川普扇到中国耳光了？扇哪里了？川普这一年反而是搞的美道德破产经济破产，貿易财政赤字又创新高。
他说你是贼，你就是贼。美国起家不是也是从他们母国偷技术吗？高盛黑金，美高科技企业銀行被歐洲重罚，你没看见吗？中国流氓，美国一样流氓，没好到哪里去。都是政商。
川普放弃西方联盟，搞美俄中联合。美國精英会让他搞吗？这次华为事件，西方盟友有联手的跡象了，你让中国去惩罚加拿大，再去惩罚美国，再去惩罚英国。牛逼，再去惩罚全世界。

加拿大总理杜鲁多12月6日表示，自己事前对加拿大皇家骑警逮捕华为副总裁任正非的女儿，华为副总裁孟晚舟一事知情。但杜鲁多总理否认逮捕行为与政治问题有关。

在接受记者采访时，杜鲁多表示：“适当的部门作出了这一决定，我们在逮捕发生几天前就得到了相关部门的通知。我们相信我们独立的司法系统，这些事情与政治并无牵连。”

中国方面对孟晚舟被捕一事发出了强烈抗议，加拿大总理表示，他没有与中国方面开展任何对话，也没有与世界其他国家的领导人就此事进行过任何会晤。

按照时间推算，杜鲁多在阿根廷参加G20峰会时，就已经对这起逮捕知情。在G20峰会当中，中国与美国达成了短暂的贸易战停火。

在美国方面，美国国家安全顾问博尔顿在星期四向NPR表示，他在逮捕一事前也知道这一情况。美国方面请求加拿大对孟晚舟逮捕并拘留。

加拿大网络安全部门总监Scott Jones表示，他的部门已经做好了防御准备，应对来自中国的潜在报复性网络攻击。不过Jones并没有对孟晚舟被逮捕一事做出任何回应。他只对媒体表示，加拿大网络安全系统已经做好了准备，将保护加拿大的通讯基础设施抵御可能来自中国的攻击。

“我们将会一直对可能引发危险的因素保持警惕。作为一个国家，我们将会抵御任何针对加拿大的恶意行动。我们也将与边境安全部门保持紧密合作。”

中国外交部发言人耿爽早前表示，在没有任何解释原因的情况下对人实施拘禁违反人权。中国驻加拿大大使馆表示孟晚舟没有违反任何加拿大或者美国法律，并要求加拿大方面释放孟晚舟。

根据华尔街日报的报道，美国的检控官早在四月份开始，便在调查华为公司违反美国制裁伊朗的禁令一案。华为方面在向环球邮报提供的一份声明中确认，孟晚舟目前面临美国纽约东区检控官的控诉，她在加拿大转机时被当局逮捕。

一名加拿大司法部官员透露，孟晚舟星期五将会在温哥华出庭。由于司法部收到了出版禁令的限制，司法部无法在目前提供任何其他的信息。而这一禁令是由孟晚舟方面申请得成的。

环球邮报称，加拿大当局逮捕孟晚舟决定可能会影响加拿大与中国的关系。在中美贸易战中，中国与美国都在寻求自己的贸易伙伴“站队”，虽然加拿大已经与美国墨西哥签订了新的北美三国贸易，不过杜鲁多政府还在同时积极寻求与北京达成一定的贸易协定。

前任加拿大大使David Mulroney预测，孟晚舟事件将会使得华为在西方国家的生意受到冲击，也将使得中国方面有所反应。“孟晚舟因违反伊朗制裁禁令被逮捕说明，加拿大将愿意直面中国，并做出正确的选择。当然，在中国国内，他们会将加拿大描绘成在想美国叩头。这样的逮捕事件将对华为做出致命的威胁，这家公司一直试图在剩余的西方国家面前将自己描绘成一家可靠的基础建设伙伴。”

加拿大早前便面临来自美国的压力，美国方面要求加拿大禁止华为参与5G网络建设。目前，美国与澳大利亚都已经禁止华为参与5G建设，而在上个星期，新西兰也否认了本国无线运营商对安装华为器材的请求。美国、加拿大、英国、澳大利亚、新西兰五国曾经建立了名为“Five Eyes”的情报共享系统。

在星期四，英国主要电讯公司BT Group PLC宣布将移除自己旗下的网络当中，也不会购买华为的5G技术。早前，英国情报部门军情六处曾经针对华为技术发出警告。

早前，加拿大方面曾经反对阻断华为，并认为本国的安全设施足够减小潜在的风险。Jones曾经表示，加拿大方面的安全系统，要比一些盟友国家系统更加稳定。目前，Jones表示，在盟国针对此问题发出警告后，加拿大方面正在重新审视这一问题。

Jones认为，加拿大与其他四国有所不同，他们将结合加拿大本国的实际条件，做出对加拿大人最好的决定。Jones表示，加拿大是一个“大国”（large country）而加拿大政府与电讯供应商的有着独特的关系。Jones提到了加拿大农村地区居住的诸多居民，而这一点也是加拿大方面需要考量的重要因素。

在星期三，美国共和党参议员卢比奥称赞了加拿大方面做出的逮捕决定，并呼吁加拿大总理杜鲁多尽快禁止华为的5G技术。卢比奥称：“华为与中国政府和中国共产党有直接联系。而华为也是美国国家安全的严重威胁，我将继续强烈要求加拿大重新思考关于使用华为建设及维护5G网络的决定。”

在今年十月份，卢比奥与民主党参议员Mark Warner就以写信给杜鲁多，警告称如果加拿大没能阻止华为，将可能会影响美加之间的情报分享以及跨境通讯合作。

民主党参议员Chris Van Hollen表示，华为中兴等公司对西方国家的国家安全构成威胁，并要求美国政府制定详细全面的方案让中国与他们资助的实体为此负责。

VANCOUVER—Whether or not Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou is a flight risk will likely make up the bulk of the arguments presented at a bail hearing scheduled at B.C. Supreme Court Friday morning, according to a Vancouver immigration lawyer.

