We Don't Have to Trade With China

Meng Wanzhou is not sitting in a Chinese prison slowly starving to death. If she is innocent of the charges against her, she can get her wealthy and connected father to pay for the best lawyers to defend her:

Ultimately, Meng’s name must be struck from the indictment. Otherwise, even if Canada’s minister of justice orders her to be discharged, the United States can go after her again and again, whenever she happens to land in a country with which the Americans have an extradition treaty.

 

Your cringe-worthy legal opinion has been noted. 

 

 

Where is Jack Ma?:

Alibaba founder Jack Ma’s absence from public view in the past two months, including missing the final episode of a TV show on which he was to appear as a judge, has fuelled social media speculation over his whereabouts amid a Chinese regulatory clampdown on his sprawling business empire.

China’s highest-profile entrepreneur has not appeared in a public setting since a late October forum in Shanghai where he blasted China’s regulatory system in a speech that put him on a collision course with officials, resulting in the suspension of a US$37 billion IPO of Alibaba’s Ant Group fintech arm.
