US Will Seek Extradition of Huawei CFO From Canada (reuters.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: The U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday it will pursue the extradition of the chief financial officer of China's Huawei, arrested in Canada in December. The United States has accused Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou of misrepresenting the company's links to a firm that tried to sell equipment to Iran despite U.S. sanctions. The arrest soured relations between Canada and China, with China subsequently detaining two Canadian citizens and sentencing a third to death. The United States must file a formal request for extradition by Jan. 30. Once a formal request is received, a Canadian court has 30 days to determine whether there is enough evidence to support extradition and the Canadian minister of justice must issue a formal order. Canada has not asked the United States to abandon its bid to have Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou extradited, Canada's Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. "We will continue to pursue the extradition of defendant Ms. Meng Wanzhou, and will meet all deadlines set by the U.S./Canada Extradition Treaty," Justice Department spokesman Marc Raimondi said in a statement. "We greatly appreciate Canada's continuing support of our mutual efforts to enforce the rule of law."
Slashdot reader AmiMoJo shares a separate report from the BBC: The chairman of Chinese tech giant Huawei has warned his company could shift away from the U.S. and the U.K. if it continues to face restrictions. Huawei has been under scrutiny by Western governments, which fear its products could be used for spying. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, Mr Liang Hua said his firm might transfer technology to countries "where we are welcomed." Huawei makes smartphones but is also a world leader in telecoms infrastructure, in particular the next generation of mobile phone networks, known as 5G.

What rule of law? Trumps already said he might use her as a pawn in his stupider than fuck trade war against China....that's not the rule of law, that's outright authoritarian bullshit. He may very well have given Canada every reason to not extradite her right there. You can be stupider than fuck and ignore what he said, but other people in the world are not as fucking clueless as his followers..... he fucked up because he's a fucking narcissistic idiot who doesn't know a fucking thing about the "rule of law," and he doesn't care.

Soon there will be an extradition hearing. The judge will refuse extradition to the U.S. on the base that Trump's comment about using Ms. Meng Wanzhou as a bargaining chip infers the possibility of interference with the judicial process in the United States, therefore denying her the right to a fair trial.
That's what her lawyers will plead, and the judge will agree with them. Extradition will be denied, and Ms. Meng Wanzhou will go free.
Maybe next time the orange dipship will learn to keep his Putin-cock-sucking mouth shut. But I doubt it.
