外交部发言人耿爽就美国司法部针对华为等指控答记者问

来源：外交部网站 2019-01-29

　　问：北京时间1月29日凌晨，美国司法部宣布了对华为公司、有关子公司及其副董事长、首席财务官孟晚舟的指控，并声称即将向加拿大提出对孟晚舟女士的引渡请求。请问中方对此有何评论？

　　答：中方高度关切美国司法部对华为公司及其副董事长、首席财务官孟晚舟等提出起诉。中国政府一贯要求中国企业在依法合规的基础上开展对外经济合作，同时要求各国为中国企业的正常运营提供公平、公正、非歧视的环境。

　　一段时间以来，美方动用国家力量抹黑和打击特定的中国企业，企图扼杀企业的正当合法经营，背后有很强的政治企图和政治操弄。我们强烈敦促美方停止对包括华为在内中国企业的无理打压，客观公正地对待中国企业。中方也将坚决捍卫中国企业的合法、正当权益。

　　关于孟晚舟案，中方已经多次表明严正立场。美加两国滥用他们之间的双边引渡条约，对中国公民无理采取强制措施，是对中国公民合法权益的严重侵犯。我们再次敦促美方立即撤销对孟晚舟女士的逮捕令，不要发出正式引渡请求，避免在错误的道路上越走越远。中方同时敦促加方认真对待中方严正立场，立即释放孟晚舟女士并切实保障她的合法、正当权益，不要为美火中取栗。

So the government has decided to throw Ambassador John McCallum under the bus. He should be happy to be released from this leg trap. Thank you for your service, John. Really. I served in various senior federal positions in China and Hong Kong since the early 1970s and feel obliged to deliver some self-criticism, as the Red Guards used to say during the Cultural Revolution.

Under the administration of the first Prime Minister Trudeau, Canada decided to recognize the People’s Republic of China in 1970 to draw the country into the community of nations, as well as to demonstrate Canada’s independence from the United States.

At the time, China was a very poor and ideologically conflicted Maoist country. Canada and other Western countries supported Deng Xiaoping’s (and Zhou Enlai’s) openness and economic reform agenda.

There was real progress in China’s evolution during the 1980s from a rogue, revolutionary regime facing Soviet invasion to a far more developed and – in some important ways – liberal and market-driven society.

But there were warning signs from the very beginning about China’s unique approach to international economic relations, but not enough to blunt the momentum of Canada’s opening.

I failed to highlight these risks, as have almost all other so-called China experts working.

It all started for me at an unprecedented Canadian Trade Exhibition in Shanghai during the Cultural Revolution in the early 1970s. Officials found Chinese experts disassembling the exhibits and photographing them after midnight. Canada complained mildly.

Our Canadian organizers understood then that the moderate faction had bought off the local Maoists in Shanghai with the argument that reverse engineering the products and systems of the outside world while closing subsidized strategic industries to Western involvement would eventually make China great again. Making a fuss would create lack of confidence in the Canadian business community.

Under-weighting China’s history, Canada trusted China would indeed abandon its totalitarian politics for enlightened democracy and recognize that its deeply self-reliant economic development strategy was a dead end.

We now know that China has been hijacking technology from Canadian and Western companies in more and ever-increasing sophisticated ways since the 1970s. Some believe the collapse of Nortel and RIM can be partly attributed to Chinese intellectual poaching.

The Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 shocked Canadians and created the first real crisis in Canada-China relations, including a lengthy diplomatic boycott of China.

Unfortunately, as Canada rebuilt its China policy, trade became all important, with politically popular Team Canada pageants uncritically encouraging private-sector linkages with Chinese entities more interested in technological transfer than importing goods.

Since then, despite many worthy efforts, Canada has run bigger and bigger trade deficits with China with modest export and investment growth in comparison with our competitors. Our China political debate has deteriorated into scoreboards of trade agreements signed, not results achieved.

Over the decades, China has fine-tuned its core Autarkic model of national economic development into a sophisticated engine of licit and illicit scientific and technology acquisition, under a veneer of middle-class consumerism and modernity.

Meanwhile, Canada has kept a very low profile on the need for tighter, unified Western ground rules on strategic intellectual-property exports to China. We have enjoyed a free ride on American efforts to influence China on its growing predatory intellectual property, exchange rate and trade agreement actions.

So don’t blame John McCallum. Making a couple of Chinese diplomats persona non grata, joining forces with the United States on its new China policy and banning Huawei now would have been smarter.

Our current China crisis is systemic as well as accidental. Canada’s vulnerabilities to Chinese and American pressures are deeply embedded and largely self-created. Over the long term, strengthened self-reliant economic development policies (à la Pierre Trudeau’s Third Option) and serious security policies should underpin a new Canadian China narrative, as globalist visions dissolve in the acid of the new geopolitics.

我跟这位外交官的意见大部分相同。

北电和黑莓的破产是和华为的非法侵略手段有很强的关系的。加拿大社会在这个问题上认识不清。

但是在麦家廉的问题上， 麦家廉在北京政府流氓报复的情况下， 两次发出亲共的言论而闭口不言土共的流氓手段， 这才是他失职的原因，他的辞职是完全自己主动造成的。

Huawei's Meng Wanzhou appears in Vancouver court for bail adjustment hearing

• 
  12:16 PM - Jan 29, 2019
  Tuesday's appearance comes a day after a dramatic announcement by U.S. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker of 13 criminal charges against Meng, Huawei, and its affiliates in the U.S. and Hong Kong.
  
