The arrest of Michael Spavor was in retaliation from the US detaining Meng Wanzhou over similarly flimsly charges. It's not something that was done at random or as a show of force. If a chinese national came to the US with a gun accidentally I wouldn't advise them to trash it in the bathroom because Meng Wanzhou was detained once.
>How could they possibly link it to a passanger?
The serial number. Unless the state senator is holding an unregistered gun I can't imagine it would be difficult to link it to him. And if is traveling with an unregistered gun, then he's already knowingly breaking the law; and he might as well break more laws.
- refurb 3y agoMichael Spavor was arrest in retaliation for the arrest of the Huawei executive in Canada. And was promptly released when the Huawei executive was released. This state senator actually committed a crime. A very serious crime in China. One that people spend significant lengths in prison for. What stops China from putting them in prison then using them as a pawn for US-China relations (which are particularly hot right now)? The answer is nothing. > The serial number. Unless the state senator is holding an unregistered gun Guns aren't registered in the US. Serial numbers are recorded at sale, but there is no database. And China certainly won't have access to serial numbers should they find it. You think the US will give that information to a country that is holding a member of the government in prison?
