She's subject to US law, and the consequences thereof.

It's a question of law, not morality. The rule of law is applied pretty fairly in the US and backstopped by the democratic process, whereas it's applied arbitrarily by Chinese dictatorial leadership when it suits them. That's where the moral ground lies.
What you're talking about is a false equivalence.
- woooooo 3y agoWhy is she subject to US export law? Chinese citizen on Canadian soil who was not personally exporting anything at that moment. Do you consider yourself subject to Chinese export law? I know, empire, we can do what we want, but like I said. Shaky moral ground.
- richbell 3y ago> Why is she subject to US export law? Chinese citizen on Canadian soil who was not personally exporting anything at that moment. Because she is accountable as a C-suite executive of Huawei, and she was traveling in a country that is closely allied with the United States. It's funny that you're making this argument when the point of TFA is that China punishes and detains people for merely being associated with a company or group they don't like.
