#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.

... It's about China's high tech instead of just Huawei.

"Rule of law" serves as a tool to achieve political purpose.

China sees it as nothing more than nakedly politics. It played accordingly.

Finally, politics prevailed. 4)
