Huawei may have broken the law with respect to violating U.S's sanctions on Iran. These are still unproven allegations as of yet.
Meanwhile, Société Générale, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, JP Morgan have provably done exactly that.
Yet there is only one C-suite level executive who is currently being held personally, criminally liable for corporate actions. I guarantee you won't be seeing Jamie Dimon threatened with prison time for JP Morgan's 87 violations of Iranian sanctions and Weapons of Mass Destruction sanctions, anytime soon.
Laws which are enforced selectively lack credibility.
- JumpCrisscross 7y agoVery simply, sanctions evasion is enforced differently from other domains. In any case, China is a terrible foil for the rule of law. Meng will get a fair trial in America. Nobody from anywhere would get the same in China.
- Bendingo 7y ago> Meng will get a fair trial in America. Your faith is US justice is admirable and patriotic. Do you believe Assange would also get a fair trial in USA ?
- Scoundreller 7y agoFairer than in China!
- JumpCrisscross 7y ago> Do you believe Assange would also get a fair trial in USA ? No. I don’t believe secret courts can be fair courts. Meng, however, is being charged through normal channels by a prosecutor who must make a case in the regular court system. The charges and decisions will be made in the open. (There is a decent chance, due to the difficulty of admitting large swaths of evidence, that she could win.)