  The charges date back to 2009 on allegations concerning the relationship between Huawei and a company called Skycom that did business in Iran.
  
  U.S. prosecutors claim Skycom was a hidden subsidiary of Huawei and accuse Meng, 46, of misrepresenting the relationship in order to induce U.S. banks to move money in violation of sanctions against Iran.
  
  Canada's justice minister has until March 1 to respond to the extradition request.
  
  In the wake of Meng's arrest, Canada and China appear to have engaged in a growing diplomatic feud that has seen China arrest two Canadians and sentence a third to death for his role in an alleged drug conspiracy.
  • U.S. files formal extradition request for Meng Wanzhou
  Meng and her husband own two homes in Vancouver, but she was arrested at the international airport in the B.C. city while in transit to Mexico and South America. Prosecutors claim she and other Huawei executives have been avoiding the U.S. since learning of an investigation into their activities.
  
  In proceedings that drew an overflow crowd of international observers, a B.C. Supreme Court judge granted Meng bail in spite of arguments from prosecutors that she would be a flight risk.

• 
  
• Meng is living under 24-hour supervision for which she has to pick up the tab. Five friends with permanent ties to Canada also stepped forward to act as guarantors.
  
  The terms of Meng's bail limit her movements to the Lower Mainland.
  
  Her next scheduled court appearance has been moved to March 6.

Canada Has 1 Month To Authorize Extradition Hearings For Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou
If Canada authorizes a hearing, Meng would next appear in court March 6.
Laura Kane Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — The clock is ticking for Canada to decide whether to proceed with a high-profile extradition case involving a senior executive of Huawei Technologies, which has touched off furor in diplomatic relations with China.

A British Columbia court heard Tuesday that the United States has issued a formal extradition request for Meng Wanzhou, the company's chief financial officer and daughter of its founder. Meng was arrested Dec. 1 at Vancouver's airport on a request from U.S. authorities.

Canada's Department of Justice now has until March 1 to determine whether to issue an authority to proceed, which authorizes an extradition hearing. If Canada issues that authority, Meng would next appear in court March 6 and hearing dates would be set.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice William Ehrcke said proceedings could still take some time.

"I have no idea whether we're looking at months or years," he said. "At this point, that's completely unknown. It will become clearer as time progresses."

Paul Chiasson/CP
Justice Minister David Lametti in Sherbrooke, Que. on Jan. 17, 2019.

Canada has a treaty with the U.S. that obligates it to co-operate with extradition requests. The treaty requires that the conduct for which extradition is sought be considered criminal in both countries.

If an extradition hearing is held and a judge commits Meng for extradition, Justice Minister David Lametti would ultimately determine whether she would be extradited to face charges of bank fraud, wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit both.

Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, Lametti acknowledged legal procedures can be complex.

"By the time all the individual's rights are exhausted they can take a long time," he added.

"I only will have to make a decision at the end of the process, if and only if there is an actual extradition order. I would have the final say in executing that order, yes."

U.S. has made extradition request
The indictment, based on 23 grand jury allegations, accuses Huawei and Meng of misrepresenting their ownership of a Hong Kong-based subsidiary between 2007 and 2017 in an effort to circumvent U.S. sanctions against Iran.The U.S. Department of Justice laid out its case Monday against Meng and Huawei. Both Meng and the company have denied any wrongdoing.

The company's U.S. branch is also accused of stealing trade secrets and equipment from cellphone provider T-Mobile USA.

Meng, 46, has been free on bail since Dec. 11, living in one of her two multimillion dollar homes in Vancouver while wearing an electronic tracking device and being monitored by a security company.

Meng and her husband provided $7.5 million in cash for the $10-million bail and the rest was covered by four sureties, including three people who put up their homes as a deposit and a fourth who brought a $50,000 certified cheque to the court.

On Tuesday, Ehrcke agreed to replace the woman who brought the cheque with a couple who have agreed to put up their home and some money as a surety.

The court also heard that Meng has beefed up her defence team. In addition to criminal defence lawyer David Martin, she will also be represented by several other attorneys including Vancouver-based Richard Peck and associates from his firm.

Peck is known for acting as an independent prosecutor for Ontario in the dangerous driving and negligence case against former attorney general Michael Bryant in the death of a cyclist, in which Crown prosecutors ultimately withdrew the charges. He later worked as a special prosecutor for B.C. in the death of Robert Dziekanski, a Polish immigrant who died after police stunned him with a Taser in Vancouver's airport.

Also joining the team is Toronto-based criminal defence lawyer Scott Fenton. He represented David Del Mastro, who was acquitted of running a scheme to funnel money to the political campaign of his cousin, former Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro.

Meng did not comment as she rushed from court Tuesday to a black SUV waiting for her in a parkade.

China's foreign ministry said in a statement Tuesday that the U.S. is using its national power to "tarnish the image of and crack down on specific Chinese companies in an attempt to strangle their lawful and legitimate operations."

"We once again urge the U.S. side to immediately drop its arrest warrant and formal extradition request for Ms. Meng Wanzhou," it said.

"We also urge the Canadian side to take China's solemn position seriously, immediately release Ms. Meng Wanzhou and ensure her lawful and legitimate rights and interests, and stop pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for the U.S."

Members of the U.S. Senate intelligence committee were briefed Tuesday about global counterintelligence perils. The Huawei case was mentioned only indirectly, but intelligence officials described China's "ongoing quest" for global superiority.

"China's pursuit of intellectual property, sensitive research and development plans and U.S. personal data remains a significant threat to the U.S. government and the private sector," said Dan Coats, the U.S. director of national intelligence.
