Meng Wanzhou returns to China after being released by B.C. court amid U.S. deal
September 25, 2021
Meng Wanzhou, Huawei Technologies’ chief financial officer, has been freed after a B.C. Supreme Court agreed to a discharge order, withdrawing the U.S. extradition request against her.
The judge’s decision to free Meng comes just hours after the Huawei executive secured a deal to resolve the charges against her in a U.S. court earlier Friday.
In a statement, Canada’s Department of Justice said that there was “no basis” for proceedings to continue after the U.S. extradition request was dropped.
“The judge released Meng Wanzhou from all of her bail conditions. Meng Wanzhou is free to leave Canada,” read the statement.
Shortly after emerging from court, the Huawei executive also read a statement thanking the judge, crown lawyers and Canadian people.
“Sorry for the inconvenience,” said Meng.
“Over the past three years my life has been turned upside down. It was a disruptive time for me as a mother, a wife and a company executive. But I believe every cloud has silver lining. It really was an invaluable experience in my life.”
Meng later left on an Air China flight bound for Shenzhen, China — the location of Huawei’s headquarters.
Speaking Friday evening shortly after Meng’s departure, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that both Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were on their way back to Canada after spending over 1,000 days in detention in China.
“These two men have gone through an unbelievably difficult ordeal,” Trudeau said.
“It is good news for all of us that they are on their way home to their families.”

#全球抗疫# 为何丹麦抗疫能够成功、美国不能？
华盛顿邮报的解释是“美国人对专家、政府、媒体和学术机构失去了信任”，结果就是不少州的新冠疫苗完全接种率不及50%，而丹麦的新冠疫苗完全接种率高达86%。
难道华邮真心不知道为何会这样？看看几个所谓的大牛新冠疫情以来的表现......。
Washington Post reported this week. As a result, 86 percent of eligible Danes have been vaccinated. In the U.S., trust in expertise, government, the media, and institutions has collapsed. Vaccinations are lagging below 50 percent in many states, and we may add another 100,000 deaths this fall and winter to our grim total of 675,000. The pandemic still casts a deep shadow over our lives.
