Huawei – one Meng for two Michaels

Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, daughter of the founder, was released in Canada after a three year tug of war over financial fraud charges.  She agreed she had made untrue statements that put HSBC at risk in violating U.S. sanctions on Iran, but was allowed to formally plead “not guilty”. In return China released two Canadians  – a former diplomat turned analyst and an entrepreneur who had been held in what was described as hostage diplomacy.  Meng Wanzhou, 13 Feb