Lawyer Richard Kurland said it’ll be up to Meng and her legal team to prove she is not likely to flee Canada if she is released from custody. Meng is being sought by the U.S. Attorney’s Eastern District of New York office to face unspecified charges after being detained while transferring planes in Vancouver on Dec. 1.

Kurland said the review of whether or not Meng should remain behind bars while awaiting a later hearing to determine her extradition will likely take weeks. The extradition hearings themselves could take years depending on whether there are appeals, he said.

“You’ll have a burden to demonstrate you’re not a flight risk and that you’re going to comply with the process. The way it’s typically done is the person engages, at their own expense, 24-hour security, private guards that monitor them independently,” Kurland said.

“Second, you’ll also put together electronic monitoring and you need a place (to stay). So you have to have a residence where all of this is possible.”

Nelson Cunningham, a former U.S. federal prosecutor and special adviser to the Clinton administration, said he anticipated Meng will remain behind bars pending the outcome of her extradition.

Huawei arrest fuels anxiety over the security of Canada’s 5G dealings

Trudeau says he had nothing to do with the arrest of Chinese executive in Vancouver

“In the systems I know, someone like this would be highly likely to be in custody while their matter is being adjudicated. They’re such a flight risk, and because we know that if she leaves Canada, she’ll go to China and she’ll be beyond the reach of process,” Cunningham said.

“I would be shocked if she were released on bail.”

Meng is listed as the deputy chairwoman and chief financial officer of Huawei and is the daughter of Zhengfei Ren, the founder of the company. China’s embassy in Ottawa opposed the detention and called for Meng’s “personal freedom” to be restored.

The Canadian Extradition Act requires that a person must be facing charges for an offence considered criminal in both Canada and the country seeking extradition. It’s anticipated that the offence Meng is accused of could be revealed during the bail hearing. However, the Globe and Mail has reported that Meng is facing allegations she violated U.S. trade sanctions against Iran.

Cunningham suspected Meng’s arrest could be seen as a warning against those who defy U.S. sanctions, which cover Iran’s shipping, financial and energy sectors.

“Within the Trump administration, there are powerful cross-currents here,” he said. “Because they very much want to punish Iran by limiting trade with Iran, and by punishing companies that violate those sanctions.”

But the move could also have repercussions with Canadian-Chinese relations.

“I could imagine the Chinese government could be putting a great deal of pressure on the Canadian government,” Cunningham said.

“There’s a big disagreement right now between the U.S. and its closest allies, I believe Canada being one of them, over how to interpret what sanctions ought to be enforced against Iran and what sanctions should not.”

Kurland, meanwhile, wonders whether Canadian business interests in China may be the target of any retaliation by the Chinese.

“Is it riskier (now) for Canadian business people to visit China? What if China decides to retaliate with the nab and grab of a senior Canadian business person in China? Now what?” Kurland said.

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou wanted in U.S. for fraud, bail hearing told

Meng Wanzhou — the chief financial officer and deputy chair of the board for the Chinese tech giant Huawei — is wanted in the U.S. on allegations of fraud, a bail hearing has been told.

U.S. counsel said Friday that Wanzhou, 46, is accused of using an unofficial subsidiary called Skycom to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran from 2009 to 2014.

It's also alleged she made public misrepresentations about Skycom, saying it was separate from Huawei, when the U.S. contends they were the same company doing business with Iran.

American officials are seeking her extradition so she can be prosecuted in the U.S.

The allegations were detailed at Meng's bail hearing in B.C. Supreme Court on Friday morning. She appeared without handcuffs and dressed in a dark green sweatsuit.

• CFO of Chinese tech giant Huawei arrested in Vancouver, sought by U.S. for extradition

• Trudeau says he had advance notice of Huawei executive's arrest

Meng was arrested in Vancouver on Saturday.

Previously, a publication ban prevented the U.S. Department of Justice from releasing further details about the arrest. Several media outlets, including CBC News, challenged the ban. It was lifted as the first matter of business at Friday's hearing.

Meng Wanzhou is the deputy chairwoman and CFO for the Chinese tech giant Huawei. According to reports she is wanted by the United States for allegedly contravening U.S. trade sanctions against Iran. (fensifuwu.com)
Huawei, an increasingly dominant player in the network equipment market, is under scrutiny from the U.S. and other governments over suspected ties to the Chinese government and possible links to spying.

Meng is also the daughter of Huawei's founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei.

• Arrest of China telecom CFO in Canada sends markets tumbling

The company says Beijing has no influence over its operations.

News of Meng's arrest pummelled stock markets in anticipation that the move would derail planned trade talks between China and the U.S., the world's two largest economies.

“The Vancouver houses, one on Matthews Ave. in Shaughnessy, the other on West 28th Avenue in Dunbar, are registered to Xiaozong Liu — according to B.C. Land Title registry records — the same name as Meng’s husband, who is identified in Chinese media.

Property documents list Liu as owner of the home on 28th Avenue in Vancouver since 2009, when the home was purchased for $2.7 million. Records also show that Liu has owned the Matthews Avenue property since 2016, when it was purchased for $15 million”
