Some People Are "Special": the Chinese Communist Edition

Kidnapping does work!:

Meng Wanzhou, Huawei Technologies’ chief financial officer, has been freed after a B.C. Supreme Court agreed to a discharge order, withdrawing the U.S. extradition request against her.

The judge’s decision to free Meng comes just hours after the Huawei executive secured a deal to resolve the charges against her in a U.S. court earlier Friday.

 

Only after this nauseating little twerp walk did China - which swore up and down that it didn't kidnap Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor - release its hostages.

Thanks, America!:

Joe Biden cut a deal with China to free their criminal spyware billionaire, Meng Wanzhou.

Trudeau had Biden on the phone just two days ago -- but the White House readout shows Trudeau didn't even bring up the two Canadians being held hostage in China. https://t.co/duh2b4sdDi https://t.co/Ah8p46Snye

According to Toronto-based criminal lawyer Ari Goldkind, the extradition case against Meng seemed solid.

“She admitted the entirety of the United States’s case [in the DPA], she admitted her guilt, and signed an agreement to that effect,” Goldkind told The Epoch Times.

“The extradition therefore in Canada was airtight, properly brought in pursuant to the rule of law, which is why what happened [on Sept. 24] is such a disgrace in so many ways.”

 

After this public spectacle, China reminded Justin who he really works for:

The release of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou shows China’s strength and Canada should “draw lessons,” China’s foreign ministry said on Monday, after state media called it an opportunity for a reboot of bilateral relations. ...

“Canada should draw lessons and act according to its own interests,” she added.

 

Let's start arresting Chinese nationals then.

Nothing personal, China. 

 

This China:

Woo shared a Toronto Star column by a retired professor making the claim that Canada and the United States “took Meng hostage.”

“The United States, assisted by Canada, took Meng hostage in the first place as part of its trade-and-technology war with China; Beijing swiftly retaliated by jailing the Canadian citizens Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor,” the column said. 

By sharing it, Alexander said Woo was serving as a “mouthpiece for foreign propaganda.”

After digging through unexpectedly high Liberal vote counts in Vancouver and Toronto, former Conservative organizer Karamveer Lalh  concluded in a tweet thread that up to a dozen seats in heavily Chinese-Canadian areas may have been lost to the Conservatives due to Chinese-language efforts by pro-Beijing groups. Lalh added that Canadian media and pollsters often fail to grasp the electoral forces that play out within minority communities, citing his own experience seeing rampant Punjabi-language election misinformation being spread on platforms such as WeChat and Facebook.

 

And the Liberals know how to repay their Chinese communist friends:

The Liberal government is refusing to offer support for Taiwan to join a Trans-Pacific trade agreement, recent reports reveal. 

According to the Globe and Mail, both China and Taiwan have simultaneously applied to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). The Trudeau government has decided to not support neither countries’ efforts.

“All decisions are made by consensus, and any country that joins CPTPP must meet and comply with the high standard rules and ambitious market access commitments of the CPTPP,” Global Affairs spokesperson Lama Khodr told the outlet.
