有！这位老兄认为让孟逃离加拿大可能是最无害的结局。哈！哈！哈!
A wiser government would have warned Meng Wanzhou to stay away
Michael Byers
Michael Byers holds the Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia.
"... ...,
Now that the courts are involved, the moment for political decision-making has past. Years of appeals and worsening China-Canada relations could lie ahead.
Yet with Ms. Meng free on bail, she may well skip the country. The idea that some security guards and a GPS anklet could prevent this from happening is naive at worst and hopeful at best. The Chinese government has hundreds of officials and agents in Vancouver, and dozens of airplanes and cargo ships depart for China each day.
Losing Ms. Meng might be the least-worst outcome. Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valour".

大哥，别提中国的GDP了，中国这样的门面工夫国家，就知道提什么GDP在世界的前茅，却把于GDP七点五倍的负债藏起来不说。

Former U.S. ambassador to China Gary Locke said today that U.S. President Donald Trump undermined Canada over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou when he said that he would intervene in the case if it could help secure a trade deal with China.
In an interview with CBC News Network's Power & Politics, Locke said the extradition process has always been viewed as independent and separate from politics. But Trump's offer in a Reuters interview to insert himself into the case — "if I think it's good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made" — may have made Canada's actions appear to the Chinese as an attempt at securing leverage.
"And so if the president is intervening, then the Chinese will say, 'OK Canada, why don't you intervene? Why don't you just simply refuse to extradite this person to the United States?" he said.
Canadian officials have maintained that the Dec. 1 arrest of Meng happened without political interference and that the process is unfolding in accordance with the rule of law and international treaties.
The U.S. is seeking Meng's extradition on charges related to the alleged violation of U.S. sanctions on Iran.
At a press conference last Friday alongside U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland delivered what could be interpreted as a veiled rebuke of Trump's remarks.
"Canada understands that the rule of law and extradition issues ought not to ever be politicized or used as tools to resolve other issues," said Freeland. "That is the very clear position which Canada expresses to all of its partners."
Further escalation?
Following Meng's arrest, China detained two Canadians on Dec. 10 on suspicion of "endangering national security."
Locke said he sees the two events as linked and describes China's detention of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor as typical of Beijing's tactics when it wants to send a warning to a foreign government.
Locke's remarks echo the assessment of former Canadian ambassador to China Guy Saint-Jacques, who told Power & Politics last week that "in China, there's no coincidence."
In terms of escalation, though, Locke said he doesn't think there's more to come on the Chinese side — at least in the short term.
"I think there will be a pause until they see what happens in that extradition hearing. Will Canada extradite the CFO to the United States?" said Locke.
"It really puts Canada in a difficult predicament because law enforcement between the United States and Canada (has) long had a history of good cooperation — apolitical, nonpolitical. But of course, the charges against the CFO of Huawei right now come at a very difficult political moment during these very tense and delicate trade talks and trade friction between the United States and China."
Huawei security concerns
Meng's arrest has also led to renewed scrutiny of the Chinese telecom giant Huawei, the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world and the second-largest manufacturer of smartphones, after Samsung.
U.S. lawmakers and intelligence officials have long warned of national security concerns stemming from Huawei's murky connections to the Chinese government.
Locke said those security concerns revolve around the company's equipment and the role it plays in telecommunications infrastructure.
"The fear is that somehow Huawei, with its close ties to the Chinese government, will have the capability of putting some sort of devices or spying on or collecting information from the people of the countries in which their equipment is installed," he said.
"Or that they can somehow use that equipment to disrupt the normal flow of telecommunications, if the Chinese government were to direct them to do so."
Several countries have moved to bar Huawei equipment from their 5G network infrastructures, including the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.
Canada is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the 5G technology movement, but has not yet announced a ban on Huawei technology.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is rejecting a suggestion by one of his MPs that the arrest in Vancouver of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou was politically motivated — and Canada should not extradite her to the U.S.
NDP MP Don Davies, who represents the B.C riding of Vancouver Kingsway, published on his personal website Tuesday a post arguing it's "very clear" that the U.S. requested Meng's arrest for political reasons and that Canada should not be "manipulated by Donald Trump."
The post has since been taken down.
The same day, he called a news conference to repeat his argument — a move that put his offside with his party's position on the case.
"We now have strong evidence that this is a political issue, disguised as a legal one," Davies said Tuesday. "We know that our own prime minister was notified of her arrest, which is a highly unusual political step, not taken in the ordinary course of a typical extradition case.
"More troubling, we have confirmation from the head of state from the country seeking extradition that he's prepared to use an individual as a bargaining chip in a larger geopolitical trade dispute involving a third country."
After Meng's arrest, U.S. President Donald Trump openly mused about intervening in the case if it would help his country's security or its trading relationship with China.
In an interview on CBC News Network's Power & Politics Today, Singh rejected Davies' argument, saying his party supports following the rule of law.
"No, we've made our position clear in terms of following the rule of law, and any time we're in these circumstances we should follow the right practices when it comes to following through on all procedures and due process," Singh told host Vassy Kapelos.
"He's, I think, expressing frustrations around Mr. Trump, but I've given you our official position."
Canada has faced a wave of criticism from Chinese officials and state media since Meng, a top executive with China-based telecom giant Huawei, was arrested in Vancouver earlier this month. Meng was arrested at the request of U.S. officials — who accuse her of violating trade sanctions on Iran — and released on bail pending extradition proceedings.
Not long after Meng's arrest, Chinese officials confirmed that two Canadian men had been detained in China on national security concerns.
One of the two men, Michael Kovrig, served as a diplomat with GAC but was on leave to work with the International Crisis Group, a non-governmental organization, at the time of his arrest in China. The other, Michael Spavor, is a businessman who arranges tours of North Korea.
More recently, Alberta teacher Sarah McIver was sentenced to what Chinese authorities call "administrative punishment" for working illegally in the country.
