The sealed indictment for her arrest was 4 months ago on Aug 22, she has traveled through numerous countries including Canada in that time.
The arrest came only hours after US/China trade talks finished, it's also unusual in that it's an individual rather than the company being taken to court.
She's also the CFO of the world's 2nd biggest smartphone manufacturer that just overtook Apple. Decide for yourself.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoIf this is true, it really sheds light on this because it would indicate the arrest was political. Given the situation, I actually doubt it. I don't think this is Trump et. al. throwing a curve ball, I think this is the Feds just doing their job with bad timing.
- RidingPegasus 8y agoAt the same moment the President is sitting down with Xi discussing trade government agents are making moves to arrest an incredibly high profile Chinese figure and everyone seems to think it's a coincidence? China has an extensive history of politically motivated trials when there is foreign relation disputes between countries. They barely hide it. What's interesting here is the US doing the same thing back to them.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoI don't believe the US is doing it, essentially I'm doubting the specific facts you presented i.e. a warrant since Aug but no arrest until now, for political reasons. One of the reasons I doubt this is because Trump does not control or direct these orgs - they are not highly politicized. And also ... why would the US create some kind of warrant/indictment to not have her grabbed? Maybe you are right, but I actually don't think any of it makes sense. Trump gains nothing by having someone nabbed like that. Chinese nabbing of Canadians I do however think is political.
