Couple of Canadian spies for the Princess of Huawei? Sure thing!
- liketochill 5y agoIs there any evidence they were spies? I read the one guy arranged Dennis Rodman’s trip to North Korea. They were said to be a former diplomat and a business man. How do any Canadians in the room feel about their business trips to China these days?
- mthoms 5y agoThere's no evidence they were spies. Unfortunately, most of the affordable flights to other parts of Asia connect through China these days. I'll be avoiding those connections now - even if it costs significantly more.
- mandeepj 5y agoAre n’t airports neutral zones?
- genocidicbunny 5y agoIs whether or not they're neutral ground something you wish to test with your freedom? If you have reason to avoid stepping foot in China, you have reason to avoid stepping foot in Chinese airports, even on international stopovers.
- throw_away 5y agoEven entering the airspace of a hostile country isn't safe. Two incidents off the top of my head: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Protasevich#Ryanair_Flight_4978 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Protasevich#Ryanair_Flig... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_Morales_grounding_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_Morales_grounding_incident

- mthoms 5y agoThere has been zero evidence presented that they were spies. The fact that they were detained within days of Meng's arrest and released within hours of her being set free should tell you all you need to know. The CCP has engaged in hostage taking because one of their elite members was arrested. At any rate, now that they are free - Canada can go ahead and ban Huawei 5G networks like the rest of the 5 eyes (save NZ I think?)
- deadlyllama 5y agoNZ hasn't banned Huawei 5G but the cell networks have chosen Samsung (Spark), Nokia (Vodafone), and Ericsson (2degrees).
