.5 billion.
3/The original design consortium is KSP-KUK from Germany and the current design institute is EGIS from France. The project adopts the cooperation mode of general contracting and implements European and Algerian standards.

China intends to put a stop to the US freedom of navigation based on environmental and safety concern.

Everyone knows the so-called freedom of navigation practiced by the US/West is military threat & provocation. If nuclear powered aircraft carriers of an enemy country dare to
cruise up and down the US coast, US would have considered it a declaration of war.
According to the Amendment to China's Maritime Traffic Safety Law which have gone into effect since Sept. 1st, five types of vessels must be declared prior to entering China's territorial waters:
submarines, nuclear-powered ships, ships carrying radioactive materials, ships carrying chemicals, toxic and hazardous materials, and other ships that are deemed to be dangerous. Failing which, China's maritime police could intervene.

After "let CIA hunt for Covid19 origin", now it's "let lawyers hunt for the origin".

So US courts can supposedly subpoena China, a sovereign country to produce evidence & if China refused, courts could enforce judgements. Pompeo has forgotten China could reciprocate.
US did this to Iran and confiscated the Iran assets in the US.

China is not Iran. Whatever US does to China, China can reciprocate.
Imagine Chinese courts subpoena Fort Detrick and Ralph Baric of University of North Carolina to produce evidence... Failing which Chinese courts render default judgements....

The simultaneous mirror legal proceedings must be very interesting to watch.

People may not know that though India is very hostile to China and has coined the label "debt trap" for China's BRI, China has been building essential infrastructure for India, notably six electricity power plants of high quality at a low price.
India is no longer giving China new contracts China is also questioning if it's worthwhile to give a hostile country quality power plants at such a friendly price.

China's accomplishments in India:

China's Shandong Electric Power Construction Third Engineering Company has built
six large power plants in five Indian states by EPC, with an installed capacity of more than 10,770 MW, accounting for 5.7% of the entire thermal power market share in India, making it the largest foreign EPC general contractor for power plants in India.

China's alleged totalitarian feature Social Credit is fake news. On the contrary, China is enacting private data protection laws. To bypass such law, DIDI, China's Uber planned to launch an IPO in the US after SEC's lightning approval within 2 weeks. China put a stop to the IPO.
If the US stock market can be endorsed by big Chinese companies, it's very good for the US economy and US$ supremacy. However, SEC now requires absolute transparency from Chinese companies and in particular all the audit trails. China is saying NO.
"So, what is an audit trail? Why should China be as tough on audit papers as it is on Chinese territory and not allow the slightest infringement? I'll sum it up in one sentence: An audit brief is the paper form of a company's existence. It includes all user data,
