meng was at least a Canadian pr, one cant have it both ways, have to accept both pros and cons, benefits and risks.

Canada is a staunchly American ally, meng should have known the risk, actually many already disclosed meng was in various trouble before, china FM admitted, a few nations already were pressured by US to detain meng. only canada agreed.

my view, if meng was just a visiotr visa entering canada,this was a typical long arm over reach of american ; if pr, sorry, not much sympathy there.

one thing good about meng case is a sharp reminder of all those chinese vips getting foreign IDs, be care of what you wish for, having it both ways? or avoiding choosing sides? more and more unlikely, it's either qian xuesen or miles yu. like bush jr said famously: either with or agianst us.

exceptions? kaifu "carefully" lee is a curious example, my suspicion his "R and D" is just a joke, so american tolerates
