Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou was released on bail on the afternoon of December 11 after being detained in Canada for 10 days.In recent days, the outside world has criticized Canada's approach in response to this incident.Chinese Ambassador to Canada Lu Shaye published a signed article titled "We Don't Want to See Canada Deviate from Fairness and Justice" in the Globe and Mail on the 13th.
It pointed out that Meng Wanzhou was rudely detained by the Canadian side without any Canadian legal charges. This is not judicial independence, but judicial injustice.What the Canadian side has done this time has chilled the hearts of the Chinese people.Lu Shaye also bluntly said that those who accuse China of detaining relevant personnel in retaliation for Canada's detention of Ms. Meng should first reflect on Canada's actions. It is shameless and hypocritical to abuse China with double standards.
The full text is as follows:
After Ms. Meng Wanzhou, CFO of Huawei, was detained without reason by the Canadian side at the request of the United States, there were many comments in the Canadian media.We are pleased to see that many Canadians have a sense of justice and criticize the Canadian government for being unreasonable and illegal.However, some people tried their best to defend this behavior. Their arguments focused on two points. One is that Huawei poses a national security threat to Western countries, and the other is that the Canadian government should not interfere in politics because of the independence of the judiciary.
Huawei has partners all over the world, and Huawei has been recognized by the majority of partners for its reputation.Huawei has publicly clarified many times that it conducts business globally in strict compliance with the laws and regulations of the countries where it operates.The countries of the Five Eyes Alliance insist that Huawei threatens their national security, but they have never produced any evidence. They only rely on their so-called speculations to spread terror in society and mislead the people.If there are security risks in Huawei's telecommunications equipment, then the equipment produced by telecommunications equipment manufacturers in Western countries also has security risks, and the science and technology they use are the same.If you want to say who poses the greatest threat to the security of other countries, you can learn about the Prism Gate incident.When someone blames the Chinese company Huawei, they should look in the mirror at themselves.
In the final analysis, they are still looking at China with the old Cold War mentality, and always regard the socialist China led by the Communist Party of China as an alien.They are worried that China is developing too fast, not only in the economy, but also in science and technology to surpass Western countries, so they use the guise of national security to suppress Chinese companies and hinder China's development.
This incident is not a simple judicial case, but a premeditated political action. It is the political pursuit of a Chinese high-tech company by using state power by the United States.The United States conducts the so-called long-arm jurisdiction in accordance with its own domestic law, which has no legal basis in international law.The reason why the United States is so domineering is that it relies on its disparity in strength to implement power politics against other countries.Just imagine, if an American company encounters such unfair treatment in a foreign country, how will the US react?
The Canadian side detained Ms. Meng Wanzhou arbitrarily without any Canadian legal charges. This is not judicial independence, but judicial injustice.You keep emphasizing judicial independence to China, but have you demonstrated judicial independence in dealing with the unreasonable demands of the US?You did not make your own judgment independently, otherwise Ms. Meng should not be detained.You plausibly say that you are fulfilling your international obligations to the United States, but where do you place your international obligations to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens?Ms. Meng was unreasonably detained by you just in transit at Vancouver Airport.Those who accuse China of detaining relevant personnel in retaliation for Canada's detention of Ms. Meng should first reflect on Canada's actions. It is shameless and hypocritical to abuse China with double standards.
A Canadian reader of The Globe and Mail wrote to the newspaper that I am deeply ashamed that our government has participated in this kidnapping of a foreign business executive.
In the past few days, many Canadians have been calling the Chinese Embassy in Canada or posting online. They are indignant at the unfair treatment of Huawei, especially Ms. Meng Wanzhou's detention by the Canadian side.
Canada originally had a very good national image in the eyes of the Chinese people, but Canada's actions this time chilled the hearts of the Chinese people.
